For many teams, the ODI World Cup 2023 has been full of highs and lows. The competition is already under way, and fans are beginning to get a sense of which teams will advance to the game’s knockout phases and which ones might not. In addition to the outstanding showings, a few teams have fallen short of expectations. Specifically, Bangladesh, under the leadership of Shakib Al Hasan, is one team that has performed poorly thus far in the competition.
Bangladesh, who are ranked tenth in the rankings, has only triumphed in one of their six games played. In reference to the team’s dismal showing, veteran Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra expressed on social media that Bangladesh’s ambitions are raised because the event is being held in India, and their dismal showings are even more disheartening.
“The subcontinent’s World Cup inspires hope for the teams from this area… Bangladesh’s dismal returns are therefore much more disheartening,” tweeted Aakash Chopra.
A World Cup in the subcontinent ignites hope for the teams from this region…therefore, Bangladesh’s poor returns are a lot more disappointing. And while we are at the subject of appreciating Netherlands (which we all should) I’d like to know what’s in store for them next 12…

What do you think will happen to them during the next 12 months? Aakash Chopra
In addition, Aakash Chopra gave the Netherlands enormous credit. After six games played, the Netherlands has managed to win two of them, placing them in eighth place in the standings. Speaking about their performance, Chopra thought they deserved all the recognition they were receiving, but he also questioned their intentions for a bilateral series following the 2023 ODI World Cup.
While we’re talking about how much we should all value the Netherlands, I’d like to know what is ahead for them in the upcoming year. How many cricket series, one-sided or two-sided, are scheduled? Particularly when playing against groups like SA, NZ, England, India, Australia, etc. An annual initiative on inclusivity is not feasible! Aakash Chopra sent a tweet.
The Netherlands will play Afghanistan in their upcoming assignment. On Friday, November 3, both teams will play in the 34th match of the competition at Lucknow’s Ekana Cricket Stadium.
