Bangladesh vs New Zealand T20I Series
‘Winning three series a real morale boost’
Although Bangladesh completed the five-match T20I series against New Zealand with a 27-run defeat in the final game, the Tigers will have gained in confidence after three consecutive T20I series wins.
Tigers end NZ series with defeat
New Zealand clinched the fifth and final T20I by 27 runs at Mirpur yesterday in a surface that provided much more to batters than the previous matches. Bangladesh, coming into the match having already sealed the series, fought back with Afif Hossain’s unbeaten 49 in chase of 162 but eventually the Kiwi bowlers prevailed with intelligent pace variations to seize victory.

Tigers cruise to series victory
Mahmudullah Riyad hit the runs shot as Bangladesh created history by winning their first bilateral T20I series against New Zealand, registering a six-wicket win in the fourth T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday to seal the five-match series 3-1.
‘No better preparation than winning matches’
Despite a middling T20I debut in New Zealand earlier this year, left-arm spinner Nasum Ahmed has emerged as one of the go-to men in Bangladesh’s spin bowling department.

Bangladesh win first-ever T20I series against New Zealand
After a scintillating bowling display from spinner Nasum Ahmed and left-arm pacer Mustafizur Rahman, contributions with the bat from Bangladesh skipper Mahmudullah Riyad and opener Mohammad Naim helped the Tigers register a convincing six-wicket victory over New Zealand in the fourth T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
Nasum, Mustafizur skittle out Kiwis for 93
Spinner Nasum Ahmed and ace left-arm paceman Mustafizur Rahman took four wickets each to help Bangladesh bundle out New Zealand for a meagre 93 in 19.3 overs in the fourth T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
Poor batting approach costs Tigers third T20I
More than the slowness of the pitch, it was the unorganised batting approach that led to Bangladesh being bundled out for their lowest-ever T20I total at home and losing the third T20I against New Zealand by 52 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
‘It was a good day’
New Zealand managed to bounce back to keep their hopes alive in the five-match T20I series as they handed Bangladesh a thumping 52-run defeat in the third T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
Mahmudullah’s trials far from complete
Mahmudullah Riyad played his 100th T20I for the Tigers yesterday and, in the time since his debut against Kenya in Nairobi in 2007, Bangladesh’s T20I captain has come leap and bounds and established himself as a vital member in the game’s shortest format.
‘Partnerships were missing’
The Tigers showed an underwhelming batting performance while chasing a comfortable target and were bundled out for 76 in 19.4 overs -- Bangladesh’s joint second-lowest total in T20Is -- against New Zealand in the third T20I of five-match series as the Kiwis trounce over Tigers by 52 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur today.
Mushy unlikely to continue wicketkeeping in T20s
There was a little surprise in store when Nurul Hasan Sohan continued with the wicket-keeping duties in the third T20I against New Zealand today. According to coach Russell Domingo, Mushfiqur Rahim was going to take over the wicketkeeping responsibilities from Nurul after the first two matches but after the 52-run defeat in the third T20I today, Domingo stated that Mushfiqur will likely not keep wickets in the shortest format.
