Bangladesh showed an impressive bowling performance as they bowled out the Netherlands for just 103 runs in the second T20 of the series at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Monday.

After winning the toss, Bangladesh skipper Liton Kumar Das decided to field, and his decision paid off well for the bowlers.

Nasum Ahmed made the first breakthrough for the tigers in his second ball of the first over by dismissing Maxwell O’Dowd for 8 runs off 10 deliveries.
Towhid Hridoy took a brilliant catch to send him off in the third over of the match. The very next ball,l Nasum again sent back Anil Teja Nidamanuru in the short third man, where Parvez Hossain Emon took a stunning catch.

Later, opener Vikramjit Singh showed some resistance, but his innings stopped at 24 off 17 when Taskin Ahmed bowled a short-length slow ball.
Vikram tried to clear the field through long-on, but Sakib took the catch with a diving effort, and the total score for the visitors stood at 37-3.
The wickets continued to tumble thereafter when the skipper Scott Edwards was dismissed for 9 off 11 when an off-cutter delivery from Mustafizur Rahman was miscued and caught by Parvez Hossain Emon at mid-on.

The collapse continued in the ninth over when a full and straight ball was tucked away to short mid-wicket by Noah Croes.
Saif Hassan, with a clever stop and an excellent throw, hit the stumps at the non-striker's end, and Croes was run out for 2.

The very next ball, Tanzim Hasan Sakib delivered a short-pitched ball that Shariz Ahmad (12 off 17) attempted to pull, but it ticked his gloves and Litton Das took the catch behind the stumps, leaving the Netherlands reeling at 61 for 6.

Mustafizur Rahman returned to claim another wicket in the 11th over, clean bowling Sikander Zulfiqar for 2 with a back-of-a-length delivery that shaped back in and went through his defence.

Taskin Ahmed then struck in the 14th over, with Kyle Klein (4 off 7) whipping a short-of-a-length ball to Jaker Ali, who made no mistake with the catch.

Nasum Ahmed secured his third scalp in the 15th over, trapping Paul van Meekeren (3 off 7) leg before wicket.
The batter reviewed the decision, but the ball-tracking showed the impact was an umpire's call, and it was hitting the off stump.

The Dutch's last wicket fell in the 18th over when Shak Mahedi Hasan cleaned up Aryan Dutt for 30 runs off 24 deliveries.

A slower non-turning ball on the off-stump line beat Dutt, who had charged down the track and knocked over the off-stump, bringing the Netherlands' innings to a close at 103.
Daniel Doram remained not out on 2.
