New Zealand set a target of 183 runs
New Zealand recovered from an early setback to put up 182/6 against Bangladesh in the opening T20I at Chattogram on Monday. The innings began on a shaky note as Tim Robinson was run out without scoring, leaving the visitors under pressure right away. They could have batted even better to put up a total of more than 200 runs.
Katene Clarke-Dane Cleaver
Katene Clarke and Dane Cleaver then stepped in to rebuild, stitching together a vital 88-run partnership. Both batters brought up well-crafted half-centuries, turning the momentum back in New Zealand’s favor and giving the innings much-needed stability. Just when things looked settled, Rishad Hossain struck twice to remove both set players and pull Bangladesh back into the contest.
Bangladesh’s confidence doubled
