Full Match Infoboxes & Scorecards

ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 – Chattogram

This fixture marked the first ICC World Cup meeting between the two sides. Played on a home pitch in Chattogram, Bangladesh, had every structural advantage – conditions, crowd, and familiarity.

Imrul Kayes’ unbeaten 73 anchored Bangladesh’s chase confidently, with the hosts completing the target with nearly nine overs to spare.

ICC World T20 2016 – Dharamsala

The ICC World Twenty20 2016 encounter at Dharamsala is the most individually dominant performance in the entire T20I head-to-head record.

With Bangladesh at risk after Shakib fell for 5 and Mushfiqur for a golden duck, Tamim Iqbal’s 83* off 58 balls turned the match. The Netherlands needed 19 off the final two overs with wickets intact, but were denied by Bangladesh’s death bowling.

ICC T20 World Cup 2022 – Hobart

Bangladesh defended 144/8, keeping the Netherlands to 135 all out on a competitive Hobart pitch. The 9-run win kept Bangladesh alive in the Super 12 stage.

ICC ODI World Cup 2023 – Eden Gardens, Kolkata

This was the defining upset of the Netherlands national cricket team vs Bangladesh national cricket team timeline – and one of the biggest shocks of the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup.

Van Meekeren’s 4/23 removed Shanto, Shakib, and Mushfiqur in rapid succession, reducing Bangladesh from 50/1 to 70/6. Scott Edwards’ 68 off 89 balls had already given the Netherlands a total. Bangladesh’s middle order never looked capable of chasing. The 87-run margin is the largest winning margin in the entire rivalry.

ICC T20 World Cup 2024 – Kingstown, St Vincent

Rishad Hossain’s 3/33 on a sluggish Kingstown surface stalled the Dutch chase at 86/2, triggering a collapse to 100/5 across overs 10–15 that the Netherlands never recovered from. Bangladesh’s 25-run win supported their Super 8 qualification push in Group D.

Netherlands Tour of Bangladesh 2025 – Sylhet

The 2025 home series allowed Bangladesh to dominate on familiar turf, and they did exactly that – winning both completed matches by comprehensive margins.

In the 1st T20I, Taskin Ahmed’s 4/28 contained the Netherlands to 136/8. Bangladesh cleared the target with 6.3 overs to spare. The 2nd T20I followed the same blueprint – Nasum Ahmed’s left-arm spin (3/21) restricted the Dutch before Bangladesh’s top order chased comfortably.

Why Bangladesh Dominates the Netherlands in T20Is

The Three Patterns Behind Bangladesh’s 5–1 T20I Record

Bangladesh’s dominance in the Netherlands vs Bangladesh T20I head-to-head is not random – three clear patterns emerge across every T20I victory.

First: Spin bowling wins the middle overs. In Dharamsala (2016), Shakib Al Hasan and Al-Amin Hossain combined for 4 wickets between overs 8–17 after Tamim set a competitive total. In Kingstown (2024), Rishad Hossain’s leg-spin removed three wickets across overs 10–15 on a sluggish surface, turning a manageable chase into a collapse. In Sylhet (2025), Nasum Ahmed’s left-arm angle (3/21) and Taskin Ahmed’s early pace (4/28) capped the Netherlands at 136/8. Bangladesh’s multi-format spin depth – wrist spin, left-arm spin, off-spin – consistently finds answers on slower pitches.

Second, Bangladesh’s home conditions are extreme. Both Sylhet wins came by 8 and 9 wickets – the Netherlands scoring totals below 137 in both matches. The Sylhet International Cricket Stadium’s slow, turning surface creates a challenge far removed from European conditions.

Third: The Netherlands’ only T20I win – by 1 wicket in The Hague in 2012 – has not been replicated in 13 years. Every ICC T20I tournament encounter has gone to Bangladesh. The gap in T20I tournament experience between these two sides is significant: Bangladesh have played over 120 T20Is; the Netherlands have played fewer than 50.

The Netherlands’ ODI Advantage: What the Data Actually Shows

How the Netherlands Lead 2–1 in ODIs Against Bangladesh

The ODI chapter of the Netherlands national cricket team vs Bangladesh national cricket team timeline shows a different picture from the T20Is. The Netherlands hold a 2–1 ODI advantage, and both their wins came on conditions that suited seam bowling and rewarded disciplined line-and-length bowling over spin.

In Glasgow (2010), overcast Scottish skies and a seaming track produced a 6-wicket Netherlands win – conditions where their pace attack thrives, and Bangladesh’s spin reliance is neutralised.

At Eden Gardens in October 2023, Paul van Meekeren’s 4/23 dismantled Bangladesh’s batting order. He removed Shanto, Shakib (for 2), and Mushfiqur (for 1) inside six overs, reducing Bangladesh to 70/6. Scott Edwards’ 68 off 89 balls had already given the Dutch a defendable 229 on a flat ODI pitch. The 87-run margin was the Netherlands’ biggest-ever win in international cricket against a top-eight nation and one of the most complete Dutch performances at any ICC World Cup.
