ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 Bangladesh will take over the Netherlands. Both teams will try to win the match whoever loses the match will be eliminated from the tournament. Bangladesh lost against South Africa in a low-scoring thriller and the Netherlands too lost the match while defending a low score against South Africa.

Journey till now: Bangladesh and Netherlands

Bangladesh has been unpredictable as their journey can’t explain as such but they either rely more on batting or else on bowling so it’s complicated to see which player is in form youngster Rishad Hossain has impressed till now and he is being praised more, other bowlers like Mustafizur Rahman is doing well, the concern is about skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto and connoisseur Shakib Al Hasan they are not performing well and so the team is lacking there so they should keep calm and spend more time on pitch analyze the pitch and adapt the conditions perfectly.

The Netherlands are relying on their bowlers batters need to give more support to the team or else the match may slip easily. Skipper Scott Edwards needs to judge the conditions and pitch as they are playing their first match on the West Indies pitch so the pitch won’t be the same and so it should be analyzed properly, back players perfectly one chance will turn the fortunes if they plan wisely and execute it properly. Bas De Leede has improved well enough so he will keep his from as well. Sybrand Engelbrecht was the savior for the Netherlands but other batters including Scott Edwards need to contribute well.

Stats:

  • Bangladesh, incidentally, played the last international match at Arnos Vale, a Test-match defeat to West Indies in September 2014. Mahmudullah is the only member of their T20 World Cup squad to have featured in that game. They will also play against Nepal here on June 17, and a three-match T20I series against West Indies later this year.
  • Bangladesh holds an overall 4-3 win record over the Netherlands in all formats but they lost their most recent meeting, the 2023 World Cup game in Kolkata.
  • Netherlands made their best start with the ball against a Full Member team in T20Is when they reduced South Africa to 12 for 4 in their last game.
  • Tanzim Hasan has picked up three wickets in the powerplay overs at this World Cup, at an average of 8.33.

Head-to-Head: Bangladesh and Netherlands

It’s 4-3 Bangladesh holds a slight upper hand over the Netherlands.

Match-ups:

Taskin Ahmed has performed admirably as the attack leader. He has taken the big wickets of Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram, Kusal Mendis, and Dasun Shanaka in Bangladesh’s two games while going at just 5.50 per over. It is still early days but if he can keep getting the ball in shape and maintain his overall fitness, Taskin could end up as one of the top bowlers of the tournament.
Logan van Beek has already bowled arguably the ball of the tournament. His delivery to Reeza Hendricks in New York pitched on middle and off squared up the batter and flicked the off bail as van Beek flew into a celebratory run. He has been the Netherlands’ best bowler in their two matches so far, picking up five wickets. Accuracy is van Beek’s hallmark, regardless of whether he is bowling with an upright or wobbly seam.

Pitch Report:

International cricket returns to Arnos Vale after nearly ten years. The ground has never hosted a CPL match either, so it is hard to predict what the conditions might be like. There’s a bit of early-morning rain in the forecast in the region.

Playing XI:

Bangladesh (probable): 1 Tanzid Hasan, 2 Najmul Hossain Shanto (capt), 3 Litton Das (wk), 4 Shakib Al Hasan, 5 Towhid Hridoy, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Jaker Ali, 8 Rishad Hossain, 9 Tanzim Hasan, 10 Taskin Ahmed 11 Mustafizur Rahman.
Barring last-minute injuries, the Netherlands is likely to continue with the same XI.
Netherlands (probable): 1 Michael Levitt, 2 Max O’Dowd, 3 Vikramjit Singh, 4 Sybrand Engelbrecht, 5 Bas de Leede, 6 Scott Edwards (capt & wk), 7 Teja Nidamanuru, 8 Logan van Beek, 9 Tim Pringle, 10 Paul van Meekeren, 11 Vivian Kingma.
