New Zealand win by 26 runs and takes a 1-0 lead in the series. The chase began slowly, with the openers struggling to find momentum. Saif Hassan top-scored with 57, while Litton Das added a fluent 46. Towhid Hridoy and Afif Hossain then tried to steady the innings with a partnership in the middle overs, with Hridoy bringing up a well-constructed half-century. However, the lack of rotation and a large number of dot balls eventually built pressure on the batting side, making the chase increasingly difficult. New Zealand's bowlers were disciplined throughout, maintaining tight lines and lengths and building pressure through sustained dot-ball pressure. Blair Tickner was the standout performer with a four-wicket haul, while Nathan Smith chipped in with three crucial wickets. Dean Foxcroft is the Player of the Match.
