Bangladesh have posted 236/9 in 50 overs and it has been a good show with the ball in hand. Mitchell Santner and co did not let the Bangladesh batters free their arms and dominate at any stage in the game. The pressure of dot balls eventually led to Bangladesh losing wickets. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto was the best batter for Bangladesh with 77 runs off 110 balls but the innings did lack impetus. Michael Bracewell was the pick of the New Zealand bowlers, picking up four wickets while Will O'Rourke got two. Matt Henry and Kyle Jamieson got one each.

OUT! Taskin Ahmed has perished in an attempt to hit the ball out of the park. The left-hander miscued his shot off Kyle Jamieson's bowling and Devon Conway completed the catch. The ball popped out of his hands but he managed to hold on.Ā Taskin Ahmed c Devon Conway b Kyle Jamieson 10(20)

OUT! Tom Latham has pulled off a direct hit to run out Jaker Ali. The right-hander was important for Bangladesh if they were to pose a fighting score but now that seems very difficult. Jaker Ali run out (Tom Latham) 45(55)
