New Zealand v Bangladesh Dec 17-Dec 31 2023 3 ODIs & 3 T20s

[Plugger35]

Now Shoriful gets Finn Allen for just 1.

We need a rescue job now from Mitchell and Phillips.

 

[Plugger35]

Now Phillips gone for a first ball duck padding up to Shoriful.

Our batsmen must be getting batting tips from Chris Martin.

 

[Plugger35]

It's all up to Neesham to get us to a competitive total now that he is batting with the tail.

 

[Cleavy]

pretty fair effort to reach 9/134 after being 3 for 1 and 4 for 20.

 

[Plugger35]

I don't think that total of 134 will be enough but with Bangladesh losing a couple of wickets in the first 5 overs we are in with a chance.

 

[Plugger35]

Bangladesh getting the speed wobbles after a couple of wickets from Santner and Southee.

 

[NYRB]

Bnagladesh get their maiden T20 win in New Zealand over New Zealand.

Lead the best of 3 series 1-0.

 

[Plugger35]

Our bowlers did their best to make that a contest but our batsmen didn't make enough runs, losing those 3 early wickets made it tough.

Bangladesh have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Plugger35]

Hopefully we get off to a better start than the last game..

It would be hard to get off to a worse one.

 

[Plugger35]

Finn Allen gone early again.

Might be time to give Tim Robinson a call up.

 

[NYRB]

NZ 54/1 in the powerplay, good platform for NZ to launch.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Off for rain. I'm 100km up the coast from Mt Maunganui and it's been pissing down for about 2 hours. Wouldn't surprise me if they are done for the night.

 

[Plugger35]

It looks like the rain will ruin another game in NZ, at least there is a Big Bash game to watch tonight at a stadium in Melbourne with a roof.

They should probably look at building one of those, they built a rugby stadium in Dunedin with a roof but it isn't suitable for playing cricket.

No chance they build a covered cricket stadium in NZ. Don't get the crowds to support it.

The stadium in Melbourne is an AFL ground firstly anyway.

From Cricbuzz for Game 2:

20:27 Local Time, 07:27 GMT, 12:57 IST: Not raining at the moment. Might be a very faint drizzle at best. Mehidy takes his time to take some pictures with the fans. The rain radar suggests more on the way. The cut-off time for a 5-over game is 22:28, so still we have got two hours more.

 

[NYRB]

And game 2 of the T20 series has been called off.

NZ cannot win the series now.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Bangladesh all out 110 in the last over in the third match.

NZ should chase that comfortably. Should.

 

[NYRB]

Professional performance from Black Caps , impressed with Sears and Sodhi was stingy with his bowling at Bay Oval.

 

[Plugger35]

It should be an easy run chase for NZ to win this game and square the series.

It looks like a pitch with something in it for the bowlers though so it may not be as easy as it looks.

Santner the pick of the bowlers I thought with 4/16 off his 4 overs but all the bowlers made good contributions.

 

[Plugger35]

We are making hard work of this run chase with Seifert, Mitchell and Phillips all gone with just 30 runs on the board.

 

[akkaps]

This game is getting really interesting right now

Chapman did the right thing to run himself out considering that Allen is the only player to score any runs

 

[Plugger35]

Chapman run out after a mid pitch collision with Finn Allen.

Bangladesh are a big chance now.

Hello….

Bangers are screaming back into this.
