ICC World Cup 2023: The Netherlands (229) inflict an embarrassing 87-run defeat over Bangladesh (142)

On a pitch which doing a bit with the scrumble seam, Theres some swinging in. So a gentle medium would have been decent here - Soumya Sarkar? BD pace bowling is ok but bit overrated by themselves.

Batting is just laughable. Proper village cricket stuffs.
 
Teams that finish in the top 8 of WC league stages will get a direct entry into the upcoming Champions trophy. This is the incentive that BD should aim for as Shakib talked about few days ago in a presser.

Till Riyad’s stays in the crease, BD has got a chance to chase this total.
 
230 should've been a straightforward chase against an associate.

Would be the worst defeat of all time for BD. This is worse than 2003 defeat against Canada.
 
Shakib got out similar ways like in SA game. Hasnt learned anything too close to cut to wide to chase it, ugly technique. Mahmudullah this match should have come higher. Egoistic captain cant have someone else over shinning him.

Shakib should retire after world cup, not wait till next CT. Curse of Tamim on the egoistic selfish cricketer, has worked. Looks a like a proper village batsman out there every match!
 
This is embarrassing even for our low standards - normally, I don't criticize our players because there is a clear lack of ability, but this is not about ability, this is lack of attitude, self-respect. I know, there is a major chaos and division around the team, but national players wearing national shirt can't be this irresponsible.

It’s moving around a bit, Netherland bowling decent line and length bowling lot scramble stuffs which has worked for them. BD batting technique is just sunday league in UK.
 
What are the requirements for getting Test Status?
Netherlands are playing such a great cricket, they deserve test status 👍🏻

No excuses bro - it's never a 70/6 wicket, not even for associates. I would have taken that had there been some unplayable balls - first five wickets were absolute gift..... you don't need bad wicket for that. Specially when they know that dew is coming.
 
These pathetic loosers should be banned from playing international cricket for next 5 years and should be allowed to play in Netherland domestic cricket League. Haturasinghe the great (!!) coach should be transferred to do coaching for Ghana national cricket team. Mr Pappon the immortal cricket board President should be given job in Bhutan film industry.

There is bounce as well of a good length. Climbing at times
 
Bangladesh cricket is finished. Pure garbage. Fundamentally ultra corrupt more than anything.

He will be dropped. In fact, many, many people are going to loose their comfortable seat, feasting on BD cricket.

I don't know how much you are aware of the situation in Bangladesh but wait and see - lots, lots of things are going to change after many years of free joy ride, not only in cricket.

I don't write anything here because I am a known figure and my family lives in Bangladesh...... just wait and see.
 
I cant wait to see Shakib and Mushy retire tbh. Wish both call it quits after this cwc. Both did their things but now it’s time to go from ODI. Bith are irresponsible batters now, literally bat like they are new to cricket despite so many years of cricket. Poor game awareness ..

I hope Mahmudullah becomes captain till next CT. Man is matured and has a good head on him, calm. Yes he is older than both the other but age is just a number.
 
152 are needed from 29 overs.

One big partnership can do it. But, Netherlands are favorites now.
 
Bangladesh has been the most disappointing team this world cup, big low after the highs of 2015 and 2019 world editions.

Netherlands, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, all have shown sparks of brilliance and beaten higher ranked teams. So they have done much better than Bangladesh till now.

Sad that this is how the generation of Shakib, Tamim, Mushfiqur etc. will bow out of the world stage. This was Bangladesh's golden generation and they have underachieved. Youngsters too aren't showing maturity and fight at the highest level.
 
I kinda agree with Ramiz here. They need variety of surfaces in order to adapt to different conditions. Both bowlers and batsmen. Srilankan pitches are better in that regard.

Though having spoken to some desi colleagues working in NL, there is a lot of inherent glass ceiling in NL for Asian players, not sure if racism is the correct words (prolly not), but folks did mention that "paler" players were preferred over Asians if at same skill levels and Oz,SA immigrant (not expats lol) players are given more game time; have to be the cream to rise to the top as an Asian player.

Not sure true or not.

They have one chance to beat a bigger side. Against Pakistan. LEt us see how they go.
 
Bangladesh must first move their matches out of the kabbadi pitch of Mirpur. To have that kind of surface for their ODI and T20 games won't help the tigers in the long run. Just some artificial wins against good teams that gives an inflated sense of their ability.
 
BD - 81/6 (22.1 overs).

If they bat out 50 overs, they have a chance of avoiding defeat. Need to bat out all overs.
 
Van Meekeren and De Leede have played cricket in England, and Van Beek in New Zealand. In these countries they teach you the art of bowling seam. Fast bowling is not all about bowling 90mph+ and swinging the ball around corners.

Even bowling at 81 mph, if you pitch consistently in the right areas, and use small variations in seam position and the like, you can be very challenging for batters.

Too good for BAN.

Agree.

That Mirpur pitch has done more harm than good.

They get some meaningless bilateral wins but flop during main tournaments.

Hope so brother. Bangladesh fans are some of the most passionate and supporting ones around, they deserve better from their players and cricket board. Game against Pakistan is in Kolkata as well, hope they give a spirited effort there.
 
Need to get a partnership going. Last two recognised batsman. Tick along, take singles, still get able. They need to bat well though.

During such games, miss reading @Varun (as Vahroone) and his interactions with BD fans in their forum (suspiciously got closed just before the start of WC), though.

He is kinda legendary there when it comes to trash talking 🤣

The chasing score is not very high and Still BD game to lose.
 
Mahmudullah is a world class batsman. Netherlands can't think of victory till he is there on the crease.
He has 3 world cups hundreds and all against SENA nations. 🔥🔥
 
Taskin can whack a few, hold one end. These two need to take it deep.

Ffs rotate the strike you are not playing prime Akhtar or Lee defending like sunday league batsman against gentle pace. Play safely but keep rotating strike. Being bogged down so badly adds more pressure

Yup.

There's no real scoreboard pressure. They have to take it deep and see how it goes.
 
Bangla bros in big trouble here. Wow.

Netherlands about to go above Pak 😬

Ahh good ole Vahroone, he does trigger a few of them :viru
 
wow Dirk Nannes is exposing the truth. If the ball blunces over 1 meter entire BD team is in trouble.
 
What's the story here? Is it a raging turner or something? This is dire. Netherlands stuttered aswell when I was keeping an eye on it during the NZ v AUS game; I thought that was just down to a minnow-level performance.

Mahmudullah is a beast though. Tall order but a chance all the same.

Typical Eden Gardens track. Ball seams, swings and can be very helpful for those kind of bowlers. Almost English conditions.

Not a turner. Assisting medium pacers. That's all.

But, BD batting is to be blamed the most. They batted irresponsibly.
 
If the same kind of pitch is used b etween BD and Pak, i sense a one-sided game in favor of Pakistan. They should go in with 4 seamers here.

Has a spongy bounce, could be two paced as well.

Resembles some of the past IPL season (Gambhir era) pitches where scoring is not very easy due to sluggishness of the pitch.
 
Mahmudullah off the back foot. He's there, there's a chance.

There's a game on here. Could be another closely contested game if BD can take it deeper than this.
 
Shanto has been a massive failure this cwc. Him and Das share same blood both will score one inning them go missing next 5-6 matches!

Every team has a set batting order, solid number 3 and 4, bd has a batting order which they don’t know what is until they bat. They had shanto at 3 mostly tried miraz at 3 few times, mushy too low went up, shakib goes up then middle. Mahmudullah too low, went up at 6 last game.


Haturusinghe has been a curse for BD cricket. Get rid of this guy asap. Completely messed up the heads of the players and destroyed the whole team with his issues with seniors.
 
BAN : 93-6 (26.0)

M Riyad: 16 (26)
M Hasan: 7 (25)

CRR: 3.58 | RRR: 5.71

Bangladesh need 137 runs in 144 balls
 
Take 4-5 runs a over. Play oldschool odis. Still plenty ovets left. Don’t do anything silly. Sheikh Mahedi needs to support Mahmudullah
 
Sabbir Rahman has to make a comeback into this middle order. Haturu destroyed him too by making him play at 3 which is a different situation in the game, he is early into the batting all the time as bd lose openers early, against moving ball he just aint made for that. He was fine at 6/7. A natural big hitter lost.
 
Crazy to me that Mahmudullah has basically batted 7 his whole career.
 
Run rate is manageable. 5s is nothing in the modern era. Mahedi just needs to occupy the crease. Runs will come.
 
Just seen replays of the wickets to fall - like the look of this track. Something there for the bowlers.
 
Athar Ali khan is getting emotional about scott edwards drop lol Dude. Every team dropped catch today. NZ today dropped a few too.

He has a point though.

BD dropped their best batter twice.

A team like NZ can bounce back after catch drops. Harder for BD if they do the same.
