New Zealand had a composed performance in the first ODI and scored 247/8, winning by 26 runs. Henry Nicholls played a steady innings of 68 runs, while Dean Foxcroft added 59 runs and earned player of the match honours. Meanwhile, Bangladesh’s bowlers showed discipline, with Shoriful Islam taking 2 for 27 and Rishad Hossain and Taskin Ahmed both taking two wickets each. While chasing the target, Bangladesh reached 221 runs in 48.3 overs as Saif Hasan scored 57 runs and Tauheed Hridoy contributed 55 runs. However, Blair Tickner effectively led the bowling attack with figures of 4/40 and as a result, New Zealand maintained control throughout the innings.

Bangladesh will now focus on improving the stability of their top order, after early setbacks had derailed their previous chase. Mehdi Hasan Miraj will guide the batting unit, while experienced players like Nazmul Hossain Shanto and Liton Das will aim to make strong contributions. Apart from this, Mustafizur Rahman and Nahid Rana will aim for early successes with the ball. New Zealand, on the other hand, will rely on their balanced lineup, where Foxcroft and Josh Clarkson will strengthen the middle order, while Nathan Smith will continue to play a key role in the bowling unit. As a result, both teams will go into this match with clear intentions, as Bangladesh will be aiming to make a comeback and New Zealand will be looking to secure the series in Dhaka.
