Bangladesh v New Zealand - An emphatic win for the Tigers


The Tigers have taken an emphatic 2-0 lead in the five-match One-day series against New Zealand. In the third ODI, from the word go, the Tigers were on top of their game. They didn’t show any sign of complacency and maintained their positive mood throughout the match.

Shakib as a captain had been brilliant. His decision to bowl first after winning the toss proved worthy enough when Shafiul grabbed the all important scalp of dangerous Brendan McCullum and when the wicket started to lose its life, Shakib immediately started to operate his spinners. Abdur Razzak and Suhrawardy Shuvo along with Shakib simply left the Kiwis clueless.

Ross Taylor and Kyle Mills lifted New Zealand from the rut but the Kiwis were all out for 173. Shahriar Nafees and Imrul Kayes notched up a spirited hundred run opening stand dented the Kiwi’s hopes. A well deserved victory was achieved in an emphatic manner.
