Bangladesh captain Shakib al Hasan heaped praises on the fast bowlers, asserted that they now understand the importance of pacers.

Taskin scalped four-for and returned a figure of 4-25 in his four overs. The speedster removed Vikramjit Singh Bas de Leede with the first two balls of the innings and then went on to take two more wickets.

"We were 10 runs short but the way our pacers bowled was tremendous. We understand the importance of fast bowling now, across formats. We've found talent, Hasan's (Mahmud) new, Taskin's developed well in the past few years," said Shakib. Hasan Masan also took two wickets for 15 runs in 4 overs, which involved a wicket-maiden as well, as the Netherlands were bundled out for 135 runs. It was an important win, I've played all editions but haven't won. We want to be the best fielding side given we have a young team. We have the belief that we can save 5-10 runs which can make a big difference.

," Shakib added.

Bangladesh will play against South Africa in their next Super 12 match in Sydney on Thursday.
