Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan has made a significant leap in the ICC T20I batting rankings following his explosive fifty against the UAE in the second match of the ongoing series.
The 24-year-old left-hander climbed 29 spots to re-enter the top 100, now ranked 98th in the world.
Tanzid scored a blistering 59 off 33 balls, hitting eight fours and three sixes in Monday's thrilling two-run defeat in Sharjah.
While Tanzid had a quiet start to the series, scoring just 10 in the first game, his second-match effort was enough to propel him back into the ICC rankings spotlight.
Other Bangladesh batters also saw improvements.
Wicketkeeper Jaker Ali, who scored 13 and 18 in the two games, moved up six places to 82nd. Captain Liton Das advanced one spot to 49th after scoring 11 and 40, while Towhid Hridoy's 20 and 45 pushed him up to joint 29th alongside West Indies' Shai Hope.
Parvez Hossain Emon, who smashed a century in the first match, is yet to break into the top 100.
Among bowlers, Mustafizur Rahman rose one place to 25th after taking 2 for 17 in the series opener.
Tanzim Hasan Sakib, with three wickets across two games, is now 40th, and Shoriful Islam moved to 76th following his two-wicket haul in the second match. In the allrounders' list, India's Hardik Pandya remains at the top, while Travis Head and Jacob Duffy continue to lead the batting and bowling charts respectively. �"UNB
