Spirited Bangladesh complete stunning whitewash
A steady batting performance followed by a clinical display with the ball in the second half of the chase helped Bangladesh clean sweep the T20I series with a 16-run win in the third T20I in Dhaka on Tuesday (March 14). Litton Das’s 57-ball 73 and Najmul Hossain’s 47 not out off 36 helped Bangladesh post a competitive 158/2. A 95-run partnership between Dawid Malan (53 off 47) and Jos Buttler (40 off 31) kept England in the hunt but Bangladesh picked up six wickets for 28 runs in the latter half of the chase to seal a famous whitewash.
Brief scores:
Bangladesh 158/2 in 20 overs (Litton Das 73, Najmul Hossain 47*; Adil Rashid 1-23) beat England 142/6 in 20 overs (Dawid Malan 53, Jos Buttler 40; Taskin Ahmed 2-26) by 16 runs.
