Netherlands and Bangladesh will play the 28th match of the 2023 Cricket World Cup. Bangladesh and Netherlands are currently ninth and tenth respectively in the rankings of the ten-team tournament.

Netherlands and Bangladesh, two of the final three teams of the 2023 Cricket World Cup, will meet in the 28th match at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Saturday. With only England between the teams in the table, it was a poor season for both teams, who managed a win in the tournament. The Netherlands beat South Africa in the 15th game but have since lost to Sri Lanka and Australia. Bangladesh have lost to England, New Zealand, India and South Africa after their opening win against Afghanistan. The game starts at 2:00 p.m. local time.

After beating South Africa at the start of the tournament, the Netherlands not only have a new group of fans watching their every move, but expectations have also risen in the Ireland camp. This will be a tough game, but they definitely have enough winners to make the competition interesting.

Bangladesh have far more experience than the Dutch players at the highest level and in ODI and T20I World Cups. Although both teams have only won one game so far, we expect the Tigers to come out on top and record their second win.

Match Preview

Netherlands (NED) and Bangladesh (BAN) will lock horns in the 28th match of the ongoing ODI World Cup on Saturday (October 28) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both teams won one of five games each.

The Netherlands lost their last game against Australia by a huge margin of 309 runs. Australia scored 399 runs for the loss of eight wickets in 50 overs. David Warner and Glenn Maxwell each scored a century for Australia. Logan van Beek was the pick of the Netherlands bowlers, taking four wickets for 74 runs in 10 overs. The Netherlands were bundled out for 90 runs. No Dutch batsman managed to score more than 25 runs for the team.

Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam and Shakib Al Hasan picked one wicket each.

Match Prediction

Although there is currently only a minimal chance that either team will qualify in the top four of the tournament, we expect this game to be played with a high level of competitiveness and a winnable game for both. The Netherlands haven't seen enough runs from their top group in the competition and that could be the problem again in this game. We believe the Tigers' batting and bowling departments have more depth and overall we are backing Bangladesh to win.

Betting Tips

Bangladesh are without a win in their last four World Cup matches, while the Netherlands have only recorded a shock victory over South Africa.

Bangladesh should win this game as they are strong with and against spin in relatively familiar sub-continental conditions. They are considered 1.40 favorites against 3.10 underdogs Netherlands.

Top Fantasy Picks Dream11 Prediction

Netherlands Key Players

Vikramjit Singh – The 20-year-old left-hander found it difficult to cope with the accuracy of the Australian bowlers but he still scored a run-a-ball 25.

Logan van Beek – The New Zealand-born pace bowler conceded 74 runs against Australia but dismissed both openers before taking the wickets of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc later in the innings.

Aryan Dutt - For the first time in the tournament we saw a batsman dominate the big off-spinner and David Warner attacked him through a back point. However, he still got the big wicket of Steve Smith.

Bangladesh Key Players

Mahmudullah – The experienced middle-order all-rounder was in excellent form with the bat in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. He comes into this match with over 5200 ODI runs from 195 innings.

Hasan Mahmud – Although he was expensive against South Africa, the fast medium bowler still managed to grab the big wickets of Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen.

Shakib Al Hasan – The captain showed no ill effects from his injury in the 23rd game defeat as he sent off Aiden Markram in the 31st game. He should be fully fit again and be more dangerous in this game.
