Bangladesh set a target of 145 runs in the match against the Dutch. Chasing that target, the Dutch team got all out for 135 runs. Two Dutch batters returned to the dressing room before Taskin Ahmed's brilliant bowling opened the run book. Then none could do better than one Colin Ackerman. As a result, Bangladesh leaves the field with a victory.
However, the Bangladesh team stumbled against South Africa in the second match. The team lost to a century by Riley Russo. After bowling, the Bangladeshi players were also unsuccessful in batting.
However, Bangladesh won the do-or-die match. Got a valuable win against Zimbabwe. Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss in this match and decided to bat. However, the batsmen of Bangladesh couldn't start batting well at all. Opener Soumya Sarkar returned to the dressing room after getting out for just 10 runs. Shortly after that Liton Das returned to the pavilion with the team dismissed for 32 runs. As a result, the team is under pressure.
But that pressure was met by captain Shakib Al Hasan and Nazmul Hasan Shanto. But the batters couldn't color the end. As a result, Bangladesh's innings stopped at 150 runs at the end of the scheduled 20 overs. The target for Zimbabwe was set at 151 runs.
In response, Zimbabwe lost 4 wickets for just 35 runs and came under pressure. But Williams and Ryan Burl handled that pressure. But in the end, the victory went to the Bangladesh team in one drama after another. Bangladesh won by 3 runs.
Now it remains to be seen how Bangladesh performs against its two neighbors Pakistan and India.
