NED vs BAN Match Preview

Netherlands and Bangladesh, two of the bottom three sides in the 2023 Cricket World Cup, lock horns in Match 28 on Saturday at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. With only England in between the teams in the table, it has been a poor campaign for both teams who have picked up one victory in the tournament. After beating South Africa earlier in the tournament, the Netherlands not only have a new group of fans following their every move but expectations have also raised in the Ireland camp. Bangladesh have far more experience than the Netherlands players at the highest level and in ODI and T20I World Cups. Although both teams have won only one match so far, we are expecting the Tigers to have the upperhand and to record their second win.

Topmost Picks for NED vs BAN Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Netherlands

• Scott Edwards – The keeper-batter and skipper has generally come to the crease at number seven but he has far more talent than most batting at that number so could move up in this game.
• Aryan Dutt – For the first time in the tournament we saw a batter dominate the tall off-spinner with David Warner attacking him through backward point. However, he still got the big wicket of Steve Smith.

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Litton Das – The 29 year old right handed opener has been Bangladesh’s most consistent batter in the top order during the tournament. He has contributed two half-centuries with 76 against England and 66 versus India.
• Shakib Al Hasan – The captain showed no ill effects from his injury in the defeat in Match 23 as he dismissed Aiden Markram in the 31st over. He should be back to full fitness and be more dangerous in this game.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for NED vs BAN Dream11 Team:

Litton Das(C), Scott Edwards, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Vikramjit Singh, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Logan van Beek(VC), Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for NED vs BAN Dream11 Team:

Litton Das, Scott Edwards, Tanzid Hasan, Max O’Dowd, Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz(VC), Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede(C), Logan van Beek, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Litton Das, Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Vice-captain – Logan van Beek, Bas de Leede

Wicketkeeper – Litton Das

NED vs BAN Probable Winners

Although neither team has a chance of finishing in the top four of the tournament right now, we expect this game to be played with a high level of competitiveness. Neither team wants to finish at the bottom of the table, and this is a very winnable match for both. In the competition, the Netherlands have not seen enough runs from their top order, and this could be a problem again in this game. We believe the Tigers have more depth in both the batting and bowling departments, and we expect Netherlands to win. Considering the team combination, Netherlands is expected to win this match.
