Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan has made a dramatic leap in the ICC T20I batting rankings, jumping 29 places to 98th after a powerful half-century in the second match of the ongoing series against the UAE. The 24-year-old scored 59 off 33 balls, smashing eight fours and three sixes in a narrow two-run defeat in Sharjah.

- Jaker Ali climbed six spots to 82nd after scoring 13 and 18.
- Liton Das, with scores of 11 and 40, rose one place to 49th.
- Towhid Hridoy, following 20 and 45-run knocks, moved up to joint 29th, sharing the spot with West Indies’ Shai Hope.
- Parvez Hossain Emon, despite a century in the series opener, remains outside the top 100.
In the bowling department:
- Mustafizur Rahman rose one place to 25th after a solid 2-for-17 performance.
- Tanzim Hasan Sakib moved to 40th with three wickets across two matches.
- Shoriful Islam climbed to 76th after taking two wickets in the second game.
