After Zimbabwe and Australia, it’s New Zealand’s turn as Bangladesh’s impressive home season continues
Toss New Zealand chose to bat vs Bangladesh
Bangladesh completed their first T20i series win against New Zealand, taking an unassailable 3-1 lead on Wednesday. Victory was hard-fought – the hosts eventually won by six wickets and five balls to spare – despite bowling out the visitors for 93. The series win is Bangladesh’s third in the last three months – they beat Zimbabwe 2-1 in July and Australia 4-1 in August.
New Zealand were shot out for below 100 mainly thanks to Nasum Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman. They became the first Bangladeshi pair to take four-wicket hauls in the same T20I innings. Then with a hint of tension in the chase, Mahmudullah settled nerves with two meaty blows.
