In one of the most memorable World Cups for the lower-ranked sides, The Netherlands recorded its second upset win, outsmarting Bangladesh by 87 runs on Saturday to lift the game’s popularity back home.
Captain Scott Edwards’ determined half-century and Paul van Meekeren’s four-wicket haul were the highlights of a fine Dutch show that disheartened thousands of green shirts, including from those across the border, at Bangladesh’s second home — the Eden Gardens.
Batting first, the Netherlands managed 229 and restricted Bangladesh to 142 on a slow track.
