Bangladeshi opener Litton Das possessed the record for the fastest half-century in Twenty20s for Bangladesh in his pocket during the second T20 against Ireland at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram on Wednesday.

The wicket-keeper batter finished his half-century from only 18 balls and broke the record of Mohammad Ashraful who had hit fifty off 20 balls against West Indies in 2007.

Bangladesh is leading the three-match series 1-0.
