Bangladesh’s trusted batsman and captain Litton Das made history by scoring a brilliant half -century in the first T20 against the Netherlands on Saturday (August 30) at the Silhat International Cricket Stadium. On reaching the par of Shakib Al Hasan, he made a record of 50+ score in T20 International from Bangladesh.

Litton completed his half -century off only 26 balls and scored an unbeaten innings of 54 runs in 29 balls, which included 6 fours and 2 sixes. After his performance, he has become a batsman to score 50+ in T20 International from Bangladesh with Shakib. Mahmudullah and Tamim Iqbal have played 8-8 times in this list while Mushfiqur Rahim has played innings above half-century 6 times.

Talking about the match, the Bangladesh team, after winning the toss, confined the Netherlands to 136 runs in 20 overs thanks to the deadly spell of Taskin Ahmed. In response, Bangladesh easily achieved the target. Litton (54* runs, 29 balls) and Saif Hasan (36* runs) returned unbeaten and gave the team a stunning victory.
