KOLKATA: Bangladesh had only themselves to blame as they suffered their fifth defeat on the trot in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup, going down to the Netherlands by 87 runs at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday.
In spite of finding half of their side back in the hut for just 107 inside 27 overs, the Dutch managed to put up 229 runs due to some sloppy fielding by Bangladesh. Although not a tall task, some shoddy batting saw Bangladesh cave in for 149 runs in 42.2 overs. With two points from six games, Bangladesh are all but out of the World Cup. Although the Dutch too might not progress from here, they can leave the World Cup stage with head held high.
