Spinner Nasum Ahmed returned figures of three for 21 to help Bangladesh thrash the Netherlands by nine wickets in the second T20I on Monday as the host clinched the three-match series with a game to spare.

Bangladesh bundled out the tourist for a paltry 103 and romped home to the target in 13.1 overs to take a 2-0 lead.

Bangladesh, which won a third successive T20 series, has kept its momentum ahead of the T20 Asia Cup starting September 9 in the United Arab Emirates.

HIGHLIGHTS | Bangladesh vs Netherlands 2nd T20I

Left-handed opener Tanzid Hasan made 54 and put on an unbeaten 64-run stand with skipper Litton Das, who scored 18.

But it was Bangladesh’s bowlers who set up victory as Nasum, who came into the team as one of two changes, struck twice on successive balls in the third over.

Dutch skipper Scott Edwards played out the hat-trick ball from Nasum but later fell for nine off left-arm quick Mustafizur Rahman.

Opener Vikramjit Singh made 24 off 17 ball before he fell to pace bowler Taskin Ahmed and was one of just three batsmen to manage double figures.

The wickets kept tumbling as the Netherlands survived just 17.3 overs after being invited to bat first. No. 9 batter Aryan Dutt made 30 as he took the team past 100 before becoming the last wicket to fall.

Bangladesh started its chase briskly with Parvez Hossain Emon’s 23 off 21, and after his departure Tanzid and Litton steered the team home.

The final match of the series is on Wednesday at the same venue.
