Focus shifts to the second ODI - That concludes our coverage of the opening ODI, with New Zealand securing a vital head start in the series. The Black Caps successfully defended their total in Mirpur, leaving the hosts with plenty to ponder before the next encounter. The series continues right here on April 20, 2026, with the action scheduled to begin at 5.00 am GMT. Until then, it’s cheers for now!
New Zealand captain Tom Latham - Latham expresses satisfaction with his team's total of 247, noting that the decision to bat first paid off as the pitch deteriorated and became more difficult for the opposition late in the game. He praises his batting unit for their grit, specifically highlighting the value of small, tactical contributions and Dean Foxcroft’s anchoring role rather than relying solely on massive partnerships.
Dean Foxcroft wins the Player of the Match - Dean Foxcroft wins the POTM for his contribution with both bat and ball as he scored 59 runs and took an important wicket of Litton Das. Dean credited his success to previous experience with the New Zealand A team, noting that last year's tour provided the essential preparation needed for these conditions. Dean expressed his immense pride in the team’s collective effort across all departments, mentioning that while they viewed 247 as a competitive total, they remained wary of Bangladesh’s batting depth.
Bangladesh captain Mehidy Hasan Miraz - Miraz reflects on the defeat by identifying missed opportunities in the field, noting that a pair of dropped catches prevented his side from restricting New Zealand to a sub-200 total. While he praises Shoriful Islam for his impressive performance as a last-minute replacement for the injured Mustafizur Rahman, Miraz points to the lack of a finishing kick as the decisive factor in the chase. Miraz credited Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, and Afif Hossain for their middle-order contributions but stresses that failing to convert those starts into a match-winning partnership ultimately proved costly against a disciplined Kiwi attack.
Time for the presentation ceremony ...
Tickner and Smith slam the door - The final blow was delivered by Blair Tickner, who tore through the lower order to finish with 4/40, while Nathan Smith capped off a stellar day with 3/45. From a position of strength at 184/4, Bangladesh crashed to 221 all out as the New Zealand bowlers' clinical execution silenced the Dhaka crowd.
Bangladesh’s rollercoaster recovery - The chase was a story of early chaos followed by a brilliant resurrection. Nathan Smith’s double-strike in the Powerplay left Bangladesh reeling, but Saif Hassan and Litton Das displayed immense character with a 93-run stand. At 124/3 in the 25th over, the Tigers were the clear favorites, having navigated the storm to put themselves in a commanding position for the second half of the pursuit.
Patience pays off in the first act - The Kiwi innings began with extreme caution, crawling to 38/1 in the opening ten overs as Taskin Ahmed and Shoriful Islam applied the squeeze. Henry Nicholls emerged as the anchor, refusing to be rattled by the lack of early boundaries and nudging his way to a vital 68. Despite a middle-over wobble sparked by Rishad Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, which saw New Zealand stumble to 131/4 but Dean Foxcroft’s counter-attacking 59 and a late flourish from Nathan Smith pushed the total into contest territory.
The Kiwis win the series opener - New Zealand turned a quiet start into a thunderous statement, defeating Bangladesh by 26 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series. While a total of 247/8 might have looked modest on paper, it proved to be a mountain too high for the hosts on a demanding Mirpur surface. The visitors’ ability to roar late in both innings ensured they stayed ahead of the curve, eventually bowling out the Tigers for 221 in the 49th over.
