Bangladesh vs Netherlands T20I Series – Highlights, Schedule & Streaming

Bangladesh hosted the Netherlands for a three‑match T20I series in Sylhet during August‑September 2025. The games served as a warm‑up for the upcoming Asia Cup, and both sides used the chance to test new combos. In the end, Bangladesh clinched the series 2‑0 after the third match was washed out. Below you’ll find the key moments, the full schedule and the easiest ways to catch the action live.

Match Highlights

The first T20I saw Bangladesh win the toss and elect to field. The Dutch batting line‑up struggled against a disciplined pace attack, especially Taskin Ahmed, who ripped through the top order with a 4‑for‑28 spell. He claimed the wickets of the openers and the middle‑order all within his first eight overs. Bangladesh chased down the modest target of 121 with six wickets to spare, thanks to a quick cameo from Shakib Al Hasan.

In the second game, Bangladesh chose to bat first. Openers Liton Das and Najmul Hossain Shanto gave a solid start, reaching 80 runs in the powerplay. The Dutch bowlers tried to sting with some slick spin but couldn’t break the partnership. Bangladesh posted 165/5, a score that proved too big for the visitors. The Netherlands fell short at 134/8, with Taskin again shining, picking up two more wickets and keeping the run‑rate in check.

The third match was scheduled for 25 September but heavy rain forced a No‑Result. Both teams accepted the outcome, and the series trophy went to Bangladesh. Injuries played a part throughout the tour – Bangladesh lost a couple of fast bowlers to niggling hamstring strains, while the Netherlands had to replace a key all‑rounder after a shoulder issue.
