Bangladesh set to face Netherlands in 1st T20I ahead of crucial Asia Cup preparation
Netherlands and Bangladesh are gearing up to face each other in the first of a three-match T20I series, kicking off this Saturday at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. The series carries significant weight, particularly for Bangladesh, who will look to treat it as a final opportunity to sharpen their strategy ahead of the much-anticipated Asia Cup, set to begin on September 9.
While Bangladesh enter the series as favorites, being the hosts, Netherlands have established themselves as a top opposition in recent years by punching above their weight, especially in the shortest formats. They will be eager to make a statement and challenge a full-strength Bangladesh.
Again for Bangladesh, the series is more than just a bilateral meeting. It’s a crucial dress rehearsal. With the Asia Cup on the horizon, team management will be closely monitoring to identify their best XI. Litton Das will be leading the side, and all eyes will be on him along with Towhid Hridoy to anchor the top order.
Netherlands, on the other hand, will rely on the experience of Max O’Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, and Fred Klaassen. Meanwhile, a lot will depend on Netherland's decorated skipper, Scott Edwards.
Bangladesh vs Netherlands, Head-to-Head
Matches - 5
Bangladesh - 4
Netherlands - 1
Bangladesh probable XI: Litton Das (c&wk), Tanzid Hasan, Towhid Hridoy, Nurul Hasan, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam
Netherlands probable XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max O'Dowd, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (c&wk), Noah Croes, Cedric de Lange, Tim Pringle, Paul van Meekeren, Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein, Sikander Zulfiqar
