Bangladesh vs Netherlands, 27th Match, Group D - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Crucial result for Bangladesh who will be through to the next round with a win against Nepal in their final league game. Sri Lanka are officially out, and Netherlands need a miracle to qualify. That's all we have from here. This is Sagar Chawla signing off on behalf of Venky and Abhinand Raghavendran. Goodbye!

Shanto: Boys showed a lot of character. Was a very important match for us and everyone was calm on the field. He was struggling in last couple of innings, but he showed his skill (talking about Shakib). We didn't know how the conditions would behave. Very hard for the batters but they did a great job. Very good outfield and the pitch also looked good. There was some uneven bounce with the new ball but that can happen. We all know how capable Mustafizur is. Rishad bowled well under pressure. I think all the bowlers did a good job.

Edwards: Credit to Bangladesh. I thought they played really well. We just weren't up to it in all three departments. They got wickets in hand. We didn't execute which was a shame. It was probably 10-15 runs more than we would've liked. We obviously knew they've got some quality bowlers at the death and tried to get some runs in the middle. He's been sensational for us for a few years now (Dutt). In general, he's always been one of our best T20 bowlers. Just felt these conditions would suit him. It's out of our hands now. Will focus on playing a good game against SL. Will see what happens from there.

Shakib Al Hasan | Player of the Match: It was important for someone from the top four to bat throughout the innings. Happy with the way I contributed with the bat. It wasn't an easy wicket at the start of the innings. We held our nerves, put on a decent total. I won't say it was a winning total, but it was a challenging total. Bowlers chipped in perfectly, especially the Fizz and Rishad. Those two bowlers took the game away from Netherlands. Hardly any international game has been played in the last 4-5 years, so we didn't what's a good score. That's why we had to keep our wickets in hand and see where we are at maybe 14-15th over and then decide how far we can go. It was a decent total, we put the runs on the board. 160 in a WC game is always tricky and that proved. They had their moments, at the 12th over, they were 80 or 90 for three. Ten runs an over in this wicket, wind going one way, it wasn't easy for us to restrict them. Credit should go to all the bowlers the way they bowled, they held their nerves. (On batting with neck braces while practising) I was just practising something.

14:08 Local Time, 18:08 GMT, 23:38 IST: Bangladesh are nearly through to the next round. Excellent turnaround from their bowlers in the last six overs. The match was in the balance at that stage with Netherlands needing 56 off 36 with 7 wickets in hand, but things fell apart for them with the wicket of Engelbrecht who was looking really good in the middle. Rishad Hossain, who got some punishment in his first over, came back beautifully and played a key role in turning the balance towards Bangladesh. His legbreak to dismiss de Leede, after having got rid of Engelbrecht, was a thing of beauty. The Fizz then came to the party, making the batters dance to the turn of his off-cutters and making it hard to get bat on ball, let alone score heavily. Eventually, what seemed like a close game turned into a comprehensive win for Shanto's team.
