Each of casual spinners Shakib Al Hasan and Naeem Islam bagged two wickets apiece, both giving 20 runs. Paceman Mashrafe Mortaza got the other wicket of Scott Styris (0), while Tim Southee (0) was run out by Shahadat. Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field on a moisture-dampened wicket but New Zealand started confidently, hitting 31 runs off the first seven overs before losing opener Brendon McCullum (12). New Zealand lost three more wickets in 15 overs when Jamie How (0), Jesse Ryder (30) Styris (0) went back to dressing room, before Daniel Flynn (25) helped advance the score to 86.
