Bangladesh vs Netherlands ODI World Cup 2023 28th Oct Match
Netherlands beat Bangladesh By Massive 87 Runs
Associate nation Netherlands beat strong Bangladesh by a massive margin of 87 runs at Eden Gardens in the 28th natch of the 2023 World Cup.
The Netherlands registered two wins in the World Cup for the first time in an edition after participating five times since 1996. Their first triumph in this season came against mighty South Africa in Dharamshala and that too while defending. Along with that, this win is the Netherlands’s biggest margin victory against a full member nation.
After optioning to bat first, Skipper Scott Edwards’ resilient 68 off 69 balls, Barresi’s run a ball 41, and 35 by Sybrand aided Netherlands to set a target of 230 for Bangladesh. A Combined excellent bowling effort from the Bangladeshi bowling unit led them to restrict the Orange Army to this low score.
While chasing the attainable score, Bangladesh was reduced to 70 runs with the loss of 6 wickets within 18 overs, courtesy of van Meek and Bas Leeds’ hostile effective fast bowling on perfect line and length. The Tigers lost their next 4 wickets in just 62 runs because of failing to prevent the inroads created by the Dutch bowlers. For Bangladesh, Mehedy Hasan top scored with 35 runs.
Van Meek’s career-best 4 for 23 and Bas De Leeds’ 2/25 mainly scripted this historic victory for the Netherlands in Kolkata.
