Shakib Al Hasan scored 25 runs Bangladesh In the first of the five Twenty20 Internationals played on Wednesday, they defeated New Zealand by seven wickets. The hosts, who bowled out New Zealand for their combined minimum T20 total of 60 runs in 16.5 overs with Mustafizur Rahman taking three wickets, chased down their target in Dhaka with 30 balls to spare.
It was Bangladesh’s first T20 win over New Zealand after the last 10 attempts. The second T20 is on Friday, in which all matches are to be played at this ground. Fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman picked up three wickets as Bangladesh bowled out New Zealand for the joint lowest total of 60 in Twenty20s in the first five matches on Wednesday.
Captain Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls scored 18–18 runs before New Zealand were bowled out in 16.5 overs after deciding to bat first in Dhaka. The Kiwis were dismissed on the same score against Sri Lanka in Chattogram in 2014. Spinners Nasum Ahmed, Shakib Al Hasan and pacer Mohammad Saifuddin took two wickets each.
Mahedi Hasan dismissed debutant Rachin Ravindra in the first over and was dismissed for a golden duck after being bowled by the off-spinner. Shakib took five wickets from Will Young and left-arm spinner Nasum with two wickets in an over, including Colin de Grandhomme, to reduce New Zealand to 9-4.
Latham and Nicholls put on a 34-run stand for the fifth wicket but Saifuddin broke the stand with the captain’s wicket and shattered New Zealand even more. Debutant Cole McConchie was dismissed for naught and Saifuddin sent Nichols back as New Zealand’s batting fell like a deck of cards.
