Bangladesh needed just over 13 overs to brush aside a modest target set for them by the Netherlands and clinch the T20I series in Sylhet on Monday.

The 9 wicket win gave Litton Das’s side a 2–0 lead with a game still to play.

The Dutch batting never got going. Sent in to bat, they folded for 103 in 17.3 overs, undone by poor shot selection and Bangladesh’s disciplined attack.

Only Aryan Dutt, who came in at No. 9, showed resistance with a 30-run cameo that included the visitors’ lone six. Opener Vikramjit Singh made 24, but seven others failed to reach double figures.

Nasum Ahmed, playing his first match of the series, was the pick of the bowlers. The left-arm spinner struck twice in his opening over, finishing with 3 for 21 to earn Player of the Match honors.

Taskin Ahmed (2–22) and Mustafizur Rahman (2–18) shared four wickets between them, while Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Mahedi Hasan chipped in with one apiece.

Chasing 104, Bangladesh never looked troubled. Parvez Hossain Emon and Tanzid Hasan gave the hosts a brisk start, adding 40 runs inside the first six overs.

Emon made 23 before edging behind, but Tanzid carried on, crafting a composed half-century. He struck four boundaries and two sixes in his unbeaten 54 off 39 balls.

Captain Litton Das played second fiddle, finishing 18 not out as Bangladesh coasted home in 13.1 overs — their third-fastest T20I chase.

It was Bangladesh’s third consecutive T20I series win, following victories over Sri Lanka and Pakistan earlier this year.
