Bangladesh fought very well with the ball to restrict New Zealand to 265 for 8 in their 50 overs, but the pitch was two-paced and seemed dry, which could work to New Zealand’s advantage as both teams look to win to stay alive in the tournament.
Bangladesh’s best figures came from offspinner Mosaddek Hossain, who Mashrafe Mortaza introduced in the 42nd over. The plan might have been to bowl him only for an over but the part-timer conceded just five runs and was given a second over. That proved to be an inspired move, as Mosaddek removed Neil Broom and then Corey Anderson first ball, before having James Neesham stumped as New Zealand’s middle and lower order slipped.
