And that's the series for Bangladesh. New Zealand were in trouble from the time they lost Devcich. They lost Devcich and Elliot in two balls, Brendon McCullum and Latham in the space of three balls.
Spinners of Bangladesh created the pressure and strangulated the run scoring opportunities. Though Taylor continued to stay at the wicket, he didn't look dangerous.
Tamim, Mominul and Rahim- all of them struggled, but they managed a few runs between them. The partnership between Gazi and Mahmudullah allowed them to come back into the game.
Batting of New Zealand leaves a lot to be desired and they need to turn it around in the next game
Brendon McCullum, New Zealand captain, says, "We gave ourselves a real opportunity to chase the total down, but credit to Bangladesh that they played better cricket than us. We are having a rough time as a unit. Congratulations to Bangladesh"
Rahim, Bangladesh captain says,"We were 20 runs short on this track. We needed a good opening partnership. It wasn't an easy track to bat on. Tamim deserves all the credit for staying there"
Sohag Gazi is the man of the match for his all round performance.
That's it from all of us here. Do join us for the 3rd ODI. Till then it's a good night from all of us here
