Bangladesh and the Netherlands will clash in a three-match T20I series in Sylhet.

Bangladesh are all set to host the Netherlands for a three-match T20I series later this month. The series will act as a great preparation for Bangladesh for the Asia Cup 2025, which will be played next month. On the other hand, this will be the first time that the Dutch side will play their bilateral series in Bangladesh.

The Netherlands will arrive in Dhaka on August 26 and undergo training for three days. The series opener between both sides will take place on August 30 at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, Sylhet. The next two encounters will be played on September 1 and 3 at the same venue. All the games will start at 6 PM local time.

In head-to-head clashes in T20Is, Bangladesh and the Netherlands have played five games. Bangladesh won four matches while the Netherlands won one encounter. Their previous encounter took place during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) scheduled the T20I series against the Netherlands after India postponed their white-ball tour, which was scheduled to be played in August. The move left Bangladesh with no international cricket for a month before the Asia Cup 2025. The BCB was also in talks with Nepal for a bilateral series.

Meanwhile, Asia Cup 2025 will commence on September 9, with eight teams battling for the title. Bangladesh are part of Group B in the tournament with Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong in their pool. They will play their opening game on September 11 against Hong Kong at Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.

Last month, Bangladesh played a T20I series against Pakistan at home. The hosts won the three-match series 2-1 after winning the first two games by seven wickets and eight runs respectively. Pakistan won the third T20I by 74 runs.

When will the Bangladesh vs Netherlands T20I series take place?

Bangladesh vs Netherlands T20I series will take place from August 30 to September 3.

What is Bangladesh vs Netherlands head-to-head record in T20Is?

Bangladesh and the Netherlands have played five T20Is, out of which Bangladesh won four games while the Netherlands won one match.
