Tanzim, Nasum return as Bangladesh opt to bowl first in 2nd T20

DHAKA, Sept 1, 2025 (BSS)- Bangladesh captain Liton Das decided to bowl first after winning the toss in the second T20 International against Netherlands at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium today.

The hosts lead the three-match series 1-0 following their comprehensive eight-wicket victory in the first game.

In a bid to seal the series with a match remaining, Bangladesh broke the winning combination and made two changes.

Pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib and left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed returned to the fold, replacing Shoriful Islam and Rishad Hossain.

Despite the meek surrender in the opening game, Netherlands are confident to keep the series alive by winning the second match.

They, however, made just one change with middle order batter Sikandar Zulfiqar coming in place of Tim Pringle.
