Liton eclipses Shakib in hitting most 50 in T20 format

DHAKA, Sept 3, 2025 (BSS)-Bangladesh T20 captain Liton Das continued his rich 
vein of form to hit his second fifty in the three-match series against 
Netherlands today at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.

Having done so, he took his tally of fifty to 14 in this format, the most by 
a Bangladeshi batter, going past Shakib Al Hasan.

He eventually was out for 73 off 46, smashing six fours and four sixes.

Liton clubbed 29 ball-54 not out in the first match against Netherlands to 
level with Shakib in terms of hitting most fifty by a Bangladeshi batter. 
Bangladesh won that game by eight wickets.

In the second match, his service was not needed that much as Tanzid Hasan 
Tamim struck an unbeaten 54 off 40 to help Bangladesh win the game by nine 
wickets.

However, Liton returned to opening slot in the third and final T20 against 
Netherlands after the regular two openers-Tanzid and Parvez Hossain Emon were 
given rest.

Liton continued his form and brought up his fifty off just 27 balls to go 
past Shakib.
