The Netherlands player Sybrand Engelbrecht came up with a magnificent effort on the field during the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 game against Bangladesh. The match between the two teams is underway at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.

The Netherlands opted to field first and they have been sensational with the ball in the ongoing game against Bangladesh. Aryan Dutt has taken the team off to a dream start with the ball as he picked two early wickets for his team at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.

After he removed Bangladesh skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, he made sure that he chips in again as he went on to remove Litton Das as well. But the credit for that wicket goes to Sybrand Engelbrecht, who produced a brilliant catch in the field to send the batter packing for a low total.

During the 1st ball of the 4th over, Aryan Dutt bowled an in-drifter on a fullish length outside off. Litton Das shuffled across and got low to slog sweep. The ball got quite high in the air and it seemed that it would land safely as there was no around.

However, Sybrand Engelbrecht had other ideas as he printed swiftly to his left from a deep square leg and dived across with outstretched hands to pull off a stunning catch. With the kind of effort that he put in, it potentially has been the catch of the tournament.

Here's the video:

Litton Das' torrid run in the T20 World Cup 2024 continued as he bagged another low score in the tournament. The senior batter managed 1 run off two balls. With his wicket, Bangladesh was left tottering at 23/2 at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown, St Vincent.

Litton Das has been extremely torrid against Spin in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024. The batter in the three innings against Bangladesh scored 20 runs off 25 balls and got out three times. He averages 6.67 and has a strike rate of just 80.

After Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan perishes after a valiant start

After Litton got out, Bangladesh was jolted by the blow of Tanzid Hasan. The opening batter batted brilliantly but couldn't convert the start that he got. He played some crisp shots and with the way he was going, he looked set for a big knock.

But this wasn't the case as he was removed by Paul van Meekeren. He bowled a short ball to which Tanzid Hasan went after the pull. But he hit against the wind and paid the price for it as he also didn't have power behind it.

Bas de Leede came running in deep backward square leg to complete the catch. Tanzid Hasan provided a vital start to his team with the bat. The batter scored 35 runs off 26 balls and batted with a strike rate of around 135, hitting 5 fours and 1 six in his innings. With his wicket, Bangladesh lost the third wicket for 71 runs.
