PITCH REPORT - Dale Steyn says it will be a good genuine wicket. Evenly paced and not much spin. Adds the overhead conditions can help the seam bowlers. Shares the batsmen may seem to have an upper hand. 

Bangladesh (Playing XI) - Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Shakib Al Hasan (C), Afif Hossain, Yasir Ali, Nurul Hasan (WK), Mosaddek Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud.

Netherlands (Playing XI) - Max O'Dowd, Vikramjit Singh, Bas de Leede, Tom Cooper, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (C/WK), Tim Pringle, Logan van Beek, Shariz Ahmad, Fred Klaassen, Paul van Meekeren.

Shakib Al Hasan, the captain of Bangladesh says they came late in Hobart but they got good preparation in New Zealand. Adds the seam bowlers have improved and hopes to do well now. Reckons it is important to guide the young players and also to perform well. Informs his team.
