A clinical bowling effort complemented skipper Scott Edwards' gritty half-century as Netherlands once again punched above their weight to secure a handsome 87-run win over Bangladesh in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at the Eden Gardens on Saturday. Edwards overcame an edgy start to score a second World Cup fifty and take them to a modest 229 all out after they opted to bat on a fresh Eden wicket hosting its first match of the global showpiece. Bangladesh found themselves 'at home' with the 15,000-odd crowd strongly rooting for them to revive their campaign after losing four games on the trot. But their batters once again came up with an insipid show as they were unable to cope with the extra bounce as the Netherlands bowlers, led by Paul van Meekeren (7.2-0-23-4), aced the conditions beautifully to bundle them out for 142 in 42.2 overs.
