Analysis:
Bangladesh doesn’t boast of a great record entering this World Cup as they have lost five consecutive games. Their batting has failed to fire whereas their bowlers have been hit for a lot of runs. Their top bowler Mustafizur Rahman hasn’t been in the best of form while their star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan will have to do the majority of the heavy lifting for the Bangla tigers in the World Cup.
The Netherlands had a good performance in the first round of the tournament and defeated UAE and Namibia to clinch their Super 12 spot. They have a solid well-rounded team which would see them through the tournament and register a few upset wins. The best player in their team has been Bas de Leede as he has made valuable contributions in all departments.
