The Tigers won the first T20I convincingly. Taskin Ahmed’s four-wicket-haul forced the Netherlands to succumb to a 136-run total. In the chase, Litton Das (54) and Saif Hassan (36) helped Bangladesh cruise and clinch a comfortable 8-wicket victory. With a 1-0 lead, the Tigers will hope to seal the series in the 2nd T20I.

Netherlands

In the first T20I, inexperience and alien conditions troubled the Netherlands as they failed to set up a strong total in the first inning. Teja Nidamanuru was the highest run scorer with 26 runs. However, a lack of support led to a below-par total. Even with the ball, the Netherlands lacked plans and eventually lost the game in 13.3 overs.
