Third T20I against Bangladesh rained out
Published at 03 September, 2025The third and final T20I against BD was rained out on Wednesday. The Dutch team had just started a string of strong overs when it started raining.
Captain Scott Edwards won the toss and let the hosts bat. Aryan Dutt immediately made things difficult for Saif. A top edge fell in no man's land and a sweep was dropped to deep square leg. Kyle Klein made sure the drop wasn't too expensive (39/1). In the fourth over, Bangladesh reached fifty.
Immediately afterward, the lights partially failed and rain began, forcing a delay in the match. After the restart, Litton Das was again untouchable. He reached his fifty in 27 balls. Hridoy had a bit more trouble; his bizarrely high skier was cleverly caught by Vikramjit Singh off the bowling of Tim Pringle (77/2). At the halfway point of the innings, the score was 89/2.
Pringle generated considerably more spin than his colleagues. Dutt was unlucky when another catching opportunity was dropped off his bowling in his third over. Kyle Klein was spared the same fate; he saw Litton Das (73) caught by Max O’Dowd (121/3) and two balls later Shamim (21) by Edwards after a vicious bouncer. Aryan Dutt looked set to give Kyle Klein his fourth wicket with a brilliant catch on the boundary, but his size 48 just touch the rope.
Bangladesh reached 164/4/18.2 before rain prevented further play. Ironically, the Dutch team was enjoying its best fielding and bowling performance of the week at that time. Dutt was economical (0-19) and deserved wickets, Kyle Klein took 3-53, but the pick of the bowlers was Tim Pringle, who took 1-18 in his four overs.
