The target did not prove to be quite challenging as the visitors scored the winning runs with eight balls to spare. Bangladesh wicketkeeper Litton Das emerged as the highest scorer for his side having played a fine knock of unbeaten 42.
Bangladesh’s Mahedi Hasan was adjudged player of the match for his vital all-round efforts. The second T20I between the two sides, however, had no result as rain washed out the fixture after 11 overs of play.
Bangladesh will now be aiming to carry forward the momentum and win the series with the third and final T20I to be played on Sunday (December 31).
The contest is scheduled to be played at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. New Zealand, on the other hand, will desperately be aiming for a win in a bid to avoid a series defeat.
