Chittagong : Once again the Bangladesh spinners did the job for the team by taking up the wickets against the Netherlands team. In this slow pitch the ball didnt turn much, but Netherlands batsman couldn't make use of this oppurtunity because of their lack of experience and skills. Bangladesh team was in complete control of the game. They never gave even a single chance for the Netherlands team to bounce back. Netherlands team batsman were all-out for after setting up an target of 161.
Ten Doeschate was the only batsman who scored an half century from the Netherlands team, He remained unbeaten in the crease even though he came to bat at the 4th position. Ten Doeschate scored (53 runs from 71 balls) which consisted of two boundaries and a sixer. Cooper scored (29 runs from 41 balls).
Abdur Razzak was the top wicket taker by taking three wickets with an very good economy rate of 2.90, while Shakib, Hossain, Suhrawadi took an wicket each.
Bangladesh team had a bad start as Iqbal was bowled by Mudassar in the first over of the Bangladesh Innings. Iqbal returned to the pavilion without even scoring a single run. Imrul Kayes batted well, he scored (73 runs from 113 balls) Shahriar Nafees scored (37 from 60 balls).
Netherlands bowlers bowled well, they gave their best till the last ball of the match and also fielded brilliantly, the catch of Shakib Al Hasan taken by ten Doeschate was one of the best catch in this tournament. Cooper was the top wicket taker who took two wickets, while Bukhari took an wicket.
