NZ VS BAN - 1st T20I, Bangladesh tour of New Zealand, 2023

So that's all we have from this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time, it's goodbye!

22:28 Local Time, 09:28 GMT, 14:58 IST: A few days ago they had their first ODI win in New Zealand, and now Bangladesh register their maiden T20I win as well. It was another excellent performance with the ball that set it up for them. New Zealand were rattled early after being put into bat, getting reduced to 20/4, and it was hard to come back from there despite a good recovery from James Neesham. Shoriful Islam did the damage once again in helpful conditions, but even the off-spin of Mahedi Hasan proved very effective with the new ball. He knocked over Tim Seifert in the very first over, and then dismissed the dangerous Daryl Mitchell as well. New Zealand fought back and got up to 134, and even made early inroads during the chase as Bangladesh went ultra-aggressive with the bat. Litton Das, however, dropped anchor and absorbed all the pressure to steer his team home. Asking rate wasn't an issue, so he took his time and cut loose in timely fashion to ensure there was no late drama.

Milne to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR, Mahedi finishes it off and seals Bangladesh's first-ever T20I win in New Zealand! Length ball just outside off, he advances and lofts it over mid-off
