After low-scoring games in New York, Group A sees a par game in Grenadine. Netherlands should've gotten closer but as Shanto said, Fizz showed his experience and skill and helped Bangladesh seal a crucial 25-run win. Another crucial clash coming up from Group B, where England take on Oman. Our coverage has started, follow here. Thanks for joining.

Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh captain: Boys showed lot of character in an important match. Shakib's calm and we know how good he is. Happy for him. (Total) We didn't know how the conditions will behave and what score is defendable. In the end batters and bowlers did well. Pitch is good, there was uneven bounce early on but good to bat on. Conditions were good. Fizz, we know how good he is. Showed his experience and skill. Rishad stood up like all the bowlers.

Scott Edwards, Netherlands captain: We lost in all three facets. Credit to Bangladesh, they were great and we weren't up to it. They kept wickets in hand. Would be tough to bowl to a windy boundary. Stand between him and Sybrand - We knew they had quality bowlers at the death and wanted to maximise the middle overs but fell quickly. Aryan has been sensational in the last couple years and used the conditions well. It's a bit out of our hands now. Want to play well vs Sri Lanka and see how it goes from there.

Shakib Al Hasan, POTM: It was important for someone from top-four to bat through the innings. Happy to contribute. It was a tough pitch at the start, we held our nerves. Was a challenging total, not a winning one, but bowlers chipped in perfectly. Rishad and Fizz took it away from Netherlands. Hardly any international game was played in the last 4-5 years here. So, we didn't know what a good score was and had to keep wickets till 14-15 overs and take it from there. 160 in a WC game is always tricky. Netherlands had their moments, 10 runs an over on this ground in the last 7-8 overs, wind going in one way, made it tough to defend. But credit to bowlers for pulling it off. Neck braces was for batting and it did help.

2:07pm: Commanding win for Bangladesh despite the game being tight for about 15 overs of the chase. Gets them in pole position to progress into the Super Eights from this group and knocks out Sri Lanka. Coming into the tournament, they had a few big challenges - death and spin bowling being chief among them. Fizz, Taskin, Rishad have offered them solutions despite the pressure put on them by proactive batting from Netherlands' top and middle order, who kept chipping in but couldn't carry on. The bowlers worked out that going slow into the pitch as it wore and tore helped them out, and there was no looking back.

Taskin Ahmed to Pringle, OUT, Slower one ends Pringle's misery as well as the game. Leg stump has been floored. Was a fullish length that angled back in. Pringle lunged far forward and tried to heave over midwicket. Missed it and there are big smiles among Shanto, Shakib et al

Taskin Ahmed to Dutt, 1 run, Close to a yorker. Tad behind the mark, Dutt can't get under it though. Jammed to long-on

Eshwar: "Death overs performances from both teams was the difference between them."

Taskin Ahmed to Dutt, FOUR, On-pace bouncer finds the edge but the ball sails behind the keeper for a one-bounce four. Dutt went full-throttle with the pull, swivelled after hitting it off the top edge, and Taskin yelled in frustration

Taskin Ahmed to Dutt, no run, There it is. Dot to make it 33 off 5. Slower bouncer outside off beats the pull

Taskin has 33 to defend. One non-boundary and the game's effectively done
