Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Rashad Mahbub

That concludes all the action from us today. Thank you for tuning in! This is Rashad Mahbub, signing off on behalf of Ranjith P and the rest of the crew. Goodnight.

Litton Das: "The dew was a major factor, but our bowlers were brilliant. Taskin, Fizz, and Saif all bowled exceptionally well. While Rishad struggled to grip the ball due to the dew, their collective effort kept the target to a manageable 137 on this wicket. The momentum of the game then swung completely in our favor after Emon's explosive start in the very first over."

Player of the Match, Taskin Ahmed: "It's a great feeling to have a match like this, especially the first one of the series. After my injury, I was struggling a little bit with my freedom of movement, but day by day, it's getting better. I'm working with my physio and just following the process. Over the last few weeks in training, we have really worked hard. Hard work will pay off, for sure, so I'm just following that process. That wicket was very good to bat on, and there was a dew factor as well. I just followed my basics well and also mixed up some variations."

Scott Edwards: "It was not an ideal start. Max O'Dowd batted well at the beginning, and we probably lost a little bit of momentum in the middle. We were outclassed in all three parts of the game, and you have to give credit to Bangladesh. They put us under pressure every time we tried to build a partnership, and they took a wicket. We never really got going. We were never going to win with a score of 130-odd. [Fielding effort] There will be some things that we go back and look at. As it's a three-game series, we have to come back better in the next game."

9:08 pm It was a clinical performance from Bangladesh, who were dominant in all three departments. And with today's win, Bangladesh lead the 3 match series 1-0. The run chase started with a bang, as Parvez Hossain Emon smashed two fours and a six off the first three balls. However, Aryan Dutt struck back in the third over, bowling Emon with a faster delivery through his defence. Litton Das, on the other hand, took the initiative, leading the path with a variety of innovative shots, while Tanzid gave good support. Bangladesh were never in doubt about chasing the mark, consistently scoring between 9 and 10 runs each over. After Tanzid was dismissed with a full toss, Saif Hassan entered the fray and made an immediate impact, playing some stunning strokes. He sealed the win with two consecutive sixes, finishing with 36 runs off just 19 balls. Litton also stayed unbeaten at the other end, scoring a brilliant 54 off 29 deliveries. The visitors struggled in the conditions, with the dew and extreme humidity making it very difficult to grip the ball. For the Netherlands, Pringle and Dutt were the only wicket-takers, each bagging one.

AJ: "What a comeback for Saif in internationals. Looks a much more fluid batsmen than before after working on his technique."
