The pitch conditions I saw, it is very difficult for a team like Netherlands to score close to 150 on this pitch. And they probably won't be able to do it. Almost every bowler in Bangladesh is bowling very controlled. Especially Taskin Ahmed took three wickets for just 15 runs in 3 overs. Also, Mehedi, Mustafiz and Shariful's bowling is also very controlled. After 17 overs, Netherlands managed to score 104 runs after losing 6 batsmen. The team managed to score at an average of only 6.11 runs per over. It is also unlikely that they will score 30 runs in the last 3 overs. Netherlands will probably give a target of around 130. I don't think it is enough for a win.

Netherlands scored 32 runs in the last 3 overs. I would not call 136 runs a bad total. Because I have seen the batsmen struggle to stay at the crease on this pitch. It is very difficult to score big runs. So if the Netherlands bowlers can bowl well from the start of the innings, they have a chance of winning. The performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is always erratic. So if the Netherlands can bowl well, it will be very difficult for Bangladesh to win. But the Netherlands squad also lacks experienced bowlers. And this is why it can be said that Bangladesh will not lose the home series against the Netherlands with a target of 137 runs.

Although 136 runs is not a bad score, today the Netherlands may not be able to win with the target of 136 runs. Meanwhile, Bangladesh has already scored 92 runs in 9 overs for the loss of one wicket, so based on today's match, it can definitely be said that Bangladesh will win, moreover, at that moment Bangladesh needs 45 runs from 66 balls to win, which Bangladesh may be able to fulfill very easily. I was predicting the victory of the Bangladesh team in advance today, maybe my prediction may be correct today. Anyway, in the end, we wait and enjoy the game and see how Bangladesh defeats the Netherlands and wins.
