BAN vs NED 3rd T20I Match Preview and Team Analysis
Bangladesh
Bangladesh has been clinical in the series, winning the first two matches by 8 wickets and 9 wickets, showcasing both bowling firepower and batting depth. Taskin Ahmed and Nasum Ahmed dismantled the Dutch batting in the 2nd T20I, while Tanzid Hasan Tamim’s unbeaten 54* anchored the chase.
With three straight T20I series wins (vs Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and now the Netherlands), the Tigers look well-prepared ahead of the Asia Cup 2025. Tanzid Hasan and Parvez Hossain Emon have given solid starts, while Litton Das has been consistent at number three. The middle order, including Saif Hassan and Towhid Hridoy, remains a strong backup if needed.
Bowling has been Bangladesh’s biggest weapon, with Taskin leading the attack and Mustafizur providing control. Nasum Ahmed’s spin also adds variety to Sylhet’s conditions.
Key Players: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed
Predicted Playing XI (BAN): Parvez Hossain Emon, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Litton Das (c & wk), Saif Hassan, Towhid Hridoy, Jaker Ali, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman
Netherlands
The Netherlands have been outplayed in both games, with their batting collapsing under pressure. Aryan Dutt, surprisingly their top scorer with 43 runs across two matches, has shown fight, but the rest of the middle order has failed to fire.
Max O’Dowd and Vikramjit Singh must give the Dutch a strong platform if they hope to challenge Bangladesh. Captain Scott Edwards has struggled in this series and will need to step up in the final game. With the ball, the Dutch attack has lacked penetration, taking just 3 wickets across two matches. Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein, and Tim Pringle will need to show greater consistency.
Key Players: Max O’Dowd, Scott Edwards, Aryan Dutt
Predicted Playing XI (NED): Max O’Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Teja Nidamanuru, Scott Edwards (c & wk), Shariz Ahmad, Noah Croes, Sikander Zulfiqar, Kyle Klein, Aryan Dutt, Paul van Meekeren, Daniel Doram

BAN vs NED Match Prediction: Who Will Win 3rd T20I
Bangladesh has been ruthless in the series, dominating both with bat and ball. The Netherlands will need their senior players like O’Dowd and Edwards to fire, but their inconsistent batting remains a major concern. With form, confidence, and home advantage on their side, Bangladesh are overwhelming favourites to complete a 3-0 whitewash.
Prediction: Bangladesh to beat the Netherlands and win the series 3-0.
