“Netherlands National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: Bangladesh’s Dominant 9-Wicket Win — 2nd T20I at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, September 1, 2025
Match Overview
The Netherlands National Cricket Team vs Bangladesh National Cricket Team match scorecard from the 2nd T20I of the Netherlands tour of Bangladesh, 2025 makes for a one-sided but fascinating read. Played on September 1, 2025, at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium, this was the second match of a three-game T20I series between the two sides.
Bangladesh captain Litton Das won the toss and elected to field first, a decision that paid off handsomely. Put in to bat, the Netherlands innings never found rhythm and the visitors were bowled out for a modest 103 runs in 17.3 overs. Chasing a small target, Bangladesh cruised home in just 13.1 overs, finishing at 104/1 to win by 9 wickets with 41 balls to spare — their third-quickest T20I run chase ever.
Left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed was the star performer with the ball, picking up 3 wickets, and he was deservedly named Player of the Match. This result took Bangladesh to a 2-0 series lead over the Dutch side, extending their winning streak to three consecutive T20I series victories under Litton Das’s captaincy.

Key Highlights & Match Analysis
This Netherlands vs Bangladesh match scorecard tells the story of a game dominated almost entirely by the home side’s bowling and top-order batting. The standout performance with the bat came from Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who remained unbeaten on 54 off just 40 balls, laced with 4 fours and 2 sixes. It was his sixth T20I half-century and the anchor knock that carried Bangladesh comfortably to victory without needing to take any risks. Vikramjit Singh’s brisk 24 off 17 for the Netherlands and Aryan Dutt’s fighting 30 off 24 down the order were the only real positives from the Dutch batting effort, with seven of their batters managing single-digit scores.
With the ball, Nasum Ahmed produced the best bowling performance of the innings, returning figures of 3 wickets for 21 runs from his 4 overs. Brought into the XI in place of Rishad Hossain, the left-arm spinner struck at crucial intervals to keep the Dutch batting under constant pressure. Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman backed him up superbly, taking 2 wickets apiece and rarely allowing any Netherlands batter to settle at the crease.
The turning point of the match arrived early in the Netherlands innings, when they slipped to 14/2 inside the third over after losing both Max O’Dowd and Teja Nidamanuru cheaply. From there, the Dutch batting line-up never recovered momentum, losing wickets at regular intervals — 55/4, 61/5, and 61/6 in successive overs — which effectively ended the contest as a competitive one well before the halfway stage of the innings.
In terms of records and milestones, Bangladesh’s 13.1-over run chase was their third-quickest successful T20I chase in history (in matches unaffected by reduced overs), a testament to how clinically their top order — Parvez Hossain Emon (23 off 21) and Tanzid Hasan Tamim — went about the target of 104. The win also extended Bangladesh’s streak to three consecutive bilateral T20I series victories, continuing their positive momentum ahead of the 2025 Asia Cup and their preparations for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. For the Netherlands, this tour remained a tough learning experience in unfamiliar subcontinental, spin-friendly conditions, though the series would ultimately end in a no-result third T20I in Sylhet, with Bangladesh sealing the series 2-0.
