BAN vs NED 2nd T20I Match Preview and Team Analysis
Bangladesh
Bangladesh enters the 2nd T20I with momentum after an emphatic 8-wicket victory in the series opener. Taskin Ahmed starred with the ball, taking 4 wickets, while Litton Das’s fluent 54* ensured a smooth chase. The Tigers will now aim to wrap up the series at home.
Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon provide a strong platform at the top, with Litton Das and Towhid Hridoy anchoring the middle. Saif Hassan and Jaker Ali bring explosive batting depth down the order.
In bowling, Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman form a lethal pace duo. Their spin trio of Mahedi Hasan, Saif Hassan, and Rishad Hossain will once again exploit the Sylhet conditions.

Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Parvez Hossain Emon, Litton Das (c & wk), Saif Hassan, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Shoriful Islam
Netherlands
The Netherlands showed sparks in the 1st T20I but couldn’t maintain momentum, collapsing to 136/8 before losing by 8 wickets. Max O’Dowd and Teja Nidamanuru offered some resistance, but the middle order faltered.
For a comeback, skipper Scott Edwards must lead with the bat, supported by O’Dowd and Vikramjit Singh. All-rounders Teja Nidamanuru and Tim Pringle add balance, but the Dutch need much-improved batting to challenge Bangladesh.
Bowling-wise, Kyle Klein and Paul van Meekeren will spearhead the pace attack, while Aryan Dutt and Shariz Ahmed handle spin duties. Pringle’s all-round skills will be vital in Sylhet.
Key Players: Scott Edwards, Max O’Dowd, Paul van Meekeren, Teja Nidamanuru
Predicted Playing XI (NED):
Max O’Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Noah Croes, Shariz Ahmad, Kyle Klein, Tim Pringle, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Daniel Doram
