Match Preview
The second match of Saturday's double-header will have Netherlands locking horns with Bangladesh at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Both the teams have had a curvy season so far in the ODI World Cup 2023. While Bangladesh sit at the bottom-second spot, Netherlands moved to the last spot in the standings after their heavy 309-run loss to Australia in their last fixture. The teams have managed to win only one match each so far in the tournament.
Speaking of the latest updates, Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan has travelled to Bangladesh amidst the ongoing tournament to train with his mentor Nazmul Abedeen Faheem and will join the squad in Kolkata on the forthcoming match’s eve.
Toss Prediction
Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards won one of the three tosses in his side’s last three matches in the ongoing tournament. Bangladesh skipper Shakib Al Hasan and stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto also managed to win one of the three tosses in their previous three matches. For the upcoming match, we think that the Bangla Tigers’ skipper will have luck on his side, and he will come on top of the toss war.
Win Possibility
Bangladesh and Netherlands have faced each other twice in ODI format where both the teams emerged victorious in one game each. However, if we have a look at the current records, the Netherlands haven’t played much 50-over cricket off late. Not only this, but the 2023 World Cup marks only the fifth appearance for the Dutch in the marquee event.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, are a stronger team and have come on top of some of the best teams in recent times including India, Australia and New Zealand. The squad, too, has some of the best names, including skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who is undoubtedly one of the best all-rounders to have graced the game.
Considering this, we think Bangladesh will make the most of their opportunity to extend the win streak to two against Netherlands by winning the game.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host its first of five ODI World Cup 2023 matches as Netherlands and Bangladesh lock horns on October 28, Saturday. Speaking of its overall record, the oldest cricket stadium in India has hosted a total of 31 ODI matches so far.
The average first inning score of the venue is 236. For the forthcoming match, we think the first inning score is likely to be around 260-270, while the powerplay score will be 40-45.
