Bangladesh won the toss and elected to field

Sports Desk: Mirpur Sher-e-Bangla pitch seems to have become the 'enemy' of batsmen. Batsmen are struggling to score runs in mercurial format like T20. However, Bangladesh has made a good start in the opening match of the second T20 of the series against New Zealand.

Tiger captain Mahmudullah Riyad won the toss and elected to bat first. Two openers Naeem Sheikh and Liton Das have made a good start. They are moving forward by understanding the character of the pitch without batting aggressively.

As a result, the hosts did not lose any wickets in the first 8 overs of the power play. At the time of writing, Bangladesh had scored 36 runs for the loss of 6 overs. Cut the run rate to 6. Liton is unbeaten on 20 off 18 balls and Naeem is unbeaten on 18 off 16 balls.
