Parvez Hossain Emon and Towhid Hridoy is fighting hard for Bangladesh in the middle. After losing three wickets, the Hridoy-Emon duo has forged a much-needed partnership for the fourth wicket.

OUTTTT!!!! Nathan Smith comes up with the much-needed breakthrough for New Zealand. Saif Hassan tries to clear the boundary by playing across the line but the ball hits the toe end of the bat to be caught by Bevon Jacobs. Hassan walks back for 17. Litton Das comes to the crease. BAN 44/1 (6)

Saif Hassan and Tanzid Hasan Tamim have walk in for the chase. Nathan Smith and Matthew Fisher have kept things tight for New Zealand. Meanwhile, there are a lot of new faces in the New Zealand camp as all the top names are player either in IPL or in PSL. The numbers are high in IPL for obvious reasons. BAN 15/0 (2)

Josh Clarkson hits 27 in the latter stages to power New Zealand to 182/6 in 20 overs. The score could have been higher for New Zealand had Katene Clarke and Dane Cleaver stayed a bit longer. For Bangladesh, Rishad Hossain was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets.

Action resumes after the floodlights are in full glow. The break didn't work out for New Zealand as Bangladesh continue to strike. Nick Kelly, who was steering the innings, is caught by Tanzim Hasan Sakib. Kelly heaves across the line and gets a top edge. Sakib takes the catch at short fine leg. Shoriful Islam gets a wicket as Kelly walks back for 39. NZ 162/6 (18)

The onus is on Josh Clarkson and Nick Kelly to take New Zealand close to 200 in the remaining four overs. After two boundaries off Rishad Hossain, Kelly goes hard against Ripon Mondol for a four and a six over deep midwicket. Ohh no. Both Kelly and Clarkson are walking off and so the Bangladesh players. The light isn't good enough to play and the floodlights aren't fully on. The weather has been overcast all day and there are string winds as well. Play has been stopped due to bad light. NZ 151/5 (16.3)

OUTTT!!!! Another wicket falls down for New Zealand. Dean Foxcroft dances down the track for a wild swing against Mahedi Hasan across the line. The ball kisses Foxcroft's thighs and goes on to hit the stumps. Foxcroft walks back for just three. From 99/2 at one stage, New Zealand have lost wickets at regular intervals to be at 130/5 in 15 overs.

New Zealand are crumbling down. After the dismissals of Katene Clarke and Dane Cleaver, the Kiwis have lost another as Bevon Jacobs bites the dust. Jacobs dances down the track against Tanzim Hasan Sakib, but the ball hits the tow end of the bat to g straight at Rishad Hossain at sweeper cover. Jacobs walks back without troubling the scorers much. NZ 118/4 (13)

OUTTTT!!!! Two wickets in two overs for Bangladesh and its the set batter Katene Clarke. Rishad Hossain strikes for the hosts. The Bangladesh spinner bowls a slower delivery and bangs a bit short of length. Clarke hits straight at the hands of Towhid Hridoy at cover. Clarke walks back for 51 off 37 balls with seven fours and a six. NZ 112/3 (12)

Fifty for Katene Clarke. The New Zealander gets to his maiden fifty in T20Is with a single off Mahedi Hasan to sweeper cover. It has been a gem of an innings from Clarke, who made his national team debut earlier this year. NZ 108/2 (11)

Since the dismissal of Tim Robinson, New Zealand revived the innings with a second wicket stand of 88 runs in just 50 balls between Katene Clarke and Dane Cleaver. However, Cleaver was trapped in front by Rishad Hossain, thus getting a much-needed breakthrough. Cleaver departs for 51 off just 28 balls, including seven fours and one six. NZ 100/2 (10)

Bangladesh got an early success when Tim Robinson was run out without opening his account on the first ball. Katene Clarke pats a length ball from Tanzim Hasan Sakib to covers and the Kiwi batters go for a risky single. Towhid Hridoy, present at cover, hits the bullseye at the striker's end with Robinson short of his ground. New Zealand were 11/1 in 1.1 overs at that stage.

Bangladesh captain Litton Das won the toss and opted to bowl first in Chattogram. On the other hand, Nick Kelly is leading New Zealand in the first game after regular skipper Tom Latham got hit on the toe a couple of days ago. Kelly expects Latham to be back in action in the second game.
