Bangladesh women's cricket team faced their second consecutive defeat in the tri-nation series after losing to the Netherlands by 8 runs on June 1, 2026. Chasing a target of 163 runs, Bangladesh struggled early in their innings. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty fought alone with a resilient 77 off 51 balls, but her effort went in vain as the team fell short of the target.

Batting first, the Netherlands posted a strong total of 162 runs, led by Heather Siegers’ 52 off 43 balls and Phebe Molkenboer’s 29 off 24. For Bangladesh, Fariha Trisna took two wickets for 26 runs. In reply, opener Juaeria Ferdous scored 22 off 24 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to contribute significantly. Heather Siegers also shone with the ball, taking three wickets for 39 runs.

Following their earlier loss to Scotland, this defeat has made Bangladesh’s path to the final of the tri-nation series considerably more difficult.
