Bangladesh will be gutted with the result the other day in New York as they almost upset South Africa's applecart but it wasn't to be but still the Tigers have the destiny in their own hands in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup. Bangladesh take on the Netherlands in a virtual knockout in Group D on Thursday, June 13 in and would aim to take one step closer to a place in the Super 8. Bangladesh began the tournament with a crucial win against Sri Lanka and even though they lost to the Proteas, they will fancy their chances against the Dutch and Nepal.
The Dutch will be no pushovers considering how they almost did a third on the Proteas after having beaten them in the T20 World Cup in 2022 and the ODI World Cup last year. Scott Edwards-led side has already beaten Nepal in their opening game and given the slow conditions in the Caribbean, if they bat first, they could challenge Bangladesh, who have a brittle top order apart from a couple of batters.
Bangladesh's bowling has come up leaps and bounds in this tournament and will hope that it keeps them in good stead to make it to the Super 8.
