T20 World Cup: Netherlands captain Babette de Leede admitted her side fell short in all departments after suffering a six-wicket defeat to Bangladesh in their opening match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Edgbaston on Sunday.

The Dutch side posted 139/8 after batting first, with De Leede top-scoring with a fighting half-century. However, Bangladesh chased down the target in 19.1 overs thanks to a match-winning 50 from opener Juairiya Ferdous and an unbeaten partnership between Sharmin Akhter and Shorna Akter.

Reflecting on the defeat, De Leede felt her side failed to build enough momentum with the bat and left runs on the field.
