 | Bangladesh won their first ever Twenty20
28 November, 2006
Bangladesh won their first ever Twenty20 international by 43 runs after keeping Zimbabwe at bay in Khulna.
Zimbabwe's decision to bowl first was exposed as the Tigers racked up 166 all out, with lower-order bat Mashrafe Mortaza hitting 36 from 26 balls.
After three early wickets fell, including one for Mortaza, Hamilton Masakadza (35) and Sean Williams (38) put on 54 in nine overs.
But spinner Abdur Razzak took 3-15 as the tourists were held to 123-9.
The sides now play five 50-over internationals, with the first at the same venue on Thursday.
