Match Ended   
141/4 (19.1/20)
139/8 (20.0/20)
Bangladesh Women beat Netherlands Women by 6 wickets
That's all from this game - A blockbuster contest is coming up right here in Birmingham as India and Pakistan lock horns. The toss has already taken place, with India opting to bat first, and the stage is set for one of the biggest fixtures in world cricket. Switch tabs and join us for all the action. See you there!
The skipper of Bangladesh Women - Nigar Sultana is pleased with the way her side executed their plans. She says the side started really well with the ball, singling out Marufa Akter for delivering exactly what was expected of her. She also praises the rest of the bowling unit, particularly the spinners, and feels they achieved what they had set out to do in the first innings. On the chase, Nigar highlights the positive intent shown by Juairiya Ferdous, noting that the opener looked like she was enjoying herself in the middle, while Dilara Akter provided good support. She admits there was a bit of drama during the chase, but is delighted that Sharmin Akhter and Shorna Akter kept their composure to take the team over the line.
The captain of Netherlands Women - Babette de Leede admits that they weren't clinical in all departments. Mentions that they really didn't get going with the bat and lost too many wickets on the way. Adds that Bangladesh got off to a flier in the chase, with a few dropped catches not helping their cause either. On the positives, she points to their spinners bowling really well to get them back into the game, adding that they stayed in it till the last over and take away plenty of learning from the experience overall.
Time to hear from the captains...
Earlier in the game - After Bangladesh elected to bowl first, they struck at regular intervals, but Dutch skipper Babette de Leede held the innings together for her side. Babette fell at a crucial juncture, but despite her dismissal, the Netherlands found a way to reach 139. The late flourish with the bat gave them a bit of momentum and belief heading into their bowling effort, even if the total was slightly below what they would have ideally wanted.
A wobble, but no derailment - Chasing 140, Bangladesh were given the perfect platform by Juairiya Ferdous, whose positive approach at the top ensured they got off to a solid start. There was a brief wobble in the middle overs as they slipped from 67/0 to 85/4, allowing the Netherlands a way back into the contest. However, the early work done by Ferdous meant the task at hand was never overly daunting. It became a case of batting sensibly, and Bangladesh found calm heads in Shorna Akter and Sharmin Akhter. The pair ensured there were no further hiccups with an unbeaten 56-run stand to steer their side home.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH - Juairiya Ferdous has been given the award for her entertaining knock of 50 runs from 33 balls. Ferdous, on her approach, mentions that it's her first World Cup match and mentions that she saw the pitch was flat. And with the target being 140, they wanted to use the Powerplay fully as openers. About how she feels, Ferdous takes her time and says she cannot put into words how she is feeling right now and says it's a huge achievement for her. Adds that all the players in the squad have supported her. Ends by saying that she will continue to give her best in the next games.
Bangladesh get over the line - The Tigeresses are up and running in the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup. They have pulled off their highest successful run chase in the history of the tournament and have marked their first-ever international appearance in England with a memorable victory. It was a historic day for the Netherlands, who played their maiden game in the tournament. While the result did not go their way, they will take plenty of heart from the fight they showed with the ball.

FOUR! That will do it. Bangladesh Women win by 6 wickets. This is their third-highest successful run chase in Women's T20Is, as per the on-air commentators and their highest in the T20 World Cups. A special moment indeed for them and their joy knows no bounds. Tough luck for the Dutch women, who gave it their all but have to settle for a defeat in their maiden World Cup outing. Coming to the ball, Iris bowls it fuller and outside off. Shorna Akter get the front leg out of her way and smashes it over the mid off fielder for a boundary to get the job done for her team.
Down to the final over. The Dutch are in need of something really special, with Bangladesh needing 3 runs from 6 balls. Iris Zwilling to bowl.

Iris Zwilling To Sharmin Akhter
Bangladesh can breathe easy. Down leg by Iris, on a length. Sharmin Akhter shapes up to tickle it fine but misses. The ball seems to have grazed something before it went behind. A good take by Babette de Leede by staying low and moving to her left. The Dutch seemed to have heard something, and they take the review. However, there was no bat, confirmed by the UltraEdge.
Strangled down leg? Not given by the umpire and Babette de Leede has taken the review. There was a noise as the ball went through to the keeper. The UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat involved.

DRINKS BREAK. Bangladesh are still in a good position to get the job done, needing 39 runs from 36 balls. This has been an admirable fight from Netherlands, but another wicket here will really set panic in the Bangladesh camp, and pressure can do funny things. Shorna Akter and Sharmin Akhter are capable enough to bat throughout and will aim to do that without any hiccups. With that said, Frederique Overdijk will bowl after the break.

Frederique Overdijk To Sobhana Mostary OUT!
OUT! SOBHANA MOSTARY IS RUN OUT! Disaster for Bangladesh. Excellent piece of work from Frederique Overdijk. On a good length, on off. Mostary drops it with soft hands beside the strip on the leg side and sets off for the run. Overdijk moves across to her right on her follow-through and gets to the ball quickly. She turns around and scores a direct at the bowling end as Mostary puts in a desperate dive. No real excitement from the Dutch players as the third umpire is called into action. The replays find Sobhana to be short despite the dive, and Frederique's joy knows no bounds. Bangladesh require 55 runs from 48 balls.

Caroline de Lange To Nigar Sultana OUT!
OUT! BOWLED! De Lange strikes back-to-back and the Women in Orange are over the moon. Loops it above the eyeline of the batter. A full delivery on the stumps. Nigar leans forward, but does not move her feet at all. Looks to flick it but plays all around it as the ball dips. It beats the bat and crashes into the middle stump, and Nigar walks back without troubling the scorers. That's a big, big wicket as the Bangladeshi skipper is gone. Bangladesh Women are 67/2, needing 73 more runs.
The skipper, Nigar Sultana is in at number 3.

Caroline de Lange To Juairiya Ferdous OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! The Dutch finally get their first breakthrough. A flighted leg break on a good length outside off, and Ferdous backs away to slash hard at it to cut off the back foot. The shot lacks elevation and goes flatly, straight to Molkenboer at backward point, who takes a comfortable catch right on the edge of the ring. Fifty and out for Ferdous, but she has done her job quite nicely. Bangladesh Women are 67/1, chasing 140 runs.

Caroline de Lange To Juairiya Ferdous
SIX! FIFTY FOR FERDOUS! That's her first half-century in T20 World Cups and she gets there in 32 balls. A very entertaining knock so far. A tossed-up delivery on the stumps, and Ferdous gets right down to slog sweep it high in the leg side. The fielder patrolling the deep mid-wicket boundary leaps and gets both hands to it, but she cannot hold her balance and steps over the ropes, turning what could have been a catch into a six.

Isabel Van Der Woning To Juairiya Ferdous
FOUR! Beats the fielder! Back of a length, outside off. Juairiya Ferdous hits it off the back foot and clobbers it down the ground, over the bowler's head. Does not hit it off the middle, but has enough power to beat the chase of the mid off fielder.

Isabel Van Der Woning To Juairiya Ferdous
SIX! That is some shot! A slightly fuller delivery on the stumps, angling in. Juairiya Ferdous clears the front foot out of the way and launches it cleanly to the leg side. Manages to clear the deep mid-wicket fence for a six. 50 up for Bangladesh Women!

Isabel Van Der Woning To Dilara Akter
Overpitched, around off, Dilara Akter crunches it to deep cover for a single.
DRINKS BREAK! Bangladesh are off to a solid start in the chase. Juairiya Ferdous has taken her chances and looked positive from the outset. The Netherlands have been a little inconsistent with the ball, and they will hope to regain some control and tighten things up. If they can find a wicket, they will fancy their chances of putting the squeeze on Bangladesh through the middle overs. Isabel Van Der Woning to bowl after the break.

Silver Siegers To Dilara Akter
Smart shot, good fielding, even better running. Good cricket overall. Short once again and outside off. Dilara Akter plays the late cut through the vacant short third region. Phebe Molkenboer from backward point sprints hard and manages to haul the ball back before the ropes as she dives and crashes into the cushions. Saves a run for her side.

Heather Siegers To Juairiya Ferdous
IS THAT OUT? This will surely be checked upstairs. Short of a length, on middle and off, Juairiya Ferdous clears her front foot and slogs this one away. Doesn't get enough power behind it to take it over the fielder at the deep mid-wicket region. The ball was dropping on Sterre Kalis as she ran in from the fence and claimed a good catch low in front of her. This is sent upstairs by the on-field umpire. The replay shows that Kalis' fingers were split, and the ball made contact with the ground. Juairiya Ferdous survives.

FOUR! Gets it away. Seam up, straight one, wide of off, Juairiya Ferdous stays leg side of the ball and slashes hard at it. Cuts it over point and the ball wins the race against the chasing fielder for four runs.
A very decent opening over from Iris. She managed to beat the bat a couple of times and also produced a chance. Spin introduced already. Heather Siegers will operate from the opposite end.

In the air but lands just safe. Good length, around middle and leg, Juairiya Ferdous goes for a flick but gets it top-edged behind the stumps. The keeper turns around and goes for the catch, and so does Isabel Van Der Woning, who runs across from short third. But luckily for Ferdous, the ball falls short of Isabel and the batters run one.
