We are not far away from the start of the game but before that both sets of players line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Bangladesh's first followed by the national anthem of Netherlands.

PITCH REPORT - Samuel Badree says that from the clubhouse end it is 76 meters on the long on region and a short pocket on the third man. Ramiz Raja joins him and says it is a solid batting pitch. Adds that there's hardly any blade of grass at the full-length or good-length area which will disturb batters, and conditions are ripe for big striking. Tells there might be a little bit of spin but we can expect a high-scoring game.

Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh says that they have to be better with both bat and ball in the Powerplay. Adds that he is fine with bowling first here and it is always good to play in Kolkata. He expects the support to be great as well. Informs they have also made two changes as Taskin Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan replaces Hasan Mahmud and Nasum Ahmed respectively.

Scott Edwards, the skipper of Netherlands says that they will bat first. Adds that the wicket looks good and they want to get off to a quick start as well. Tells that they have set high expectations for themselves and they need to perform to their potential here. Informs they have made a couple of changes as Wesley Barresi and Shariz Ahmad come in for this match.

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Mushfiqur Rahim (WK), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mahedi Hasan (In place of Nasum Ahmed), Taskin Ahmed (In place of Hasan Mahmud), Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Wesley Barresi (In place of Teja Nidamanuru), Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (C/WK), Bas de Leede, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad (In place of Roelof van der Merwe), Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren.

TOSS - Netherlands have won the toss and they have elected to BAT first.

Conversely, Bangladesh began their World Cup journey on a positive note with an initial win, but they have subsequently suffered four consecutive losses. Their chances of securing a spot in the top four teams of the tournament now appear slim. In their recent encounter against South Africa, they too suffered a heavy loss. Their bowling needs to improve massively while their middle order also start performing. Shakib Al Hasan will be once again the key player for them but Mahmudullah has been in exceptional form and also scored a hundred against the Proteas and will be important too. They now faces the task of regrouping, refining their strategies, and aim for the two points as they know they can't slip up anymore.

The Netherlands' recent performance was a bitter pill to swallow, as they faced the mighty Australian team. The Dutch bowlers found it challenging to contain the Aussies but will be confident about putting up a challenge in this game. Among the bowlers, Logan van Beek was a standout performer, claiming four wickets for 74 runs. Unfortunately, their batters too crumbled under the pressure of the massive target and were dismissed for a mere 90 runs. The batting department will undoubtedly be disappointed with their display and will be eager to make a strong comeback here. They haven't made a lot of changes till now but we may see a couple for this match. 

A warm welcome to all as we delve into Match No. 28 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, where the Netherlands faces off against Bangladesh in a contest that promises excitement. The Eden Gardens in Kolkata serves as the battleground for this clash, and the conditions appear highly conducive to an engaging game of cricket. Both the sides find themselves at the lower end of the points table and are eager to rise through the ranks. Interestingly these two teams have met only twice in this format. The first encounter occurred during the 2011 World Cup when Bangladesh triumphed by six wickets. Later that year, in the same year, the Netherlands defeated Bangladesh by a similar margin. These sides have not crossed paths in an ODI since 2011. 

... MATCH DAY ...

So, we are into Match No. 28 of the ICC CWC 2023 as the Netherlands goes against Bangladesh. Overall, the World Cup has been an exciting and unpredictable tournament so far, with various teams making their mark. Both sides are reeling at the bottom half of the table and will look to claw their way up on the points table. The Netherlands' recent outing was a tough pill to swallow against Australia. They were anyways considered underdogs from the beginning, but their performances in previous games were pretty impressive. However, in this particular match, they struggled as Australia set a massive target of 399 runs for them. The Dutch bowlers were unable to contain the Australian batters, and they conceded a high score. Logan van Beek was the standout performer, taking 4 wickets for 74 runs. Despite their efforts, the bowlers couldn't prevent Australia from dominating the game in the first innings. In the second innings, the Netherlands' batting department faced the daunting task of chasing down a massive total. Unfortunately, they crumbled under the pressure and were bundled out for just 90 runs. This resulted in a crushing defeat by a margin of 309 runs. The batting department will certainly be disappointed with their performance and will be looking to bounce back strongly in their next game. Bangladesh on the flip side, started their World Cup campaign on a positive note with a win, but unfortunately, they have faced four consecutive losses since then. Their chances of making it to the top four teams in the tournament are now slim. In their recent match against South Africa, Bangladesh lost the toss and was asked to field first. The South African batsmen were in top form and took advantage of the Bangladeshi bowlers. They scored a massive total of 382 runs, losing only 5 wickets in the process. The Bangladeshi bowlers struggled to contain the opposition and were unable to find a solution to their aggressive batting. Chasing such a high target of 383 runs would have required a remarkable performance from the Bangladeshi batsmen. Unfortunately, they fell short and were bowled out for 233 runs. However, there was a bright spot in the match as Mahmudullah played an exceptional innings, scoring 111 runs off 111 balls. Despite Mahmudullah's brilliant century, the overall performance of the team was not enough to secure a win. Bangladesh will now need to regroup and reassess their strategies in order to bounce back in their upcoming matches. It will be interesting to see how Bangladesh and the Netherlands fare in this and their remaining matches and whether they can make a strong comeback and continue to surprise the cricketing world.
