Bangladesh vs Netherlands prediction

It’s likely that a good batting surface will greet Bangladesh and Netherlands based on what we’ve seen already at Edgbaston in this T20 World Cup. But these are two teams who do lack quality across all departments compared to other nations competing in this tournament. But that only makes this a more exciting contest with it being tougher to predict.

Instead, the smart move may be to focus on a specific player. Sterre Kalis is an experienced campaigner when it comes to domestic cricket in England, currently playing for Yorkshire. But she was previously on loan at Warwickshire, so knows all about Edgbaston and how to play on this ground. A key batter for Netherlands, back Kalis to strike 20+ runs here.
