Voorburg: Netherlands snatched a tense one-wicket victory over Bangladesh to tie the T20I series 1-1 against Bangladesh on Thursday at Sportpark Westvliet, Voorburg.

Ahsan Malik at no. 11 came to the wicket with Netherlands needing two for victory, after Abdur Razzak had removed Timm van der Gugten, who had just hit six, with the penultimate ball.

Mahmudullah was one of the few batsmen to score fluently, adding 41 from 31 balls in a 62-run partnership with Tamim, but Ziaur Rahman was the only other Bangladeshi to reach double figures.
