The Netherlands men's cricket team is set for a historic tour of Bangladesh from August 26 to September 3, 2025, marking their first-ever bilateral series on Bangladeshi soil.
This tour includes a three-match T20 International series against Bangladesh, providing both teams with essential preparation ahead of major upcoming tournaments.

The Dutch squad will arrive in Bangladesh on August 26, followed by three days of training in Sylhet from August 27 to 29. All three T20I matches will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, a venue known for its enthusiastic cricket fans.
1st T20I: August 30, 2025, at 6:00 PM local time
2nd T20I: September 1, 2025, at 6:00 PM local time
3rd T20I: September 3, 2025, at 6:00 PM local time
This series serves a dual purpose: for Bangladesh, it's part of their final preparations for the Asia Cup starting September 9, while for the Netherlands, it is a valuable opportunity to gain international experience and fine-tune their game. Notably, the Netherlands last visited Bangladesh during the 2014 ICC T20 World Cup but have never played a bilateral series there before.
Historically, Bangladesh leads the head-to-head T20I record between the two teams, with four wins out of five encounters, including a recent victory at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024. The upcoming matches promise competitive cricket and an exciting clash between the two sides.
The European side has grown over the last decade or so, while the Tigers are extremely strong on home soil. Bangladesh will play the series as a preparatory rehearsal ahead of the Asia Cup, where they have been grouped with Sri Lanka, Afghanistan and Hong Kong. The Dutch, on the other hand, recently qualified for the 2026 T20 World Cup along with Italy.
Although there is no confirmation so far, the Bangladesh vs Netherlands T20I series is likely to be live streamed in India via Fancode app and website.
