Observer Online Report

Bangladesh bowlers did an excellent job against New Zealand to suppress them in 134 runs for 9 wickets in the first match of a three-match series against New Zealand at McLean Park, Napier on Wednesday.

Shoriful took 3-26 and had a couple of catches dropped off his bowling while Mustafizur finished with 2-15 as New Zealand never got into top gear despite an aggressive 28-ball 48 from James Neesham.

Mahedi Hasan, who finished early, took two for 14 while leg-spinner Rishad Hossain got one wicket. Debutant pacer Tanzim Hasan Sakib was expensive, going for 45 in four overs for a solitary wicket.
