Netherlands captain Scott Edwards won the all-important toss and elected to bat against Bangladesh in the ODI World Cup fixture at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on October 28 (Saturday). Netherlands made two changes to their playing XI that featured in the previous match. Shariz Ahmad and Wesley Barresi replaced Teja Nidamanuru and Roelof van der Merwe. For Bangladesh, Taskin Ahmed returned to the playing XI in place of Hasan Mahmud while Mahedi Hasan replaced Nasum Ahmed.
Netherlands Playing XI: Vikramjit Singh, Max ODowd, Wesley Barresi, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards(w/c), Bas de Leede, Sybrand Engelbrecht, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren
Bangladesh Playing XI: Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam
Both Bangladesh and the Netherlands have identical records heading into the contest. Both teams have played five matches in the ongoing tournament so far and each have one victory and four defeats. Bangladesh will fancy themselves to get a win against the Dutch but the Men in Orange are no cakewalk either. If Scott Edwards' men click as a unit, they have the ammunition to stun Bangladesh.
