We are moments away from the first T20I game at this venue for over a decade. However, before that, the players from both sides make their way out to the middle and line up for their respective national anthems. It will be Netherlands' first followed by the national anthem of Bangladesh.

0.0 : Done with the pre-match formalities! It is an early start here in Kingstown, but there is a decent crowd in, and they are making a lot of noise as well. We can see the Netherlands players spread out and take their respective field positions. Tanzid Hasan and Najmul Hossain Shanto are the two openers for Bangladesh. Vivian Kingma has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...
0.3 : Vivian Kingma to Tanzid Hasan, Leg bye! A length ball on middle, it lands and nips in. Tanzid Hasan with a wild swing to start but fails to hit it cleanly. It rolls off the pads to point for a leg bye. Bangladesh are underway.

1.2 : Aryan Dutt to Najmul Hossain Shanto, OUT! GONE! This is not good match-awarness from Shanto. There is a slip in place, the ball is holding in the surface.

A concussion protocol is going on. Tanzid Hasan looks fine.

Hridoy fell, Mahmudullah fell but Shakib Al Hasan showed his experience and stu
Netherlands looked off the radar today! The seamers in particular failed to execute the plans. They either bowled wide outside off or down the leg side.

0.0 : A crucial victory for Bangladesh! It was a professional performance from them and this means that, they are one step closer to the Super-8 stage now.

This result also means that the Lankans are officially out of this World Cup.

It was the pair of Vikramjit and Sybrand Engelbrecht that steadied the ship for them with a crucial partnership but the former departed just as when he was starting to look dangerous. Then skipper Scott Edwards took responsibility and supported Sybrand Engelbrecht who was founding the boundaries at his will. They got them in a solid position but then lost two wickets in the same over
Bangladesh, on the other hand, have managed to defend this total but they did have a scare in the middle overs. They started well with Taskin Ahmed and Tanzim Hasan Sakib getting rid of both the openers early. Mahmudullah was called upon for one over and got a crucial breakthrough as well. However, it was their tall leggie, Rishad Hossain who made the difference in the end.

Right then, that is it from this game where Bangladesh get the better of Netherlands for the third time in World Cups.
