Tamim tames Dutch

Sports Reporter
Bangladesh bounced back from Tuesday's loss to lowly Scotland, as they comfortably beat Netherlands by eight wickets last night at Sportpark Westvliet in The Hague.
Tamim Iqbal's unbeaten 69, his maiden Twenty20 half-century, helped the Tigers go past the home side's 144-7 with two overs to spare. The Tigers reached the target through Mushfiqur Rahim's fourth six in his unbeaten 24-ball 37, the pair having added 82 runs for the undefeated third wicket stand which would help in some way to lay the ghost of the 34-run defeat to the Scots.
Tamim hammered five boundaries and a couple of sixes in his 53-ball knock while there also contribution from Junaed Siddiqui at the top of the order. The left-hander was given a go in place of Mohammad Ashraful and although he didn't set the world on fire, he did hit a six and three boundaries in his 20-ball 26. When he was caught by Peter Borren off paceman Timm van
der Gugten, it ended a 45-run opening stand with Tamim.
Shakib Al Hasan, having lost his place at the top of the ICC Test allrounder rankings, gave a timid return catch to medium-pacer Ahsan Malik after making 12 off 11 balls with the help of two boundaries.
The home side's decision to bat first backfired from the first over when Mashrafe clean bowled wicketkeeper Wesley Barresi in the first over. The Australia born Tom Cooper then swung one from Mashrafe down Shakib's throat at deep mid-wicket, giving Bangladesh an early footing in the game. Eric Szwarczynski's dismissal, caught at mid-on off Shakib, in the fourth over made it 14 for three.
Michael Swart remained intact at the other end, adding 38 for the fourth wicket with Peter Borren though that partnership was brought to an end when the latter was needlessly run out for 12. The veteran Tom de Grooth then aided Swart to his half-century, the pair adding 42 for the fifth wicket, brought to an end by a superb catch by another veteran, Abdur Razzak, running
towards long-off.
Swart was next to go but he made the biggest contribution: 57 off 41 balls with the help of four boundaries and a six. Hometown boy Tim Gruijters's final over blast at Mashrafe spoiled the paceman's figures but the 17 runs -- via Peter Seelar's six and two boundaries by Gruijters -- gave the Dutch some runs to bowl at.
Apart from Mashrafe's two, Shakib also got a couple of wickets while Abdur Razzak and Mahmudullah Riyad picked up one wicket each.
The Tigers, who will remain at ninth place in the ICC Twenty20 rankings, play their last game on tour, taking on the hosts again today at the same venue. The match begins at 6:00pm Bangladesh Standard Time.
