Kingstown, St. Vincent: Bangladesh edged closer to confirming its second-round qualification by beating the Netherlands by 25 runs at the Twenty20 World Cup on Thursday.
Wrist spinner Rishad Hossain spun the Tigers to victory picking 3-33 in four overs, after star all-rounder Shakib al Hasan had scored 64 not out off 46 balls.
Bangladesh had put up 159-5 after it was put into bat, while the Netherlands was restricted to 134-8 in response in their Group D game.
With one game remaining, Bangladesh needs just two points to qualify for the "super eight” stage. It faces Nepal on Monday.
The Netherlands also needs a win against Sri Lanka on the same day, but will also depend on Bangladesh’s result for its chances of qualifying.
