<strong>ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Match Prediction 2023 | Match 28 | Netherlands vs Bangladesh – Can Bangladesh pick up their second win in the tournament? | Oct 28</strong>

NED vs BAN Match Analysis

The nations are competing in this year’s ICC Men’s ODI World Cup to be crowned the global champions. After determining their strengths, teams will evaluate their strategy to advance to the semi-finals by the halfway point of the competition.

Bangladesh has won just one of the five World Cup games they have played, so far. Given that the World Cup was held on the subcontinent, the Bangla Tigers were expected to fare far better than they did.

Given the quantity of competitive cricket they play, the Netherlands would have always anticipated doing poorly at the World Cup, but their recent performances have definitely impressed many.

NED vs BAN Team Preview & Squads

Netherlands

We anticipate some changes ahead of this match, with some fatigued and exhausted bodies in the bowling attack, after they have played with the same squad for their last few games, including the victory over South Africa. Van Meekeren is expected to withdraw, and Ryan Klein will return. 

After losing the toss, the Netherlands was placed first in the field. The Dutch were hammered for 399 runs in 50 overs, and they had no idea what had hit them. The bowlers were batted out of the game in the first innings itself because they were unable to withstand the onslaught. Continuing his remarkable form, Logan van Beek claimed 4 wickets at a cost of 74 runs.

In order to approach the aim, the batting team had to exert maximum effort. Unfortunately, they were bowled out for just ninety runs, dropping the game by a massive thirty-eight runs. The batting unit disintegrated and will be hoping for a far better showing in their subsequent encounter.

Netherlands Squads

Netherlands

Scott Edwards (c) (wk), Colin Ackermann, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Vikramjit Singh, Teja Nidamaniri Bas de Leede, Roelof van der Merwe, Max O’Dowd, and Logan van Beek.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh made a single alteration prior to their Tuesday matchup against South Africa: Towhid Hridoy was left from the squad, and captain Shakib Al Hasan returned to the team following his full recovery from injury. This game is not anticipated to alter in any way.

The Batsmen took the Bangladeshi bowlers to the cleaners after they lost the toss and were fielded by the form South Africa. They took just 5 wickets in their 50 overs while giving up an enormous 382 runs. Since they had no response to that batting display, all of the bowlers were absolutely destroyed.

Bangladesh was unable to perform a miracle in order to reach the objective of 383 runs. All that they could muster was 233 runs in 46.1 overs, bowled out. Mahmudullah, though, gave the tigers cause for celebration with an incredible 111 off 111 balls.

Bangladesh Squads

Bangladesh

Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Nasum Ahmed, Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Hasan Mahmud, and Mahmudullah.

NED vs BAN outfield report

Eden Gardens

At this location, the 2023 Cricket World Cup will have its inaugural match. Both captains will opt to bat first if they win the toss, even though India won the most recent One-Day International by batting second. This is because the side that batted first won the previous five events in this format. 

On match day, the temperature will be high and muggy with no risk of rain. The temperature range for both the maximum and minimum will be 33°C to 23°C.

This Eden Gardens pitch should produce a lot of spin, as we should expect. Par will be between 320 and 330, with a steady bounce all through the game.
