Earlier, in the game Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards won the toss and elected to bast first. The decision turned out to be a poor one as they lost both their openers, Vikramjit Singh and Max ODowd, with only 4 runs on the board. However, skipper Scott Edwards once again displayed his batting prowess, although he received limited support from the other end.

Wesley Barresi drawing upon his experience, contributed for a while but was dismissed after scoring 41 runs. Sybrand Engelbrecht managed to stay at the crease with the skipper but was dismissed in the death overs, having contributed 35 runs while attempting to accelerate the scoring. A few powerful hits from Logan van Beek helped push the total past 225. Edwards was the top scorer for the Dutch, delivering a splendid innings of 68 runs.

While chasing the target, Bangladesh's batsmen encountered difficulties in finding their rhythm, suffering frequent wicket losses. The batting order saw alterations, including Mehidy Hasan Miraz batting ahead of Najmul Hossain Shanto. Surprisingly, Miraz managed to top the scoring for Bangladesh with 35 runs in the match.

The Dutch bowlers delivered an outstanding performance throughout the innings, with Paul van Meekeren standing out by capturing 4 wickets and conceding only 23 runs in 7.2 overs. Bas de Leede, who had previously endured the worst bowling figures in ODI history against Australia, made a remarkable comeback, securing 2 wickets while giving away just 25 runs in 7 overs. This impressive bowling display propelled the Netherlands to their second victory of the tournament.
