[2] Although the Bangladesh national team played quite well throughout the match, “too many catch-misses” and opportunity caused the Tigers’ defeat to Black Caps by five wickets at Hagley Oval in Christchurch yesterday, reports Daily Bangladesh. [3] With this, the Kiwis bagged the ODI series against the Tigers. [4] Tom Latham’s fifth one-day international century outweighed rival captain Tamim Iqbal’s 50th half-century as New Zealand beat Bangladesh by five wickets to take a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series, reports thefinancialexpressbd.com.
[5] In a match of odd equivalences, captains Latham and Iqbal were the respective top-scorers for their teams. Iqbal made 78 in Bangladesh’s 271-6 and Latham made an unbeaten 110 as New Zealand reached 275-5 with 10 balls to spare, reports AP.
[6] Latham shared partnerships of 113 for New Zealand’s fourth wicket with Devon Conway and 76 for the fifth wicket with Jimmy Neesham (30).
