Chittagong: Netherlands skipper Peter Borren won the toss and decided to bat against Bangladesh in their World Cup Group B match at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium in Chittagong on Monday.
Off-spinner Adeel Raja got his first game of the tournament for the Dutch against the co-hosts.
Bangladesh went in with a third left-arm spinner in Suhrawadi Shuvo to partner captain Shakib Al Hasan and Abdur Razzak, dropping off-break bowler Naeem Islam.
Batsman Shahriar Nafees replaced Raqibul Hasan, giving the hosts five left-handers at the top of the order.
Bangladesh are hoping to build on a memorable World Cup win over England that has thrown open the door to the quarterfinals.
An unbeaten ninth-wicket stand of 58 between Mohammad Mahmudullah and Shafiul Islam helped the Tigers snatch an improbable win over England on Friday and resurrect their faltering campaign.
Bangladesh, co-hosting the World Cup for the first time with India and Sri Lanka, suddenly find themselves back in the reckoning for the second round from the unpredictable Group B.
With four points from as many matches, the Tigers must still beat both the Dutch and powerful South Africa in their remaining league matches to cement a place in the quarterfinals.
But a victory over the Dutch can also help Bangladesh advance if England, who have five points, lose their last match to the West Indies in Chennai on Thursday.
The Netherlands, a non-Test nation, have lost all their four matches so far and will have to lift their game to beat the Tigers in their own den.
The Dutch extended England in their opening game, but then lost to the West Indies by 215 runs and were thrashed by South Africa by 231 runs, before bowing to India by five wickets.
Dutch captain Peter Borren admitted his team had been inconsistent in the tournament, but looked forward to gaining their first win against either Bangladesh or Ireland.
