ODI World Cup: Medium pacer Paul van Meekeren claimed four wickets to lead an outstanding bowling performance as the Netherlands secured an 87-run victory over Bangladesh at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at the Eden Gardens on Saturday.

Scott Edwards’ half-century helped the Dutch to a competitive score of 229 in a struggle of a first innings. But his bowling attack also took advantage of a helpful surface to leave Bangladesh’s reply in tatters, with the Tigers slipping to 142 all out.

With this win, the Netherlands, who had stunned South Africa earlier in the event, moved to eighth position with four points, placed ahead of Bangladesh and England, who have two points each.
