New Zealand beat Bangladesh by 59 runs in the Group D starter of the World Twenty20 cricket at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium. Put keen on bat, New Zealand raced to 191 for three as wicket-keeper batsman Brendon McCullum struck 123.
McCullum became the first player to ever hit two T20 international centuries and also raised his 1500th run in this set-up but it wasn't always straight.
McCullum hit two sixes in Abdur Razzak's last over of the innings to go obvious of South African Richard Levi's previous highest score of 117 made against New Zealand in Hamilton earlier this year.
His innings of today rekindled recollections of his 158 not out in the very first IPL match in 2008, which to this day remains the highest Twenty20 score in first class cricket. Bangladesh could only deal with 132 for eight. Nassir Hossain (50) scored the single half-century of the Bangladeshi innings while Kyle Mills and Tim Southee clinched three-wickets both.
