| Richie Berrington(Scotland) 100 runs |
Scotland inflicted a thumping 34-run defeat on
high-flying Bangladesh in the first-ever Twenty20 match between the two
sides on Tuesday at The Hague.
The hosts terminated the visitors' pursuit in 18 overs allowing them to compile 128. Shakib Al Hasan scored highest 31 off 28 deliveries.
The innings got off to a shaky start after Mohammad Ashraful was run out for 8.
Josh Davey then picked up his first wicket when Tamim Iqbal (25) edged a delivery towards the keeper.
Bangladesh skipper Mushfiqur Rahim was sent back by Preston Mommsen and Majid Haq removed Mahmudullah. Both batsmen departed having scored only 9.
Davey struck for the second time when Nasir Hossain (7) tried to flick through the leg side and succeeded in being caught by Mommsen.
Ziaur Rahman (9) was bowled by Gordon Drummond while Shakib Al Hasan was caught off a Gordon Goudie delivery.
Haq bowled both Mashrafe Bin Mortaza (15) and Abdur Razzak (1) in the 17th over.
Davey ended Bangladesh's day to forget by sending back Abul Hasan (9) to the dressing room.
Majid Haq and Josh Davey each took three wickets for Scotland.
Earlier, aided by Richie Berrington's century, Scotland managed to score a modest 162-7 after electing to bat.
The opening batsman's 56-ball knock included 10 fours and five sixes.
Calum MacLeod (19) was the first wicket to go as he tried lofting a Shakib Al Hasan delivery which was slightly edged and keeper Mushfiqur Rahim accepted the chance.
Jan Stander was then sent back after being run out without scoring.
Kyle Coetzer (14) came down the track and lofted a Mahmudullah delivery to long-off which was taken by Mashrafe Bin Mortaza.
Preston Mommsen (12) was run out while Berrington's stay at the crease was ended by an Abdur Razzak delivery in the same over just after he completed his ton.
Josh Davey (7) and Ryan Flannigan (0) were caught in the last over of their innings by Mashrafe.
Following their 3-0 whitewash of Ireland, Bangladesh climbed to fourth place in the ICC Twenty20 rankings ahead of powerhouses Pakistan and Australia.
They next play the Netherlands in back to-back T20 matches on Wednesday and Thursday.
The European tour is intended to build momentum for September's World T20 tournament in Sri Lanka.
