Bangladesh defeated New Zealand for the first time in T20 internationals on Wednesday, dismissing the visitors for 60 runs in the opening match. Bangladesh won by seven wickets and took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series in Dhaka, with Shakib Al Hasan's 25 runs. But it was the bowlers who set the tone for victory, with Mustafizur Rahman taking three wickets to dismiss New Zealand for their joint-lowest T20 total of 16.5 overs, which they achieved against Sri Lanka in Chattogram in 2014.

Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls led the team with 18 runs apiece, but the rest of the batters failed to reach double figures. Nasum Ahmed, Shakib, and Mohammad Saifuddin, all spinners, each got two wickets. In the first over, Mahedi Hasan struck, dismissing debutant Rachin Ravindra for a golden duck when he was caught and bowled by the off-spinner. Shakib bowled Will Young for five runs, and left-arm spinner Nasum followed with two wickets in one over, including Colin de Grandhomme, who was out for one run, to reduce New Zealand to 9-4.

For the fifth wicket, Latham and Nicholls put on 34 runs, but Saifuddin broke the partnership with the captain's wicket to further upset New Zealand. As the New Zealand batting collapsed like a pack of cards, debutant Cole McConchie was out for nought and Saifuddin sent back Nicholls. Bangladesh, who bowled out Australia for 62 last month to seal the T20 series 4-1 in Dhaka, took down New Zealand for the lowest ever total against them.
