Bangladesh beat New Zealand for the first time in T20Is, skittling out the Kiwis for 60 in the first match on Wednesday.

Shakib Al Hasan made 25 as Bangladesh chased down their target in 15 overs to win by seven wickets and lead the five-match series 1-0.

But it was the bowlers who set up victory with Mustafizur Rahman taking three to dismiss New Zealand for their joint-lowest T20 total - the same score against Sri Lanka in 2014 at Chattogram - in 16.5 overs. Spinners Nasum Ahmed, Shakib and pace bowler Mohammad Saifuddin took two wickets each.
