Dubai: Bangladesh defeated Netherlands by nine wickets to take a 2-0 lead in the three-match Twenty20 International series on Monday.

Chasing a small target of 104 to win, Tanzid Hasan scored a 40-ball 54 including four boundaries and two sixes to guide Bangladesh to victory in the 14th over.

Earlier, Netherlands were bundled out for a meagre 103. Netherlands suffered early blows when they lost two wickets for just 14 runs.

Opener Vikrajit Singh who looked to be in good form scoring a 17-ball 24 succumbed at a crucial time.

None of the other batters were able to hold the innings firm with just Aryan Dutt scoring a quickfire 30 as Netherlands just managed to enter the three-digit score.

For Bangladesh, Nasum Ahmed claimed three wickets while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Raman picked two each.

Bangladesh lead three T20Is 1-0 after they won the first one two days ago.
