FE DESK | Tuesday, 2 September 2025



Bangladesh secured series victory facing second string Netherlands winning their second T20 international at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium by nine wickets with 41 balls remaining.
Netherlands were bundled out for 103 in 17.3 overs after Bangladesh chose to bowl first.
Southpaw Tanzid Hasan hit six boundaries during his innings of 54 from 39 balls and smashed a four at the last ball to finish the game in style.
Parvez Hossain Emon (23) provided a brisk start before being caught behind off Kyle Klein (1-20), the only wicket which fell.
Skipper Litton Das (18) joined Tanzid to steer the side home as the pair added an unbroken 64 for the second wicket.
Aryan Dutt scored the highest for Netherlands with a 30 off 24 balls, hitting three fours and one six.
An aggressive Vikramjit Singh's (24) four boundaries at the start of his innings brought no fortune for the Dutchmen as his dismissal triggered a collapse.
Player of the match Nasum Ahmed (3-21) Mustafizur Rahman (2-18) and Taskin Ahmed (2-22) starred for the hosts taking wickets at regular intervals. Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mahedi Hasan took one wicket each maintaining pressure.
The Tigers' bowlers exploited the home conditions effectively, setting the stage for their batsmen to pursue the modest target to seal the series victory.
The tigers brought Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Nasum Ahmed in place of Shoriful Islam and Rishad Hossain for the second match.
Meanwhile, Sikander Zulfiqar was brought in for Tim Pringles for Netherlands.
