ICC World Twenty20 2012 – Match 5
Bangladesh v New Zealand
Fri 21 Sep 2012, 11:00am BST, 03:30pm local
New Zealand win by 59 runs
| New Zealand | 191-3 (20 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Bangladesh | 132-8 (20 ovs) |
Over 20. 4 runs. Bowler: Tim Southee. Bangladesh: 132/8(rr 6.60)
Southee to Razzak. Back of a length, middle stump on the back foot defending, back to bowler for no runs, fielded by Southee. A comfortable victory for New Zealand as Bangladesh finish on 132-8, 59 runs short of their opponents' score. Brendan McCullum was the star of the show with the bat as he bludgeoned 123 and he was backed up by Kyle Mills (3-33) and Tim Southee (3-16) with the ball. A comprehensive win in the end that sends a positive message in this 'Group of Death'. Plenty to think about for Bangladesh, whose bowlers were short of ideas and whose batsmen showed poor shot selection in the circumstances.
Southee to Rahman. Full toss, outside off stump on the front foot driving, mis-timed to deep cover for 1 run, fielded by Williamson.
Southee to Razzak. Length ball, middle stump on the back foot working, hit pad to fine leg for no runs.

OUT! Caught. Southee to Sunny. Length ball, off stump on the back foot driving, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to cover, fielded by Oram. Another one down as Southee picks up his third wicket. Bangladesh need to bat out this over with net run rate in mind.
Over 19. 9 runs. Bowler: Jacob Oram. Bangladesh: 128/7(rr 6.74)
Oram to Rahman. Back of a length, outside off stump no foot movement, shoulders arms to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by McCullum.

FOUR! Oram to Mortaza. Yorker, down leg side backing away driving, well timed in the air under control past long off for 4 runs.

Southee to Hossain. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot driving, missed to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by McCullum.
FOUR! Southee to Hossain. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot Late Cut, outside edge past third man for 4 runs. A decent innings from Hossain as he moves to 50 from 37 balls. Unfortunately for him, the rest of his side have been unable to match his performance today.
Mills finishes with figures of 3-33 from his 4 overs. New Zealand just looking to see this game through in the last 3 overs - they have been very impressive today.
Over 17. 14 runs. Bowler: Kyle Mills. Bangladesh: 111/5(rr 6.53)

It's yet another catch from Williamson and Mahmudullah's resistance is broken as he tries to go big. McCullum deserves that wicket for the intelligence he's shown in this spell.
McCullum to Hossain. Quicker length ball, down leg side on the front foot flick, to mid wicket for 1 run, fielded by Guptill.
A good little partnership between Mahmudullah and Hossain but it's probably too little too late for Bangladesh. At least they're giving the New Zealand bowlers something to think about.
Over 14. 12 runs. Bowler: Jacob Oram. Bangladesh: 86/4(rr 6.14)
