    Bangladesh VS the Netherlands Bangladesh VS the Netherlands

    Since the last T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates, Bangladesh has played 17 T20Is, winning five and losing 12, while the Netherlands last qualified for the main round of the T20 World Cup in 2014. Since the last World Cup, they have played 10 T20Is, winning seven and 2, while one match was abandoned.

    The Netherlands will be happy with their overall performance in Group A of Round 1 of the T20 World Cup. Even though their last match against Sri Lanka did not end the way the captain had envisaged, as they scored only 163 runs, they will be confident when they face Bangladesh at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

    Bangladesh is in poor form with four straight defeats in the New Zealand tri-series, followed by another high defeat in the warm-up match. The Bangladesh coach has been busy dispelling rumors of concerns about team selection.
