Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto: Bangladesh successfully defended 106, the lowest total ever defended in the men's T20 World Cup, to beat Nepal by 21 runs on Monday (as per IST) at the Arnos Vale Ground, sealing progression to the Super Eight stage of the tournament.

Putting into bat first, Bangladesh were bundled for 106. But, Tanzim Hasan Sakib scythed through Nepal's top order and Mustafizur Rahman's death bowling masterclass helped Bangladesh pull off the lowest successful defence in a men's T20 World Cup.

Bowling first, Nepal could not have started any better as Sompal Kami dismissed Tanzid Hasan caught and bowled with the first delivery of the match. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was castled in the second over, causing even more despair for Bangladesh.
