Netherlands have posted a below par 229 on the board on Saturday (28th October). Scott Edwards fighting 68 helped them cross 200 mark barrier. For Bangladesh, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman and Taskin Ahmed shared 2 wickets each helped them restrict the Dutch inside 230.

Scott Edwards lone hand took Netherlands to 229.
Earlier, Netherlands won the toss and chose to bat first. Coming out to bat they were into a deep trouble with losing their top two inside just 2 overs. Shoriful Islam struck first and sent Max ODowd for packing. Taskin Ahmed gave the second breakthrough as he removed Vikramjit Singh for 3 off 9. After the new ball burst, Barresi was adamant to take on the Bangladeshi bowlers. He was absolutely on fire and smacked a flurry of boundaries. He raced to 41 off just 41 deliveries striking 100. But Mustafizur Rahman came and sent him packing.

Ackermann and Bas De Leede couldn’t hang on and didn’t support their captain and went back to the pavilion earlier on. Captain Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht stitched a fine partnership to take Netherlands out of hole. Scott Edwards scored a fine fifty and scored a composed 68 off 89 balls.
Mustafizur Rahman was at his best on the day. And he made the Dutch lacklustre. And as a result they were bundled for 229 inside 50 overs.
