BAN vs NED 2025: Match Prediction, 2nd T20I - Who will win today's match between BAN vs NED?

The international action continues in the beginning of the month, as Bangladesh (BAN) are slated to host the Netherlands (NED) for the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series on Monday, September 1 at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet.

Bangladesh have been on a roll when it comes to winning games and more importantly the series in their recent outings. They came into the series on the back of a thumping 2-1 win against Pakistan in the recently-concluded tour of the UAE. The Bangla Tigers will certainly not mind clinching yet another series with a win in the upcoming contest.

The Netherlands experienced their first-ever T20I match on the Bangladeshi soil, and tried to assess the conditions well. However, the Bangladeshi bowling attack seemed to be too hot to handle for the Dutch batting unit. The Scott Edwards-led side will enter into the contest with a lot of learning and the confidence of doing better to draw levels and keep the series alive.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Max O'Dowd

The ace batter Max O'Dowd got off to a great start in the series opener on Saturday. Opening the batting alongside Vikramjit Singh, O'Dowd smashed a crucial 23-run knock at the top of the order. He was also the second-highest run-getter in what turned out to be a low-scoring contest. With the game on Monday posing a fresh challenge, the Dutch opener will back himself to be among runs against the mighty Bangladeshi attack.

Probable Best Bowler: Taskin Ahmed

Star bowler Taskin Ahmed looked sensational in his four-over spell in the first match against the Netherlands. With his accurate line and lengths, Taskin not only controlled the flow of runs from his end, but also bagged a magnificent four-wicket haul in the first innings, which helped the hosts restrict the Scott Edwards-led side to a total that was chased by Bangladesh with 39 balls and eight wickets intact.
