In their third ICC World Cup match against New Zealand in Chennai, Bangladesh managed to post 245 for nine.
New Zealand won the toss and elected to field first. However, Bangladesh struggled to set a challenging total.
The Tigers lost their first wicket -ff the first ball when Litton Das, taking a few strides forward, executed a stylish shot off his pads. The ball traveled well but found a fielder. Trent Boult's inswing contributed to the misdirection. The bowler, looking surprised, wore a broad smile.
Following Litton, Tanzid Hasan Tamim fell quickly. The delivery was an impressive 144 kilometers per hour. Tanzid's attempted drive only managed to reach square leg for an easy catch. He departed after scoring 16 off 17 balls.
Mushfiqur Rahim emerged as the top scorer for Bangladesh, notching up 66 off 75 balls, including six fours and two sixes.
Shakib Al Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz contributed with 40 and 30 runs, respectively.
In the final stretch, Mahmudullah Riyad's 41 runs helped Bangladesh reach a total of 245.
For New Zealand, Lockie Ferguson secured three wickets, while Trent Boult and Matt Henry took two each.
