Bangladesh will lock horns with Netherlands in the 17th match of the T20 World Cup 2022 at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. After some fighting performances against the UAE and Namibia in the Round 1, Netherlands made their way through to the Super 12.

The Dutch are led brilliantly by skipper Scott Edwards with top order batter Max O'Dowd being in good touch whereas the Tigers are coming winless from the tri-series against New Zealand and Pakistan. Bangladesh are most likely to choose Soumya Sarkar and Litton Das as their openers instead of the experimenting with Mehidy Hasan Miraz.

It is everything to play for in this contest when both the teams are here to take an early lead so as to not fall behind when they face the big giants.

Date & Time: October 24, 9:30 AM IST

Pitch Report: More than the pitch, the emphasis will be on weather that is expected to be rainy. However, if we get a full match, expect the score around 150 with shorter boundaries as compared to Australian standards.

Probable Playing XI

Bangladesh:  Soumya Sarkar, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam

Netherlands: Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Tim Pringle, Roelof van der Merwe, Timm van der Gugten, Fred Klaassen and Paul van Meekeren

Prediction

Having similar quality, neither of these sides have an edge over each other. But considering Netherlands have played excellently in the last three games, they might have gotten a little more used to the conditions and that could play in their favour. Hence, Netherlands are likely to win this match.
