Towhid Hridoy's Fifty Helps Bangladesh Record Highest Successful Chase At Home
Parvez Hossain Emon: Bangladesh pulled off a record 183-run chase to beat New Zealand in the first T20I in Chattogram, sealing victory with 12 balls to spare — their highest successful chase at home.
Towhid Hridoy led the chase with an unbeaten 51 off 27 balls, his sixth T20I half-century. This knock was also a response to recent criticism. Parvez Hossain Emon (28 off 14) and Shamim Hossain, who finished the game with a blistering 31 not out off 13 balls, were big supporters of his. Bangladesh's start was slow.
Tanzid Hasan got off to a rough start when Ish Sodhi dropped him, but he was able to get back on track. Saif Hassan, on the other hand, fell for 17 runs off 16 balls to Nathan Smith. Captain Litton Das scored 21 runs, but by the ninth over, Bangladesh was still scoring at about seven runs per over. Sodhi then got Litton and Tanzid (20) out in back-to-back overs, which stopped the chase. After that, the momentum changed a lot.
