Who will win the match?
World cup arrives in Kolkata a place where the conditions are similar to the ones in Bangladesh. Bangladesh are coming off a 149 run defeat against South Africa. Their bowlers were all over the place against the Proteas and the only positive for Bangladesh has been Mahmudullah’s return to form.

NED vs BAN Toss Prediction
In the 30 ODI matches played at this venue the team batting first emerged victorious in 18 matches and the team batting second won 12 matches and the average 1st innings score is 256 runs. As it is the first match of the tournament at Kolkata expect a batting friendly track and we predict the team winning the toss will opt to bowl first.
Netherlands Preview and Playing XI
Netherlands are positioned at the bottom of the table with one win and four losses in five matches. Their opening pair is yet to score a 50 run partnership in the tournament which is a really bad stat. Their bowling attack was blown away by Maxwell madness and Warner’s hundred in Delhi but the conditions will be more favorable to their bowlers at Kolkata and expect them to go in with the same playing XI.
Netherlands Playing XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max O’Dowd, Colin Ackermann, Bas de Leede, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (C & WK), Sybrand Engelbrecht, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren.
Bangladesh Preview and Playing XI
Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan returned to Dhaka prior to the match against the Netherlands and rejoined the team yesterday at Kolkata. Taskin Ahmed who was sidelined due to a shoulder niggle was seen bowling at full swing in the nets two days back and he should be good to go against the Dutch. Bangladesh strategy of playing six bowlers against South Africa back fired and they might switch back to the six five formula with Towhid Hridoy back in contention for a spot in the starting lineup.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shakib Al Hasan (c) Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah, Nasum Ahmed , Hasan Mahmud/Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam.
