Shakib Al Hasan’s Bangladesh are set to take on Scott Edwards’ Netherlands in the ongoing 28th match of the 2023 Men’s World Cup at Kolkata’s iconic Eden Gardens on October 28 from 2pm onwards.
Both teams are an absolute shocker even though they have never reached a World Cup finals.
The two teams will also enter the confrontation on the back of losses in their matches. In the previous match, Bangladesh lost to South Africa by 149 runs, and the Netherlands lost to Australia by 309 runs.
Out of the 5 matches played in the current World Cup, Bangladesh have won only one match and are ranked 8th in the points table. The Netherlands also won one match and ranks last in the points table.

The Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata is known for hosting high-scoring matches as it favors the batsmen. However, as the game progresses, spinners often dominate the game. Choosing to shoot first and then chase the target may be a wise decision.
