After being 31/4 in the Powerplay one would say it was quite a close game. But apart from Ackerman and a few lusty blows from Meekeren, there were hardly any contributions. Bangladesh just kept picking wickets throughout the innings as the Netherlands did in the first innings. Taskin had a brilliant day with the ball picking four for in his quota. This a good positive start for Bangladesh despite posting a mediocre score on a decent wicket the bowlers fought back. The Netherlands on the other hand should have tried and built partnerships in the middle alongside Ackerman and taken the game deep. But that's that folks. South Africa will play Zimbabwe shortly at the same venue.
Excellent innings from Ackerman. He made 62(48). He fought the lone while the rest others were coming and going.
A brilliant outing for Taskin Ahmed. He picks another wicket. he is my Man Of The Match definitely.
It is looking highly unlikely for the Netherlands from here on. It is up to Bangladesh to pick the remaining wickets and boost up their NRR.
Ackerman playing a lone hand here in Hobart. He is running out of partners but he refuses to give up. Bangladesh need to get through three overs of the fifth bowler.
The Netherlands are way behind the D/L method. Two wickets in the first over by Taskin two runouts followed. The innings never got going. Ackerman and Edwards try to build a partnership but Shakib had other plans for Edwards. Pringle was bowled by Hasan just before the interruption. Bangladesh just may have bagged two points here.
It is looking gloomy for the Netherlands. They just keep losing wickets. Ackerman trying to hold the innings together is running out of partners.
The partnership which looked promising comes to an end for the Netherlands. Edwards tries to reverse sweep Shakib caught to field behind the square inside the circle. After 12 Netherlands 66/5.
The Netherlands are trying to stabilise the innings. Ackerman and Edwards are building a partnership.
The Netherlands needs to build a partnership from here on. They need 112 runs from 84 balls.
Chasing a mediocre total Netherlands are panicking and making it difficult for themselves. Bangladesh is all over the Netherlands.
There is a lot of seam moment available for the Taskin to exploit. The Netherlands playing circumspective trying not to lose too many wickets. After three overs 6-2
Just what the doctor ordered for Bangladesh. Taskin picks two wickets of the first two deliveries pressure on Netherlends.
Taskin Ahmed bowls an out swinger to Vikramjeet Singh. He is caught in the firs slip by Ysif.
After starting promisingly the Bangladesh batter fell apart trying to score quickly. On the other hand, the Netherlands kept bowling tight lines and picking wickets at regular intervals. Afif has 38 and tried to take Bangladesh over 150 but couldn't do it. Van MEEKEREN had a top day with the ball picking two wickets in four and giving away 21 runs. Bangladesh does have a good bowling attack it will be interesting to see how this chase goes.
After scoring an important 38(26) Afif departs. Try to hit a short one behind the square and gloves it to the keeper. Bangladesh looks in d trouble to reaching 150.
Bangladesh trying hard to change gears but the Dutch were bowling tight lines and not letting Bangladesh run away from the game. After 17 Bangladesh 120-5.
A 12 run over for Bangladesh. Afif took on the young leg-spinner. It's high time that Bangladesh try and get a move on.
Bangladesh trying to rebuild the innings have lost all the momentum given by the openers after 14 overs Bangladesh is 93/5
The right seamer becomes the leading wicket tacker for the dutch after picking the fifth Bangladesh wicket. Bangladesh is losing their way from 170 being a possibility they have fallen. If they can manage 140 from here it would be an achievement in itself.
After a good start by Shanto and Sarkar of 43 runs for the opening wicket, Bangladesh started to lose wickets at regular intervals. The Dutch bowlers kept it tight and gave nothing away to the batters. It is a much-needed break for the batting side. They may have a chance to reassess the innings and come back after the break.
Bangladesh is looking like they want to score 220 on this surface which is dry underneath. They lost Shakib who is their prime batter. A brilliant catch by Bas De Leede silenced the Bangladeshi fans. Bangladesh has lost four wickets for 20 runs.
After nine 63/3. Bangladesh trying to force the score and impose themselves upon the Dutch bowlers losing wickets at regular intervals. All they need is a good partnership to settle things a bit.

Bangladesh loses their wicket in the final over of the power play. Soumya Sarkar the man departs after scoring a run ball 14. Liton Das is in after powerplay Ban 47/1.
Bangladesh has started well and is looking to post a good total. The wicket is looking good here in Hobart 170 should be a minimum from here on. After 5 Bangladesh 43/0
De leede conceded 14 runs in the over which include three wides. Bangladesh has changed four opening pairs in the last five games. Looks like Shanto and Soumya combination is what they may go with for the entire tournament.
A good solid foundation by the openers. A decent start for Bangladesh in this world cup. After three overs 19/0
Ackerman the off-spinner is bought into the attack for two left-handers in the middle. It is quieter compared to the opening one.
There is a swing on offer for the pace bowlers. Klassen was able to move the ball but was not able to control the moment. He bowled a couple of wides and drifted on to pads the 4th ball of the over to Soumya Sarkar which went for a boundary. After one Ban 12/0.
Fasten your seat belts for this clash it may not look attractive on paper. It is a game between two matched sides. We know what Bangladesh are capable of. We never know where a winning start will take you. Momentum can do strange things in this format of the game.

"We would have been bowled first. We are well prepared. We have been in New Zealand and have a good feeling about the conditions. We can't take Netherlands lightly. They are a great side. They can beat anyone. So, need to be on our mark. Mehidy Miraz, Shoriful Islam, and Ebadot Hossain are not playing. Well, I forgot the other."
"We will be bowling first. The weather is overcast, and maybe a couple of rain breaks, and hence we are playing. We need to bowl well and need to keep our nerves. Roelof is recovering well. But he is not playing today alongside Timm. Logan van Beek and Shariz Ahmed come in."
Netherlands won the toss and opt to bowl first.
"Bit of overcast conditions. From the River End, it is 60m and 66m to either side of the squares, while straight boundaries are very long. This looks like a solid track. It should help the batters. No grass coverage. Since there is a bit of overcast conditions, the ball should be swinging both ways. This is the ground where the least amount of spin is on offer. This ground offers just 1.3 degrees of turn."
Happy Diwali folks. We are still not over what happened last night. What a match, what a knock by Virat Kohli. Today, we have two more matches and let's start with the first one between Bangladesh and Netherlands at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart. Stay tuned for the updates.
