Bangladesh Take 1-0 Lead: Hridoy Heroics Sink Black Caps

In a high-scoring encounter at Chattogram, Bangladesh chased down New Zealand’s target of 182 with 12 balls to spare. Despite half-centuries from Dane Cleaver and Katene Clarke, the Black Caps’ bowlers struggled to contain Towhid Hridoy (51) and Parvez Hossain Emon.

The series now moves to the 2nd T20I on April 29, with New Zealand needing a win to stay alive.
