Winning skipper Scott Edwards speaks
Scott Edwards: I think it was easy to be fair. We only had two days off. We were straight into travelling and into our plans. We were saying if we could get 220 plus, we were in the game. The bottom order guys got us to a very competitive total. The bowlers have been awesome. We have been superb on the field. Bit of everything. The system is getting more professional in Netherlands. We train incredibly hard. We always spoke at the start of the tournament that we aim for the semis. That remains our goal but we have a few tough games coming up.
Losing skipper Shakib Al Hasan speaks
Shakib Al Hasan: I thought we bowled very well. We should have restricted them to 160-170. We have been very poor with the bat throughout the tournament. This is as bad as it gets. It is very difficult from here. We need to take this on our chin. Throughout this tournament we have been struggling. Not sure what's going on the minds. Very unlike the Bangladesh team. The fans have been supporting us through our ups and downs.
That was a special victory...!!!

POTM speaks
Paul van Meekeren (POTM): "Pretty special. We said we wanted to go for the semis, you need to win games. Very happy with how we bounced back after Australia. We were pretty confident. At the halfway mark of our innings we thought 230-240 [par score] and we got there. Dutt and van Beek kept it very tight in the first ten overs. Every training we come in and do 20 minutes of fielding. Bassy [Bas de Leede] got a good throw at the stumps tonight. Hard to pick an individual performance. Pure team performance."
Paul van Meekeren - That was special
Paul van Meekeren, the pacer, has been adjudged as Player of the Match. He took four wickets for just 23 runs, and really ran through the Bangladesh's batting line-up tonight. He seems delighted with the win and his performance.
Never write off the DUTCH

Game over!!!!
Wow, the Netherlands have managed to pull off their second upset in this World Cup. The final wicket falls. They win by 87 runs, and it has been a historic win for sure. The bowling, the batting, the fielding – everything has been on point for them in today's game.
They move two positions up on the points table with four points to their name. What a game, what a win!!!!

Beauty
What a ball to finally get the ninth man out!!!
Mustafizur Rahman has fallen prey to a pearler, as Colin Ackermann gets his first for the night. Mustafizur b Ackermann 20(35) [4s-2 6s-1]
After 42 overs, BAN are 142 for the loss of nine wickets. Shoriful Islam comes to the crease at no.11.
NED targeting the body
The Dutch bowlers are bowling a lot of beamers, as many wides have been conceded.
40 overs done
BANGLADESH are 140 for the loss of eight wickets, as the final ten overs drama begins. They need 90 more runs to win from 60 balls. Will this game go down to the wire?
Six
Effortlessly hit by Mustafizur Rahman, as he sends Ackermann packing for a maximum. Bangladesh won't mind adding a few more runs, to be honest.
