Shakib stars with bat and ball as Bangladesh wins 1st ODIagainst New Zealand
By The Associated Press (CP) 3 hours ago
DHAKA, Bangladesh Shakib Al Hasan claimed four wickets and hit a rapid 58 to help Bangladesh win the opening match of the five-game limited-overs series by nine runs against New Zealand on Tuesday at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
New Zealand needed 210 in 37 overs on the Duckworth/Lewis method after rain suspended play after 15 overs when New Zealand was 85-4 in reply to Bangladesh's 228.
But the visitors faltered at 200-8, despite Brendon McCullum's aggressive 61 off 45 balls, which included seven fours and two sixes.
Shakib had already had Jesse Ryder (21) caught by Roqibul Hassan when he removed fellow opener McCullum, and New Zealand steadily lost wickets throughout to damage its chances of victory.
Bangladesh sensed victory when Naeem Islam (2-30) trapped Ross Taylor (42) lbw in the 31st over, and the hosts held their nerve in a tense finish.
Kyle Mills (22) and Tim Southee (1) were unbeaten in the final over.
Shakib's man-of-the-match display, which also included the wickets of Grant Elliott (0) and Nathan McCullum (16), began earlier in the day when he rattled off 58 runs from 51 balls after Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat.
Shahriar Nafees chipped in with 35, while Junaid Siddique added 30.
Shakib was one of three wickets claimed by Mills, while Ryder, Daniel Vettori and Andy McKay took two each for New Zealand to restrict Bangladesh.
Vettori was particularly impressive, ending Nafees' promising innings in the first ball of his second over and ending with figures of 2-29.
The next match is Friday.
