From Group D at the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024, Aiden Markram-led South Africa became the first to book their birth in the Super Eight stage when they registered three wins on a trot. However, the fight for second place is getting heated up between three teams: Bangladesh, the Netherlands, and Nepal. Sri Lanka, who have one point in three games, are already out of the race for Super 8.

The Najmul Hossain Shanto-led Bangladesh won their crucial match against Scott Edwards-led Netherlands at the Arnos Vale Ground, Kingstown, St. Vincent, on June 13. After being asked to bat first, Bangladesh veteran batter Shakib Al Hasan played a fantasic knock of 64* runs, which helped them reach 159/5 in 20 overs.

While chasing 160 runs, Dutch batter Sybrand Engelbrecht’s 33-run knock and skipper Edwards’ 25 runs went in vain as they lost the match by 25 runs. Bangladesh spinner Rishad Hossain picked up a three-wicket haul.
