Player Of The Match
  • 19.6

    Ripon Mondol to Josh Clarkson. Reverse Swing-In length ball, outside off stump on the front foot slog sweeping, well timed in the air under control to deep mid wicket for 2 runs, run save by Hassan, fielded by Patwary. That brings us to the end of the first innings. New Zealand have posted a competitive total after being put in to bat. Katene Clarke and Dane Cleaver steadied the innings with a well-constructed 88-run partnership following the early dismissal of Robinson. Josh Clarkson then provided a valuable late cameo, pushing the total past the 180 mark. Bangladesh managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals, with every bowler contributing except Ripon Mondol, while Rishad Hossain was the standout with two scalps. Join us shortly for what promises to be an exciting run chase.
