Cricket World Cup 2023: Netherlands Thrash Bangladesh By 87 Runs
A clinical bowling effort complemented skipper Scott Edwards' gritty half-century as Netherlands once again punched above their weight to secure a handsome 87-run win over Bangladesh in the World Cup in Kolkata on Saturday. Edwards overcame an edgy start to score a second World Cup fifty and take them to a modest 229 all out after they opted to bat on a fresh Eden wicket hosting its first match of the global showpiece. Bangladesh found themselves 'at home' with the 15,000-odd crowd strongly rooting for them to revive their campaign after losing four games on the trot.
