Netherlands vs Bangladesh: What Captains Said

Scott Edwards | Netherlands Captain: "We'll have a bat first, wicket looks good. Hopefully, we can score quick. The good thing is it is a quick turnaround, so we need to leave the loss behind. We've set high expectations on ourselves, we need to just focus on the games to come. Barring the last game, we've been playing a lot of good cricket. Two changes - Shariz coming in for Roelof."

Shakib Al Hasan | Bangladesh Captain: "We have to do better with batting and bowling, especially in the powerplay. If we can do that, the momentum will be with us. We've got a lot of Bangladeshis who have travelled across the border, plus in Kolkata we speak the same language, have a similar culture. We don't mind bowling, pitch may help spinners. Two changes in the team - Shak Mahedi and Taskin in for Nasum and Hasan Mahmud."

Eden Gardens Kolkata Pitch Report

The Eden Gardens in Kolkata will be seeing its first World Cup 2023 match today. Although the pitch is unknown, we can expect it to be a good one to bat. We may see the ball coming slower in the latter half, but dew is a massive factor in this part of the world around this time. Hence, Bowling first will be the perfect decision after winning the toss.
