12.26pm Bangladesh get 159 for 5. They got 54 off the last five overs, mostly in boundaries. It is a good score but will it be enough? Shakib was the glue in that innings as he finishes unbeaten on 64 off 46 balls. Aryan Dutt started well getting Shanto and Litton inside the powerplay. Shakib and Tanzid put on a nice partnership, but regular wickets kept Netherlands in the game. Bangladesh did get close to 160 in the end, thanks mainly to Shakib's fifty, but they need to bowl well to keep Netherlands from chasing this down.
