🏏Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #28: BD vs NED 28 Oct 🏏 - Page 31

Paul van Meekeren | Player of the Match: Pretty special day. We’ve said earlier we want to go till the semis, and for that we need to win games. Very happy with the way we bounced back against Australia. At the halfway stage, 230-240 would have been par we reckoned. Aryan Dutt and van Beek kept things tight in the powerplay. We’ve been working on our fielding, every training session we do 20 minutes of fielding drills. It was an all round performance, pretty tough to pick a Man of the Match. Scott Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht got a bit of momentum for us by building that partnership. Pure team performance tonight.

Shakib Al Hasan: I thought we bowled very well. We should have restricted them to 160-170. We have been very poor with the bat throughout the tournament. This is as bad as it gets. It is very difficult from here. We need to take this on our chin. Throughout this tournament we have been struggling. Not sure what's going on the minds. Very unlike the Bangladesh team. The fans have been supporting us through our ups and downs.

Scott Edwards: I think it was easy to be fair. We only had two days off. We were straight into travelling and into our plans. We were saying if we could get 220 plus, we were in the game. The bottom order guys got us to a very competitive total. The bowlers have been awesome. Aryan, Colin, Bas everyone. We have been superb on the field. Bit of everything. The system is getting more professional in Netherlands. We train incredibly hard. We always spoke at the start of the tournament that we aim for the semis. That remains our goal but we have a few tough games coming up.

Finally England at 10th position

The countries they once ruled are now standing on its head

Bangladesh more likely are out of the tournament. Yes, mathematically they still can qualify. But this would be a bitter pill to swallow. They would have fancied a win here. But Netherlands have been a good team in this tourney barring the massacre they had to suffer against the Aussies. Netherlands once again have reiterated how well they can function at this level. They just need more nurturing. They just need to rub shoulders with the best on a more consistent basis and we might as well have a very solid team from the land of windmills. Cheesy it may sound but the land of cheese - Netherlands - have instilled the 'Oranje Dutch fever' in the minds of their opponents. SA and Bangladesh fell prey to it. Others don't want to encounter it.
