Bangladesh opt to bowl first

Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the first T20I of a three-match series against New Zealand at McLean Park, Napier on Wednesday.

The tigers are high on confidence after winning their first-ever white-ball game in New Zealand after they demolished the hosts in the last ODI at the same venue.

However, the series was already won by New Zealand but still Bangladesh shone brightly as they dismissed the hosts for just 98.

Bangladesh XI: Litton Das (wk), Soumya Sarkar, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Rony Talukdar, Towhid Hridoy, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Mustafizur Rahman.

New Zealand XI: Tim Seifert (wk), Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner (c), Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears.
