The 17th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between Bangladesh and Netherlands on Monday, 24th October 2022 at Bellerive Oval, Hobart.

Bangladesh had lost recent five T20 matches in a row. They lost four matches in the tri-series which was held in New Zealand recently and they also their warm-up match. The form of Bangladesh is very poor these days and we think that they are going to struggle with batting and bowling against strong teams like India, South Africa, and Pakistan. The big problem of Bangladesh had been their opening pair. They had tested many players as openers but had not got a good combination. Remember that they had tried 12 different combinations in the previous 19 innings. They should go with the best opening batters to get a good opening start in these big matches.

Najmul Hossain Shanto had been a consistent opening batter for Bangladesh in some previous matches. This is a big question who will open the batting with Najmul Hossain Shanto? Some best players like Liton Das, Mahidy Hasan Miraz, and Soumya Sarkar are available in the squad and they should go with the best batter. We know that Mahidy Hasan Miraz open the batting inning for Bangladesh with Sabbir Rahman but failed to provide a good opening start. Shakib Al Hasan and Liton Das can’t be used as opening batters they are good in the middle order. Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan are also available in the lower batting order. The bowling unit of Bangladesh is good but we think that they are going to struggle in this tournament. Nasum Ahmed, Taskin Ahmed, and Shoriful Islam are key bowlers in the squad of Bangladesh. They can also use Soumya Sarkar, Mehidy Hasan, and Shakib Al Hasan as bowlers in the middle overs.

The Netherlands lost their previous match against Sri Lanka but their bowlers did very well and they will be confident for this match. The bowling unit of the Netherlands played the main role in each and every win for the team. They leaked 162 runs in 20 overs against Sri Lanka. van Meekeren was the most successful batter from their side who leaked 25 runs in four overs and picked up two wickets. Bas de Leede was the other bowler with two wickets to his name in three overs while he was charged with 31 runs. Fred Klaassen and van der Gugten picked one wicket each while van der Merwe and Tim Pringle were the bowlers who failed to pick any wicket.

Max ODowd had been a key batter for the Netherlands in this ICC T20 World Cup. He was good in the previous matches and we are sure that he will play a main role for the side in the next matches. Colin Ackerman and Tom Cooper are two other good batters in the squad of Netherlands. Roelof van der Merwe had a good record while playing at number five and we think that he will play at the same number in this match. Max ODowd was the most successful and highest run-scorer in the previous match. He scored 71 runs on 53 balls with the help of six boundaries and three huge sixes. He remained not out till 20th over. The skipper, Scott Edwards scored 21 runs.

Bangladesh had played just 3 matches against the Netherlands where they had won two while the Netherlands had won one match.

Bangladesh is overall a strong team as compared to the Netherlands at least on paper. According to our match prediction, Bangladesh is the favorite team who will win this match. There are many factors that make Bangladesh a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• Bangladesh is an experienced team than the Netherlands
• Bangladesh is struggling with the batting and bowling departments
• The Netherlands had a strong and young bowling unit
• Scott Edwards and Max ODowd are in good form for the Netherlands
• Bangladesh had lost five T20 matches in a row and they will be under pressure

Bangladesh is full of experienced and young players of the t20 foramt. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match for Bangladesh have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

Bangladesh has a 54% chance to win this match
Netherlands has a 46% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 17th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Bellerive Oval, Hobart. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 190 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Hobart is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
