Scotland stunned Bangladesh by six runs in their Group B opener of the T20 World Cup first round here on Sunday.
Bangladesh stalwart Shakib Al Hasan became the leading wicket-taker in T20Is after taking his second wicket during his team's opening round T20 World Cup match against Scotland.
Bangladesh are coming into the tournament with nine T20I wins in the calendar year, only behind South Africa who have 12.
The Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday confirmed that Pakistan would be playing two Test matches and three T20 internationals in Dhaka and Chattogram in November and December.
The Bangladesh squad for T20 World Cup has no major surprises and features their main players barring opener Tamim Iqbal.
Mahmudullah made a 32-ball 37 not out to help Bangladesh post a decent total on this slow pitch after opting to bat first.
New Zealand was dismissed for its joint lowest score of 60 in 16.5 overs and Bangladesh then recovered from 7-2 to seal the victory with five overs to spare, making 62-3.
The 32-year-old was the top-run scorer in the 2016 T20 World Cup in India with 295 runs in six innings at an average of 73.75.
New Zealand has picked none of its Twenty20 World Cup squad for its first tour of Bangladesh since 2013. Tom Latham is the stand-in captain and Glenn Pocknall the stand-in coach.
Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan and West Indies skipper Stafanie Taylor were on Wednesday named the ICC Player of the Month for July.
Shakib became the second bowler to take 100 T20 wickets as Bangladesh defended 112-8 by bowling Australia out for 62 in 13.4 overs.
Australia have already lost the series, with the hosts having won the first three matches.
Bangladesh won the first game by 23 runs and the second one by five wickets. There are two games left.
A 56-run partnership by Afif Hossain and Nurul Hasan for an undefeated sixth-wicket stand proved to be key as Australia was in a favorable position to level the series despite being restricted to 121-7.
Australia was bowled out for 108 in 20 overs, it’s lowest total against Bangladesh in the shortest format.
Bangladesh and Australia have met each other four times in T20Is. All four meetings have come in the T20 World Cups, with Australia emerging victorious on all occasions.
Bangladesh won the second one-day international against Zimbabwe by three wickets with five balls remaining to claim the series.
Zimbabwe still trail by 337 runs and unless they bat out the whole of the fifth day on Sunday, it looks likely that they will lose the Test.
Mahmudullah informed his colleagues that he is not willing to continue his Test career anymore, leaving the team management shocked.
One demerit point each has been added to the disciplinary records of the players, both of whom did not have any previous offence in a 24-month period.
