Banglesh earned its first T20 sweep of major opposition, while England was swept for only third time after Australia in 2014 and South Africa in 2016.

“We talked about showing character ahe of series and that's what we showed,” Banglesh captain Shakib Al Hasan said.

“We were put into a tough position but won game. That's thing that will give us confidence as we are build a team for 2024 T20 World Cup.” Left-arm spinner Tanvir Islam, on debut, struck with his third ball when he removed opener Phil Salt for a duck.

n Malan hit a 47-ball 53 with six fours and two sixes and put on a 95-run stand with Buttler, who appeared to be in supreme touch with 40 off 31, including four fours and a six.

But Malan edged behind to give pace bowler Mustafizur Rahman his 100th T20 wicket, and Mehidy Hasan ran out Buttler with a direct hit from point.

England collapsed from re, trying to maintain asking run rate.

"Our fielding was top tch. Those two wickets in two balls changed game completely,” Shakib said.

England coach Maw Mott agreed.

“ turning point was run out, it was an amazing piece of fielding,” Mott said. “You'd back yourself with Jos set at back end re, got his eye in, and was rey to go. It really turned game.

“We lost two wickets in over. I thought we h eugh of a platform that, if one of those two batted through, we would have given it a big shake at back end.” Fast bowler Taskin Ahmed took 2-26 to receive man of match and, when England needed an unlikely 27 off last over, Hasan Mahmud conceded just two boundaries.

England also bowled superbly at death, giving up only 27 runs in five overs to Banglesh, and only one four.

Liton brought up his ninth fifty off 41 balls, n was dropped on 51 by Ben Duckett.

Rony Talukdar was dropped by Rehan Ahmed off Jofra Archer but dam was limited.

Liton and Talukdar shared 55 in opening stand before Talukdar gave legspinner il Rashid a return catch, and Liton and Najmul Hossain Shanto combined for 84 for second wicket.

Liton was finally fooled by a slower ball from Chris Jordan which carried to Salt.

Shanto saw innings out with an unbeaten 47 off 36.

“We were really proud of our one-day (series) win (2-1). That was a massive effort,” Mott said. “To finish 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."
