Netherlands vs Bangladesh Highlights, World Cup: Dutchmen hammer Tigers by 87 runs at Eden Gardens

Netherlands vs Bangladesh LIVE: Netherlands have won the toss and decided to bat against Bangladesh in Match 28 of the ICC Cricket World Cup at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards at the toss: “We’ll have a bat first, wicket looks good. Hopefully, we can score quick. The good thing is it is a quick turnaround, so we need to leave the loss behind. We’ve set high expectations on ourselves, we need to just focus on the games to come. Barring the last game, we’ve been playing a lot of good cricket. Two changes - Shariz coming in for Roelof, Barresi comes in for Teja.” Two changes for Bangladesh, informs Shakib Al Hasan. He said at the toss, “We have to do better with batting and bowling, especially in the powerplay. If we can do that, the momentum will be with us. We’ve got a lot of Bangladeshis who have travelled across the border, plus in Kolkata we speak the same language, have a similar culture. Two changes - Taskin Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan comes in for Nasum Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud.” Netherlands XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Wesley Barresi, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards(w/c), Bas de Leede, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren Bangladesh XI: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam Netherlands vs Bangladesh Preview: Seeking a revival of fortunes, Bangladesh and Netherlands will have one last chance to keep their slender semi-finals hopes alive when they clash as the World Cup finally arrives at the hallowed Eden Gardens. As the sports-crazy city awakens from its 10-day Durga Puja revelry, the World Cup finally arrives in Kolkata, 23 days and 27 matches into the global showpiece. The familiar buzz and the World Cup excitement is, however, missing from the venue that is all decked-up for its leg of five matches which include the marquee India-South Africa clash and the second semifinal. Both teams have one win from four outings.
