Toss Bangladesh chose to bowl vs Netherlands
Bangladesh won the toss for the second game in a row and again asked Netherlands to set a total in the second T20I in Sylhet.
Bangladesh made two changes to the side that won the first game convincingly in the first game, with fast bowler Tanzim Hasan Sakib and spin-bowling allrounder Nasum Ahmed replacing Shoriful Islam and Rishad Hossain.
Both Shoriful and Rishad went wicketless in the first T20I, conceding 46 runs from their combined six overs.
Netherlands, meanwhile, bolstered their batting, bringing in Sikander Zulfiqar in place of spinner Tim Pringle, who got a wicket but conceded 16 runs from his two overs.
The move to lengthen their batting comes after they were restricted to 138 in the first T20I, a target Bangladesh mowed down in 13.3 overs.
