Meanwhile, the New Zealand cricket team is currently on a tour of Bangladesh, where they will play five T20I matches against the home team.
The first T20I of the New Zealand vs Bangladesh series happened yesterday at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka. Recently, Bangladesh hosted a T20I series against Australia and registered a 4-1 victory. The Tigers had never defeated the New Zealand cricket team before in the shortest format of the game. But yesterday they managed to do so.
Not only did Bangladesh defeat the New Zealand cricket team but they also bowled them out for their joint-lowest T20I total of 60 runs. In the second innings, Bangladesh chased the 61-run target in 15 overs, with seven wickets in hand. However, there was one delivery bowled during the Bangladeshi innings that caught everyone’s attention.
