Bangladesh need to chase down 118 in the second Twenty20 International of their three-match series against England to seal a maiden series win over the visitors.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and opted to field first and the Bangladesh bowlers produced a brilliant bowling performance, tightening the screws on them from the very start and persisting with the pressure, which led to England being bowled out for 117 with no batter going past 30.

For Bangladesh, Mehidy Hasan Miraz was the star of the show as he picked up four wickets giving away just 12 runs, while Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, and Shakib picked up one each. The other two were run outs in the final over of the innings.

Teams:

Bangladesh (Playing XI): Litton Das(w), Rony Talukdar, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Towhid Hridoy, Shakib Al Hasan(c), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Taskin Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud

England (Playing XI): Philip Salt, Dawid Malan, Jos Buttler(w/c), Ben Duckett, Moeen Ali, Sam Curran, Chris Woakes, Chris Jordan, Adil Rashid, Rehan Ahmed, Jofra Archer
