Netherlands posted 229 runs in 50 overs by losing all wickets against Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India on Saturday.
Netherlands captain Scott Edwards won the toss at Eden Gardens and gave his side the chance to get a score on the board. But wickets fell in clusters as Bangladesh took control of the match through the first half of the first innings, with Taskin Ahmed particularly impressive.
With his team in trouble, Edwards stood up with a captain's knock, hitting a fine half-century to help his team towards a total that kept them in the game.
But the Bangladesh attack always kept the scoring rate under control, and took another flurry of late wickets to bowl Netherlands out off the final ball of the innings.
