Bangladesh won the historic Test in New Zealand a year ago. It was the first win against the Kiwis on the Tasman side. But the account of ODI wins was zero. Three days ago in 19 attempts, the red-green representatives won the ODI for the first time there. This time the Tigers defeated New Zealand in T20. The three-match series started with a 5-wicket win.
Captain Nazmul Shanto won the toss and bowled to take advantage of the wicket in Napier on Wednesday. Shariful and Sheikh Mahedi took 3 wickets of the hosts for 1 run. The Kiwis trying to make a comeback lost 5 wickets for 50 runs in 9.2 overs. From there, all-rounders Jamie Neesham and Mitchell Santner brought the team to a capital of 134 runs for 9 wickets.
Darrell Mitchell scored 14 runs for the team. Neesham played an innings of 48 runs off 29 balls. He hit three sixes along with four fours from his bat. Santner added 23 runs off 22 balls. Apart from this, Adam Milne remains unbeaten with 16 runs.
