Litton Das surprised all by attempting a big shot off a short ball and was caught out on the very first delivery of the inning. Within a mere 40 runs, Bangladesh lost Tanzid Hasan Tamim as well.
In this ICC World Cup match held in Chennai, New Zealand won the toss and chose to send Bangladesh in to bat.
The delivery was clocked at an impressive 144 kilometres per hour. Tanzid's attempted drive only managed to reach the square leg for an easy catch. He departed after scoring 16 off 17 balls.
Earlier, Litton took a few strides forward on the first ball, executing a stylish shot off his pads. While the stroke was elegant, it carried an element of risk. It travelled well, but found a fielder. Trent Boult's inswing contributed to the misdirection. The bowler, appearing surprised, wore a broad smile.
Kane Williamson made a comeback in this match after a prolonged absence due to injuries.
Bangladesh made a change in the XI, introducing Mahmudullah Riyad in place of Mahide Hasan.
