Bangladesh 11 vs Netherlands- 1st T20I, Netherlands Tour of Bangladesh 2025:
Openers: Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim
Bangladesh would like to keep up the good work they did in the last series against Pakistan, which they ended up winning 2-1, and win the first of the three matches against the Netherlands
The hosts will start as favorites to win the series, but shouldn't be complacent going into the series opener.
The Litton Das-led side will have to put their best foot forward, as the visitors can cause an upset or two like they did against South Africa.
A lot will depend on how the team will bat against a fairly potent bowling lineup that the Netherlands possesses.
If the home team is able to string together a strong performance with the bat, then they will have high chances of coming out on top in the first match of the series.
The onus will be on the opening duo of Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan to get the team off to a solid start in the first six overs.
Both batters are known for their aggressive strokeplay against the new ball and would like to play in the same manner.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Litton Das (c & wk), Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain
As far as the middle order is concerned, it will also have to take the responsibility and build on the platform provided by the openers.
The team will look up to captain Litton Das, who will be supported by Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, and Jaker Ali, all of whom are in good form.
Other than the form of the top six batters, another big advantage that Bangladesh has heading into the first match is the depth in the batting.
The likes of Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain are more than capable with the bat, which stretches the team's batting till number eight
Bowlers: Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman
If we talk about Bangladesh's bowling lineup, it has been in great form in the last couple of series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan, respectively.
The bowlers were on top of their game, especially against Pakistan, and that is he reason why the selectors have decided to stick with the same bowling combination that played the last series, with only one or two changes.
As was the case in the last series, the team's fast bowling department will be handled by Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, and Tanzim Hasan Tamim.
The trio was on target in the series against Pakistan and will be expected to replicate the same performance in the first T20I against the Netherlands.
As far as Bangladesh's spin bowling goes, it will be taken care of by Mahedi Hasan and Rishad Hossain.
The home team will have five proper bowling options and will look to create pressure on the opposition by picking wickets at regular intervals in the opening match of the series to restrict the opposition to a below-par total.
