T20 WC 2024: Who Will Be the Big Hitters in the Bangladesh vs Netherlands, 27th Match

The T20 World Cup 2024 has been a rollercoaster ride of epic cricketing action, featuring some of the best talents from around the globe. As we gear up for the 27th match, the showdown between Bangladesh and the Netherlands is set to be a barnburner. Expect fireworks, fancy footwork, and possibly a few dropped catches that will make you question gravity. Let’s dive into the key players expected to steal the spotlight

Towhid Hridoy: Bangladesh

Towhid Hridoy has been an absolute sensation for Bangladesh in the T20 format, shining brightly as a beacon of talent and promise. With 24 matches under his belt, he has scored 531 runs at an average of 31.23 and a striking rate of 133.08. Despite not having scored a century yet, Hridoy has two fifties to his name, along with 35 fours and 24 sixes.

In his last match, Hridoy scored 37 runs off 34 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes, at a strike rate of 108.82. His ability to play crucial knocks in the middle order makes him a valuable asset for Bangladesh. If he finds his rhythm early, Hridoy could be one of the standout performers against the Netherlands.

Mahmudullah: Bangladesh

Mahmudullah, with 133 T20 internationals to his credit, is one of the most experienced players in the Bangladesh squad. He has amassed 2335 runs with a highest score of 64* and an average of 24.32. Although his strike rate of 118.46 is modest, Mahmudullah’s experience and ability to anchor the innings cannot be underestimated. He has 8 fifties, 177 fours, and 72 sixes in T20Is.

In his last outing, Mahmudullah scored 20 runs from 27 balls, with 2 fours, at a strike rate of 74.07. While his recent form might seem subdued, the Bangladesh team will be counting on his experience to guide them through.

Max O’Dowd: Netherlands

Max O’Dowd is a crucial player for the Netherlands, with a solid track record in T20 internationals. He has played 68 matches, scoring 1830 runs at an average of 30.00 and a strike rate of 120.79. His highest score of 133* indicates his capability to play big innings. O’Dowd has hit 1 century and 13 fifties, along with 183 fours and 45 sixes.

However, O’Dowd had a disappointing performance in his last match, scoring just 2 runs off 6 balls at a strike rate of 33.33. 

Sybrand Engelbrecht: Netherlands

Sybrand Engelbrecht, relatively new to the international scene with only 10 T20Is, has shown promise with his batting skills. He has scored 236 runs at an impressive average of 33.71 and a strike rate of 131.11. His highest score of 75 highlights his potential to play significant knocks. Engelbrecht has hit 18 fours and 10 sixes in his short T20I career.

In his last match, Engelbrecht scored 40 runs off 45 balls, including 2 fours and 1 six, at a strike rate of 88.88. Engelbrecht’s consistency makes him a key player to watch in the match against Bangladesh.
