With only one victory in their five games, Bangladesh and the Netherlands have had comparable tournament paths. After their historic triumph over South Africa in their third tournament match, Netherlands has been unable to sustain their momentum. Likewise, after thrashing Afghanistan in their opening game, Bangladesh has not won a single game in the tournament.

Bangladesh, who have struggled to progress in both areas, tried to settle their playing XI after being without skipper Shakib al Hasan for the whole of the competition. In their most recent game against South Africa, Bangladesh’s shortcomings were made evident as the Proteas amassed 382 runs in their 50 overs and bowled out the Bangladesh batters for a pitiful 233 runs.

In contrast, the Netherlands looked to recover from their devastating loss to five-time world champions Australia in their most recent match. With 399 runs in their 50 overs, the Australian batters terrorised the Dutch spinners. The Dutch batting lineup, meanwhile, was under pressure after being dismissed for 90 runs in just 21 overs.
