Netherlands National Cricket Team Vs Bangladesh National Cricket Team Timeline

The Netherlands national cricket team has seen steady improvement over recent years, yet still requires additional development if it wants to compete at the highest levels of world cricket. This tour against Bangladesh presents them with an ideal opportunity for doing just that.

Litton Das was in excellent form for Bangladesh with a quick-fire 73 off 46 balls but the rain gods ultimately had the final say as the match was abandoned after 18.2 overs.

Timeline

Bangladesh are looking to seal a three-match series after beating Netherlands by eight wickets in the first T20I on Sunday. Their powerful batting performance in that first match saw Litton Das score 54 off 29 balls while Saif Hassan hit two sixes en route to scoring 36 off 19 deliveries – two remarkable performances that should give Bangladesh every confidence for Sunday’s clash against Netherlands.

Dutch batsmen meanwhile are leaning heavily on their disciplined bowlers for support, with Taskin Ahmed from Bangladesh making an impressionful return by bowling Michael Levitt and Tim Pringle quickly, while leg-spinner Rishad Hossain kept batsmen at bay.

Kyle Klein to Jaker Ali: Jaker Ali hit an off-spinner of good length toward deep square leg, for an easy single. The visitors look to defend their lead with help from fine leg, midwicket and square leg fielders while adding top order depth via Fred Klaassen, Logan Van Beek Max O’Dowd Sybrand Engelbrecht as key fantasy picks in this matchup.

Preparations

Bangladesh cricket team scored an emphatic victory against Netherlands in their inaugural T20 International at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet on Sunday. Taskin Ahmed led Bangladesh’s bowling attack, picking up four wickets while keeping Netherlands score down to only 136 runs in 20 overs. Litton Das led their chase down with ease courtesy of an astounding 73 from 29 balls scored by him.

Bangladesh started off their run chase well, with Parvez Hossain Emon hitting two fours and a six in the first over of their run chase. But after that it was all one-way traffic as Bangladesh regularly hit boundaries to score runs.

In the 16th over, Aryan Dutt bowled a fuller delivery that Jaker Ali attempted to flick but failed miserably at. The umpire raised his finger and gave Jaker out; however, Jaker challenged this ruling, as it clearly pitched outside leg stump. Jaker appealed this ruling successfully and had his review upheld by an umpire.

Schedule

The Netherlands tour of Bangladesh will feature three T20 Internationals from August 26 to September 3 and marks the first time that their men’s national cricket team will play bilaterally against Bangladeshi sides. It also serves as an essential preparation ahead of qualifying for the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup through European qualifying tournament.

Bangladesh and Netherlands will contest their second T20 International on 1 September at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, with Litton Das’ 29-ball 54 and Saif Hassan’s 19-ball 36 providing Bangladesh a comfortable win in the previous match.

Netherlands bowlers were successful in restricting Bangladesh batters during most of their innings and Kyle Klein made an excellent contribution with one wicket taken. Unfortunately, rain intervened after multiple stoppages forced play to be called off and ultimately abandoned 2-0 to Bangladesh in this three match series.

Result

Bangladesh won the three-match series 2-0 after it was abandoned due to rain. Litton Das led Bangladesh with his batsmen scoring 73 off 46 balls but Dutch bowlers kept their batsmen contained with multiple interruptions due to rain during their innings.

Aryan Dutt responded quickly with his slower delivery to dismiss Parvez Emon for 14 runs in just three balls before Bangladesh batters quickly outscored them to reach their target in no time.

Kyle Klein to Jaker Ali: Fuller, on off, shaping in. Jaker takes a stance and swings it toward deep square leg for six. The umpire raises his finger but review reveals the ball hit his pads instead – rewarding Bangladesh batsman’s confidence with overturn of umpire’s decision. Netherlands captain Scott Edwards expressed satisfaction with their performance while giving credit to Bangladesh batters for such an outstanding display under trying conditions.
