When it comes to guessing which side of a tossed coin will come up on top, Bangladesh T20I captain Litton Das' track record isn't too great.

Bangladesh need 104 runs to win.

Bangladesh skipper Litton Das produced a timely return to form in Sylhet on Saturday, guiding his side to a commanding eight-wicket win over the Netherlands in the first T20I Taskin Ahmed the three-match series.

It was Litton’s first fifty against the Netherlands in four outings, surpassing his previous combined tally of 54 runs against the Dutch.

Bangladesh lead the three-match series 1-0.

Bangladesh Twenty20 International captain Litton Das said that he is not worried about what could happen if his side slips up against Netherlands in the upcoming three-match series so close to the Asia Cup, claiming that the type of cricket the team plays is more important to him than the outcome.

Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards believes his side have every chance of upsetting Bangladesh when the two sides meet in a three-match T20I series, starting on August 30 in Sylhet.

While Litton and Mustafizur bask in family time and freedom, some of their teammates are staying close to the grind.

Bangladesh’s next international assignment is expected in September during the Asia Cup T20, which is likely to be held in the UAE. Until then, the national side faces a rare break from international and domestic cricket, aside from Bangladesh 'A' team’s scheduled red-ball and T20 series in Australia next month.

The Tigers suffer from megalophobia -- they fear large targets.

For now, the home win is a welcome boost.

“We know that we can't fill the void of the lives that were lost, but at least from our side, this series is dedicated to them.”

Middle-order batter Jaker Ali scored his fourth T20I fifty and left-arm pacer Shoriful Islam notched up his career-best figures as Bangladesh clinched a thrilling win in the second T20I of the three-match series against Pakistan in Mirpur and sealed the series with a 2-0 lead. 

Bangladesh captain Litton Das admitted that his side's knowledge and familiarity with the wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur played a key factor in their commanding seven-wicket win over Pakistan in the first T20I of the three-match series on Sunday.

Litton claimed that batters particularly suffered in two series back in 2021 against Australia and New Zealand, where Bangladesh won both series but received a lot of criticism for the tailor-made rank-turner wickets.

Captaincy, however, might have influenced his recent innings -- particularly the 76 in the second T20I against Sri Lanka in Dambulla, the highest score by a Bangladesh T20I captain.

The Bangladesh squad arrived in the country on Thursday following their 2-1 T20I series triumph against Sri Lanka on Wednesday. The Tigers, however, have little time to adjust to home conditions, with Pakistan already having arrived in Dhaka on Wednesday to play a three-match T20I series.

Speaking to the media upon returning home this morning, Nafees hailed Litton’s resilience and leadership under pressure.

Bangladesh T20I skipper Litton Das dedicated their T20I series triumph over Sri Lanka to the martyrs of the July movement last year.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das feels the T20I series win over Sri Lanka is a “big achievement” for Bangladesh cricket and lauded his team for showing “character” in the series-clinching eight-wicket win in the third T20I in Colombo on Wednesday.
