CHATTOGRAM, Bangladesh (AP) — Tanzid Hasan’s record five boundary catches and unbeaten 55 led Bangladesh to a Twenty20 series-clinching win over Ireland on Tuesday.
Ireland was bowled for 117 and Bangladesh raced to 119-2 in 13.4 overs. The home side won by eight wickets with 38 balls to spare and took the series 2-1.
Tanzid became the first cricketer from a full test nation to take five catches in a T20. He caught out the last five Ireland batsmen, four at long-on.
Bangladesh’s chase was clinical despite losing Saif Hassan (19) and skipper Liton Das (7) in quick succession.
