England's 3-0 defeat in their Twenty20 series in Bangladesh was a real "eye-opener" for the world champions, white-ball coach Matthew Mott said.

From being a constant subject of ridicule on social media to becoming the toast of the town, Najmul Hossain Shanto has seen it all.

"To finish the way we did today will leave a bit of a sour taste in our mouths but it also should act as an eye-opener for us on where we need to improve," Mott said.

England’s World Cup-winning skipper Jos Buttler admitted that his side were ‘outplayed’ in the three-match T20I series, in which the visitors were whitewashed by hosts Bangladesh.   

Bangladesh T20I and Test skipper Shakib Al Hasan admitted that one particular over from Mustafizur Rahman ‘changed the game completely’ as he talked following the Tigers’ 16-run victory in the third T20I against England at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today. 

The last time the current world champions suffered a series whitewash in this format were in 2014 when they lost 3-0 against Australia. Bangladesh, on the other hand, enjoyed a first three-match series sweep in this format for the first time since doing the same against Ireland in 2012. 

Opener Liton Das ended a lean patch with his career-best T20I score while Najmul Hossain Shanto continued his terrific form with yet another solid knock/ as Bangladesh amassed 158 for two wickets in the third and final T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

Opener Liton Das brought up his fifty as he and in-form batter Najmul Hossain Shanto kept the scoreboard moving at a decent pace after Bangladesh got off to a commanding start in the third and final T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

Thanks to openers Liton Das and Rony Talukdar, Bangladesh got off to a very commanding start in their third T20I against England in Mirpur today. 

England won the toss and elected to bowl against Bangladesh in the third T20I of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.

Skipper Shakib Al Hasan lauded the team's effort after Bangladesh registered a historic maiden T20I series win over the world champions England by beating the visitors by four wickets in the second of the three-match series at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Sunday. 

Bangladesh became the only team ever to have beaten a reigning world champion in their first assignment of that particular format since the World Cup as the Shakib Al Hasan-led side clinched the three-match T20I series, with a game in hand, against the ODI and T20 World Champions England on Sunday.

With the Sher-e-Bangla surface offering a lot of grip and turn for the slower bowlers, Mehedi Hasan Miraz, in for Shamim Patwary for this match, turned the screws on England with his best figures of four for 12. 

After being put in to bat, England lost their top four batters, including skipper Jos Buttler, for 63 in 10 overs. Four different bowlers accounted for the four dismissals at the Mirpur pitch, which looks a bit difficult to play strokes.

Phil Salt led a counter-attack from England after Taskin Ahmed struck an early blow, getting rid of Dawid Malan in his second over of the first spell.

“This is a great start in order to make a good team for WC in 2024 in the West Indies. We will be able to put out a very good team when the World Cup starts,” Shakib said during the post-match presentation ceremony.

"As a fast-bowler or a seam-bowler, you probably need a lot of variations to be used. But yeah, that's the way the pitch looks,” Woakes said ahead of the first T20I in Chattogram on Wednesday.

The T20I side has a couple of new faces while some have returned the side after a while and head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that the young team is helping the side get better in an area that he wants the team to excel in, especially in the T20I format.

Shakib was in a vibrant mood himself, joking with the batters as they took turns. He hit quite a few sixes and when there was a close one that just about reached over the fence, the likes of Shanto and Liton tried to take the mickey out of the captain arguing it was not a six.

Skipper Tamim Iqbal felt that having a bad series is part and parcel of the game but when some members of the team do not perform, others need to stand up.
