Bangladesh meet the Netherlands in their third match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup at the Arnos Vale Cricket Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent on Thursday, June 13. Bangladesh will be keen on winning after South Africa beat them in their last game.
The Bangla Tigers have many good spinners and hope to pick up a positive result. On the other hand, the Netherlands have experienced enough players to compete against the Bangladesh side.
Bangladesh’s batters must perform very well to win this game. They cannot repeat their performance against South Africa on Monday. They were set a modest total of 114 to chase down in that game but struggled to achieve it owing to some ordinary batting.
Predicted Squads
BAN: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan, Jaker Ali, Mahmudullah, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.
NED: Michael Levitt, Max ODowd, Vikramjit Singh, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Logan van Beek, Tim Pringle, Paul van Meekeren, Vivian Kingma.
Key Players
Towhid Hridoy (BAN): Middle-order batter Towhid Hridoy, about whom a lot has been written, has to come good in this game if Bangladesh aim for a spot in the Super Eight of this tournament. He can rotate the strike and hit the ball a long way.
Scott Edwards (NED): This Dutch side’s captain will be one of their most crucial players. Edwards has a commanding presence from behind the stumps and will play a major role in the middle order, rotating the strike and giving momentum to his side.
Match Prediction
Although Bangladesh are the favourites to win this game, the Dutch will give them a good run for their money. The Dutch players have already tasted top-flight cricket and will be keen to express their potential to the fullest in this match..
