Bangladesh and Netherlands are ready to lock horns in the extremely exciting contest of the Super 12 phase of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Monday-24th October 2022.

It’s been quite a journey for the Netherlands side, who defeats all odds against them and advanced to the Super 12 stage. At first, they defeated the UAE side by 3 wickets. They outlasted Namibia in their second game then by 5 wickets. However, they lost their final qualifier against Sri Lanka.

The game against the Asian Champions was truly fantastic, where both teams tried hard to win, Sri Lanka, however always had the upper hand in the game. But, the Dutch side too played a good game. As they first restricted them to 162 in 20 overs and then managed to take the game to the last over but lost it by 16 runs.

Bangladesh and Netherlands have met only 1 time before in the marquee event where Bangladesh tasted success by 8 runs in the 2016 T20 World Cup in India.

Shakib Al Hasan may have been quiet with the ball (5 wickets in 10 T20Is) in 2022, but he has been making amends with the bat. He has scored 305 runs at an impressive average of 34, including 3 fifties. Afif Hossain has scored 405 runs at an average of 31 in 2022. Mosaddek Hossain’s transition into an off-spinner has been spectacular in 2022. He has taken 11 wickets including the best figures of 5 for 20 in 12 games.

Topping the batting chart for Bangladesh is Litton Das. In 14 games in 2022, he has collected 417 runs including 3 fifties and 2 thirties. Although he will be playing T20Is for the first time in Australia, the fact that he did well in New Zealand must boost his confidence.

Considering the Bangladesh side’s current form one can say that the Dutch may beat them. But the Tigers experience of playing at the big tournaments will help them and is the biggest factor. Their skipper Shakib Al Hasan is a one man army to boost the confidence of their players. So, it feels like they will pick up a win over the Netherlands. However, one simply cannot just underestimate the Netherlands, who have played some exceptional cricket in recent times.
