Bangladesh kept their hopes of reaching the quarterfinals alive by registering a comfortable six-wicket win over the Netherlands in a Group B match of the cricket World Cup here on Monday.
With the exception of Ryan ten Doeschate (53 not out), Dutch batsmen struggled to score against Bangladesh`s miserly spin attack on the slow track at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium.
The spinners shared five wickets between them with Razzak proving to be the most destructive as he finished with 3-29.
While victory over the winless Dutch will help Bangladesh to get one step closer to a quarter-final spot, the co-hosts will want to knock off the runs as quickly as possible since it may come down to net run rate to decide who goes through from Group B to the last eight if teams are tied on points.
