Guess Shakib will be the MOM
Must question the poor show by NZ batsmen.

Congrats to BD.
NZ needs to bat better and they can give themselves a chance to come back in the series as their spinners were pretty decent today.

Bangladesh registered their first T20I victory over New Zealand after bowling them out for the visitors' joint-lowest total and went 1-0 up in the five-match series.
New Zealand's inexperience showed when they took the field in the first T20I on Wednesday, 1 September in Dhaka. In the absence of regular players, the visitors struggled from the first delivery, Bangladesh going on to record a thumping seven-wicket win. It was quite the turnaround for the hosts, who had lost all the limited-overs fixtures against the Blackcaps in March this year.
The turning track in Mirpur was a spinner's paradise as they accounted for half of New Zealand's side and were effective in crippling them at the start with the seamers cleaning up the tail. The visitors folded for 60 – their joint-lowest total in men's T20Is, following a similar collapse against Sri Lanka in the 2014 T20 World Cup.
Mahedi Hasan, who started off the proceedings, sent back debutant Rachin Ravindra for a golden duck as the opener closed the bat face early for a flick and ended up lobbing it back to the bowler. His partner Will Young did hit a boundary to ease his nerves, but fell in the third over to Shakib Al Hasan, chopping one onto stumps.
Reeling at 8/2, New Zealand were pegged back further with Nasum Ahmed's double strike. The left-arm spinner first removed the dangerous Colin de Grandhomme (1) – he mistimed slog-sweep to deep square leg – and then got one to spin away sharply, taking Tom Blundell's (2) off-stump. By the end of Powerplay, New Zealand were reduced to 18/4.
The visiting captain Tom Latham looked to rebuild alongside Henry Nicholls, and the duo put up a 34-run stand for the fifth wicket. However, just when it looked like New Zealand had stabilised, Mohammad Saifuddin broke the fledgling partnership, dismissing Latham for a 25-ball 18. The other New Zealand debutant Cole McConchie also perished for a duck, giving Shakib his second wicket and Saifuddin got back in the next over to remove Nicholls for 18 as well.
The procession of wickets continued with Mustafizur Rahman claiming the final three. There was a double-wicket over in which he sent back Ajaz Patel (3) and Doug Bracewell (5), and he then returned in the 17th to snare Jacob Duffy (3). New Zealand's innings lasted just 16.5 overs.
Defending a paltry total was not going to be easy, but New Zealand fought back with all they had. If Bangladesh thought this was going to be a walk in the park, it was anything but as they lost crucial wickets at the top. McConchie, the debutant, provided his team with the breakthrough, making Mohammad Naim drive a flighted one straight to cover.
The other opener Liton Das was then lured forward by an Ajaz Patel delivery that beat the outside edge and landed in Latham's gloves for a quick stumping. At 7/2, New Zealand were trying to assert their dominance over the hosts, but Bangladesh had the luxury of biding their time.
The home side regrouped, and banking on the experience of their veteran batters, they managed to hold the New Zealand bowlers at bay. Taking their time, keeping the scoreboard ticking, Shakib and Mushfiqur Rahim chipped away at the target.
Ravindra broke the 30-run third-wicket stand to send back Shakib in the 10th over, but it was too little too late for the visitors. With just 23 further runs needed, and plenty of wickets and overs in hand, the hosts continued unperturbed.
Hitting a four on the final ball of the 15th over, Mushfiqur sealed a seven-wicket victory for Bangladesh. New Zealand will hope for a better outing in the second T20I, at the same venue on Friday.

Pretty much went as expected. Congrats to Bangladesh.
Very inexperienced NZ line up with no warm ups. I hope they show some improvements in the next matches.
I dont mind different pitches but i dont think T20 is the right setting for these tracks. Kinda defeats the purpose of the format imo.

Will depend on what the pitches are like for the rest of the series, but even if the batting improves if they're anything like last night I don't think they have enough spinners in the squad to be competitive. Should've sent Sodhi or Santner to replace Finn Allen rather than Matt Henry, who'll be totally ineffective on these pitches.

An inexperienced Black Caps side face a swift repair job after admitting they misread the conditions in a miserable Twenty20 opener against Bangladesh.
The tourists, who are minus their entire World Cup squad for this five-game series in Dhaka, were skittled for their equal-lowest T20 total of 60 in a seven-wicket defeat on Wednesday night (NZ time) in what proved a real baptism of fire for deputising coach Glenn Pocknall and stand-in skipper Tom Latham.
Bangladesh are nowadays a menacing force at home, and were coming off a 4-1 dispatching over an under-strength Australia last month at the same venue. Their latest victory broke New Zealand's 10-0 head-to-head stranglehold over them in the shortest format – which had been a record between any teams in T20Is.
The Black Caps’ 60, which came on the back of the Aussies folding for 62 in the final game of their series, equalled their previous worst effort, which, incidentally also came in Bangladesh – against Sri Lanka in Chattogram during the 2014 World Cup. Of full member nations, only the West Indies’ 45 against England in St Kitts in 2019 is lower.
Now, with game two around the corner on Friday night (NZT), it’s a case of finding some quick fixes. There was some encouraging news on Thursday when Pocknall said power hitting opener Finn Allen had returned two negative Covid-19 tests and would rejoin the squad from quarantine.
“He’ll definitely come into consideration for selection, it’s just a matter of when. He has come off having Covid so there’s some unknowns around how he will be physically,” Pocknall said of the Super Smash top runscorer who made his international debut against Bangladesh in March.
Whether Allen plays on Friday or later in the series, he is the only backup batting option in a pace-heavy squad with seamers Scott Kuggeleijn, Hamish Bennett, Ben Sears and Matt Henry the others to sit out game one.
So, on these tricky, slow, low, pitches, it simply has to be a case of adapting better, and readjusting targets accordingly – even if it’s as little as three-figure totals. That’s something Pocknall, leading the team while Gary Stead takes a break, admitted the players failed to do in game one, even having studied the Aussie series where a score of 130 was only reached once.
“I think we were a little bit too high in terms of those numbers based on the surface for tonight,” he said.
“We probably didn’t quite assess the conditions as well as we thought.
“It showed it was very challenging for both us and Bangladesh. Look, I think if we’d got 25 more runs, it would have been a very interesting, tight finish.
“So that’s the challenge for two days' time – how can we get to 100.
“We’ll have some really good conversations, with the batters especially around what is the best way to bat on those types of wickets. Which we have previously, but now we have experience out in the middle, and you can’t beat that.
“Losing four wickets for not many runs is always going to be a challenge in any form of cricket, especially this.
“We came back really well from that with a good little partnership between Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls [who both top-scored with 18], and I think we’ll take a lot from that performance and the way they batted.”
It was a case of extremes on the debut front, as Rachin Ravindra recorded a golden duck in his first international outing – just as Allen had against Bangladesh during the home summer – while Cole McConchie took a wicket with his first ball in international cricket – just the fourth Kiwi to do so.
Along with Ajaz Patel’s miserly 1-7 off his four overs – the second-best economy rate ever by a Black Cap in T20, behind Daniel Vettori's 3-6 against Bangladesh in Hamilton in 2010 – Ravindra and McConchie showed what the tourists are capable of with the ball.
“It certainly isn’t easy with runs on the board,” said Latham, who was leading the short-form side for the first time, in what was his first T20I in more than 30 months.
“So if we can put up a competitive total and put a bit of pressure on, if we do bat first, then you never know what might happen.
“We know it is tough in these conditions, and if you can apply pressure for long enough then things do happen quickly.”

I don’t see NZ winning a single game with this team, heck their main team would have struggled on these wickets. These kids will just go back with mental scars, another easy series win for Bangladesh.

Pitch Report | Athar Ali Khan:
This is a different pitch, looks pretty similar. There's a little bit of dry grass. Will be very good for spinners. The Bangladesh pacers are bowling a lot of cutters, that's something the New Zealand quicks need to think about. It's not a high-scoring ground. Get in, get set, look to score runs in terms of rotating strike. The bowlers will once again dominate in the second T20I.

NZ should have tried part-time off spin of Will Young rather than bowling 8 overs of pacers who struggled to ball cutters well. Spinners bowled 12 overs for 66 and took 5 wickets as was expected here while pacers bowled 8 overs for 73 with 1 wicket.

Hopefully having a target allows them to settle into a better batting rythem.
Unless somebody plays a blinder Bangladesh should defend this.
I would like to see Ravindra get a good score.

Nasum doesn't seem very disciplined. He got away with Australia and New Zealand. But, teams like India may murder him.

Good to see Mahmudullah bowling. He didn't bowl for a while.
Good part-time option for T20 format.

Don't think this guy has any future in NZ team. NZ should have far better batsman than him.

I think New Zealand need to score a bit faster. RRR is getting close to 9.

He has been touted as one for the future in NZ cricket since his U19 days. He is just 21 and might not become a regular part of NZ at this time but, in future if expectations of NZC come to life then he definitely will. You are rarely going to get a fully developed 18-21 years old player anywhere in the world and it will almost always take time to develop them.

CDG is dangerous. He can take the game away.

No way he needs time to adjust this isnt any introductions. He was also excellent with the ball in case you missed that.

No thanks Space Wuss
You can wear my shoes for a day if you like.
Might be half a dozen sizes too big though.
