Rain intervened early in the first ODI of the three-match series between hosts Bangladesh and New Zealand at Dhaka's Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium today.
New Zealand, sent in to bat, were 9 for no loss after 4.3 over. Mustafizur Rahman and Tanzim Hasan Sakib opened the proceedings for the Tigers and the pace duo bowled in good rhythm, utilising the conditions and playing surface.
