Bangladesh vs Netherlands Match Scorecard – T20I 2025

Bangladesh’s bowlers gave the Netherlands little room to breathe in the opening T20I at Sylhet, dismissing them for 136 on a surface that offered plenty of turn. Taskin Ahmed led the charge with 4 for 28, and the chase was wrapped up in just 13.3 overs.

The series was sealed 2-0 before rain and a floodlight malfunction cut the third game short.
