T20 World Cup: Bangladesh set 145 victory target for Netherlands
Despite having a good start, Bangladesh only managed to give the Netherlands a 145-run target in their first match of the T20 World Cup 2022 against the Netherlands in Hobert.
Afif Hossain posted the highest score, 38 runs off 27 balls, with two fours and two sixes. But he was dismissed when he needed to press the accelerator. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 25, Soumya Sarkar posted 14, and Mosaddek Hossain scored 20 for the Tigers.
Bangladesh lost five wickets while going from 43 to 76. That was the best part of the match so far for the Netherlands, who were quite impressive in their bowling. They took wickets when they needed them most, and thus, Bangladesh failed to have a challenging total.
Soumya and Shanto managed a good start, posting 43 runs in their opening partnership. But they departed in a span of seven balls. Right after the openers departed, Bangladesh lost two more quick wickets as Liton Das and Shakib Al Hasan fell for nine and seven respectively.
After the 9.3 overs, the rain came in and the players left the field. The match resumed after the conditions improved.

In the first five overs, Bangladesh posted 43 for none. But on the first ball of the sixth over bowled by Paul van Meekeren, Bangladesh lost Soumya for 14 off 13 balls. On the first ball of the seventh over, Bangladesh lost Najmul Hossain Shanto as well, who was playing well.
Shanto made 25 off 20 balls with four fours. Shanto looked to sweep towards the short leg boundary against the spin, but he could not make it properly. Van Beek took an easy catch at midwicket.
Liton looked shaky from the start of his innings. He played a few loose shots before falling prey to another loose shot. It was a short ball from Van Been. Liton tried to clear through the off region but ended up with a loose shot.
Shakib fell prey to Shariz Ahmed. The left-handed batter tried to play a big shot, but De Leede took an outstanding catch at deep midwicket. Mosaddek Hossain smashed 20 off just 12 balls, which helped Bangladesh to get a total. That might be good one of the Tigers can bowl well.
For the Netehrands, who won the toss and opted to bowl first, Paul van Meekeren and Bas de Leede took two wickets each.
Bangladesh have never played a T20 match in Australia before this one. But will they be able to defend a 145-run target they set for the Netherlands? The Dutch side will surely pose a strong challenge to continue their good run in the T20 World Cup 2022 that started well in the first round.
Bangladesh XI: Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Liton Das, Shakib Al Hasan, Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman

Bangladesh Kabaddi Federation (BKF) from the very beginning took the initiative to arrange franchise based men's kabaddi league, but it was possible due to various reasons and finally they decided to organize Women's Kabaddi in next January.
Meanwhile, BKF formed a strong committee to arrange the Franchise Women's Kabaddi League with Federation's joint secretary and additional DIG (Development) of Bangladesh Police Gazi M Mozammel Haque as chairman and Federation treasurer Arif Mihir as the member secretary.
The committee in its last meeting on Saturday, finalized the league schedule and format.

Six Icon players are: Bristi Biswas, Rupali Akhter, Hafiza Akhter, Sharmin Sultana, Dishamoni Sarkar and Smriti Akhter.
T20 World Cup: Rain poses threat as Bangladesh to take on Netherlands tomorrow
As Bangladesh are all set to take on the Netherlands to start their T20 World Cup 2022 campaign, a forecast of heavy rain poses a significant threat to the fate of the match.
According to media reports coming from Hobert, neither Bangladesh nor Netherlands were able to utilize their respective practice sessions due to heavy rain, and the same could happen to the match.
Bangladesh came to this year’s T20 World Cup with their fans not hoping for something memorable. Over the last couple of years, Bangladesh played 43 matches and won only 15 of them. Their most recent wins came against the UAE in a two-match series.
Ahead of the main event, Bangladesh played a warm-up match against Afghanistan and they suffered a similar fate — a defeat without offering any kind of effective resistance.
Just a few weeks before the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) appointed Sridharan Sriram as the T20 consultant of Bangladesh. The former Indian cricketer has done quite a few experiments with the team in the Asia Cup and in the Tri-Series in New Zealand.
After much experiment, Sridharan and the team management have done two last-minute changes to the World Cup squad adding Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam, who were actually drafted as standby players, replacing underperforming Sabbir Rahman and Mohammad Saifuddin.

Before Taking the field in the World Cup, the opening pair has been the main point of concern for Bangladesh. According to the hints the team management has provided so far, Soumya Sarkar and Liton Das are most likely to open the innings for the Tigers.
The Tigers might go with three pacers — Taskin Ahmed, Mosatafizur Rahman and either of Hasan Mahmud and Shoriful Islam — and two spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz.
While the threat of rain is still looming large, Bangladesh Captain Shakib said that Tigers are looking forward to having a great match against the pumped-up Netherlands who have done well in the first round of the World Cup.
“We had a very good preparation,” Shakib said in the pre-match press meet. “The four matches in New Zealand (in the Tri-Series) will help us, especially here in Hobart where the weather is a little similar to Christchurch. So, everyone is ready and excited for the match tomorrow.”
For the Netherlands, Bas de Leede, the right-arm pacer, has done well in the first round taking seven wickets in three matches. He can offer a tough challenge to the bigger teams in the Super 12s.
The match is scheduled to begin at 10am (Bangladesh time) tomorrow. Now, if the weather permits, the match is going to be a good chance for Bangladesh who have been searching for a win in the Super 12s of T20 World Cups for a long time.
T20 World Cup: India seal a nail-biter with Kohli leading the way v Pakistan
With Virat Kohli showing his class once again, India sealed a nail-biter against Pakistan in their T20 World Cup opener on Monday in Melbourne.
In the last five overs, India needed 60 runs to chase down the target of 160 runs. Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah conceded 12 runs in the 16th and 17th overs. But in the 18th over, Virat hit three fours off Shaheen Afridi and the target came down to 31 in the last two overs.
Haris conceded 15 in the 19th over with two consecutive sixes off fifth and sixth deliveries by Kohli.
In the last over, India needed 16 runs with six wickets in hand. Mohammad Nawaz scalped the wicket of Hardik Pandya in the first ball. In the next two, he conceded only three runs, but off the fourth delivery, Virat hit a six. The fifth one was a no-ball that was also smashed for a six by Virat.
Eventually, India sealed the match by four wickets with Virat remaining unbeaten for 82 off 53 balls.
For Pakistan, Haris and Nawaz scalped two wickets each, but their efforts went in vain as Pakistan failed to hold their nerve at the end of the match.
Earlier, Pakistan batted first in this match after losing the toss. Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed hit a fifty each for them.
Apart from them, none of the other Pakistan batters was able to offer some challenges to Indian bowlers.
Babar Azam suffered a duck while playing a straight delivery from Arshdeep Singh who also sent back the other opener Rizwan Ahmed for only four. It was a rare failure from both of Pakistan's openers.
For India, Arshdeep and Hardik Pandya bagged three wickets. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami took one wicket each.
In reply, India lost three wickets inside the powerplay. They lost the fourth wicket in 31 runs. And after that, Virat and Hardik came up with a match-winning partnership of 113 off 78 balls with Hardik scoring 40 off 37 balls.
With this win, India continued to dominate Pakistan in the ICC events.
