New Zealand have named their 13-member ODI squad to face Bangladesh with maiden call-ups to the fifty-overs squad for three players.

26-year-old all-rounder Josh Clarkson, leg-spinner Adi Ashok and seamer Will O'Rourke are the three potential ODI debutants named in the squad that sees a major reshuffle after the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
Ashok, who made his T20I debut in UAE in August, will be part of the squad for the final two games with Ish Sodhi playing the first game.

Tom Latham will lead the side that misses several senior players from the World Cup squad. Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway are not part of the squad.

Michael Bracewell (Achilles), Matt Henry (hamstring), Lockie Ferguson (Achilles), James Neesham (ankle), Ben Lister (hamstring) and Henry Shipley (back) were not considered for selection due to injury, while Trent Boult made himself unavailable.

“Josh [Clarkson] is someone who, while still only young, has played over 150 matches for the Stags, developing his skills with bat and ball to become a consistent contributor," Blackcaps selector Sam Wells said.

Popli to lead youthful New Zealand XI against Bangladesh

A young NZ XI led by experienced Northern Districts batsman Bharat Popli will play Bangladesh in a 50-over warm-up match at Lincoln's Bert Sutcliffe Oval on Thursday.

The squad features a number of players who have taken part in the New Zealand Development Squads as part of the New Zealand Men’s Development Series matches against Major Association ‘A’ teams in the past two seasons - including two yet to debut at full domestic level.

Aucklanders Nikith Perera and Samrath Singh will have the chance to test themselves against international opposition before making their potential domestic debuts.

BLACKCAPS selector Sam Wells said the tour match provided another useful development opportunity for the players as well as providing the touring side a warm-up fixture.

“It’s pleasing to bring so many young players together in this type of playing environment and to have someone of Bharat’s experience lead the group.

“With the Ford Trophy taking precedence, this match provides a valuable opportunity for players currently outside their association’s playing XI.

“It’s not every day that you get to play against an international team and I know the players are excited about the opportunity to test themselves on Thursday.”

Sears added to Bangladesh ODI Squad as cover for Jamieson

Ben Sears is to join the BLACKCAPS ODI Squad in Dunedin as cover for Kyle Jamieson, who experienced stiffness in his left hamstring after travelling back from Bangladesh.

The Test squad returned to New Zealand on Tuesday evening and Jamieson then flew on to Dunedin on Thursday.

Coach Gary Stead described the approach as “precautionary”.

“We’re taking a cautious approach with Kyle,” he said.

“We don’t want to rush or push him back, particularly at the very start of our home summer.

“He could play if absolutely necessary but we don’t want to take any unnecessary risks, hence calling in Ben for this first match.

“Ben’s familiar to the team environment and it’s been good to see him back at full fitness for the Firebirds.”

Sears is yet to debut in ODI cricket but featured in the squad for last year’s Chappell-Hadlee Series in Cairns.

BAN 103/5 (16.1)
Bangladesh need 142 runs in 83 balls with 5 wickets in hand as Mushfiqur is gone now.
 
BD needs 77 of 31 balls. They are 7 down already. This chase looks done and dusted for Bengal tigers.
 
Black Caps beat Bangladesh by 44 runs in ODI series-opener in Dunedin

ODI game one, in Dunedin: New Zealand 239-7 from 30 overs (Will Young 105 (from 84 balls), Tom Latham 92 (77); Shoriful Islam 2-28 from six overs) beat Bangladesh 200-9 in 30 overs (Anamul Haque 43 (39); Josh Clarkson 2-24 from 4 overs, Ish Sodhi 2-35, Adam Milne 2-46) by 44 runs on the DLS method. Click here for full scorecard

A win for New Zealand, a ton from Will Young and a 0-0 draw between Rachin Ravindra and Henry Nicholls.

The Black Caps opener – and skipper Tom Latham – were each in imperious touch during the latter stages of their innings to set up an imposing target for Bangladesh in a rain-disrupted game one of the ODI series in Dunedin on Sunday.

New Zealand made 239-7 from their allocated 30 overs, with Young’s 105 from only 84 balls – his third ODI century – part of a third-wicket partnership with his skipper worth 171, after an alarming start from the hosts.

In reply, the visitors needed 245 in a total determined by the DLS method, but fell well short as the Black Caps bowlers shared the spoils.

Young cracked four sixes and 14 fours in a display of impeccable timing which brightened the gloom, and the majority of it was only witnessed by a sparse crowd after many gave up on the chance of a completed match following rain mid-afternoon.

That meant most of the original crowd weren’t at the University of Otago Oval to witness Young cap off his day by pulling off a spectacular catch on the boundary – after initially misjudging the flight of a slog from Shoriful Islam at cow corner, he dived backwards and held on with his right hand while landing centimetres away from the boundary markers.

Skipper Latham was a calming presence, and the duo put the accelerator down when the innings was reduced to 30 overs following the major rain break.

He was dropped by Soumya Sarkar at slip off Mustafizur Rahman when on 18, trying to force though the offside off the back foot. The left-handed veteran made Bangladesh pay for the error, passing 4000 ODI runs on his way to 92 from 77 balls, featuring three sixes and nine fours in a regularly-interrupted stand for the third wicket as the touring side’s bowling fell away under the assault.

While spin dictated proceedings in the drawn test series between the two combatants in Bangladesh, seam and swing dictated terms early among the showers.

After the visitors won the toss and opted to bowl, a sensational opening over saw Young clip the first ball for four before Shoriful struck back twice to remove the two most-talked about batters in the country at present.

Standout World Cup batter Ravindra found the juicy pitch tougher to conquer as a beautifully-placed outswinger drew an edge to wicketkeeper Mushfiqur Rahim on the second delivery he faced.

Under-fire team-mate Henry Nicholls fared no better, also succumbing for a second-ball blob with an outside edge to second slip, after making just 25 runs in four innings in the test series.

The duo are rivals for a place in the test side for the upcoming series against South Africa and Australia later this summer, with no first-class games between now and early February for them to display their red-ball wares, and neither will feature in the three-game T20 series between Christmas and New Year.

A home side bowling unit without Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson from the World Cup side skilfully bowled to the conditions to restrict their rivals’ pursuit.

Visiting captain Najmul Hossain Shanto looked more like a Christmas panto as he was bowled when missing a woeful reverse sweep off Ish Sodhi, while the experienced Litton Das was another to fall softly.

Opener Anamul Haque (43 from 39 balls), Towhid Hridoy (33 from 27) and Afif Hossain (38 from 28) all chipped in but the Bangladesh chase lacked the big scores Young and Latham accomplished.

Debutant allrounder Josh Clarkson faced just one ball with the bat but showed his ability with the ball in taking 2-24 from four overs, while also in his first ODI, quick bowler Will O’Rourke went for 14 from his first over before settling into a better rhythm and picked up his first international wicket with the last ball of the day.

Game two will be in Nelson on Wednesday, with the final match of the series in Napier on Saturday.

New Zealand boosted by the return of Williamson in T20Is

Kane Williamson returns as New Zealand captain for the T20Is against Bangladesh, beginning 27 December.

Williamson will be playing the format after a gap of more than a year, having last participated in the home T20I series against India last November.

Williamson was missing from cricketing action for most of this year after suffering a knee injury in the IPL 2023 and was back at international cricket only during the Men's ODI World Cup.

New Zealand will be without some regulars with Michael Bracewell (achilles), Lockie Ferguson (achilles), Matt Henry (hamstring) and Henry Shipley (back) recovering from injuries.

While Trent Boult has made himself unavailable for selection and Devon Conway has been rested as a part of the team's workload management.

Along with Williamson, Jimmy Neesham also comes back to the squad after opting out of the Black Caps' previous T20I series for the birth of his child. 25-year-old fast bowler Ben Sears, who was recently drafted in the ODI squad as a cover for Kyle Jamieson, has also been included.

"It's great to be able to finish off a busy year that started on the road by having the group together in New Zealand," head coach Gary Stead said. "We've played T20 cricket in a wide variety of conditions this year and it's been great to see a broad range of players making contributions.

"Tim Seifert, as an example, returned to the side in a specific role at the top of the order and made significant contributions in each series he was part of. With a World Cup in the middle of next year, we're well into our planning in terms of both the tournament and the type of squad we might need in the conditions.

"While we're advanced in our planning, as we saw with the one-day World Cup squad this year with the likes of Mark Chapman and Rachin Ravindra - there is certainly still time for players to come into that mix."

The three-match T20I series takes place between 27 and 31 December 2023.

T20I squad: Kane Williamson (c), Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, Kyle Jamieson, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Mitchell Santner, Ben Sears, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee

Kyle Jamieson won’t travel with the BLACKCAPS squad for the remainder of the Dulux ODI Series and will instead have a period of rest leading into the upcoming KFC T20 Series against Bangladesh.

The decision was made after Jamieson experienced stiffness in his hamstring following his arrival home from Bangladesh last week.

Wellington Firebird Ben Sears, who was brought in as cover for the BLACKCAPS bowling attack ahead of yesterday’s game, will now stay on with the squad for the remaining matches in Nelson and Napier.

BLACKCAPS coach Gary Stead said the decision to give Jamieson the rest period was made with the broader schedule in mind.

“There’s a lot of cricket ahead of us and we want to make sure Kyle’s in the best place possible without taking any unnecessary risks.

“As we flagged when naming the ODI Squad we see the series as a chance to provide opportunities to some new players, and Ben fits that category.”

Finn Allen won’t travel with the team to Nelson after being released to play for the Auckland Aces in Tuesday’s opening match of the Dream11 Super Smash. Allen will then join the BLACKCAPS squad in Nelson ahead of ODI 2.

Black Caps trump Soumya Sarkar as New Zealand secure ODI series win against Bangladesh in Nelson

At Saxton Oval, Nelson: Bangladesh 291 all out off 49.5 overs (Souyma Sarkar 169 off 151 balls, Mushfiqur Rahim 45 off 57; Will O’Rourke 3-47, Jacob Duffy 3-51) lost to New Zealand 296-3 off 46.2 overs (Henry Nicholls 95 off 99, Will Young 89 off 94, Rachin Ravindra 45 off 33; Hasan Mahmud 2-57) by 7 wickets.

Spare a thought for Soumya Sarkar.

The Bangladesh opener produced one of the best ODI hundreds by a visiting player but still walked off Saxton Oval having suffered what was, in reality, a heavy defeat as the Black Caps flexed their collective muscles to maintain their roll.

Soumya’s highest ODI score, a superb 169 off 151 balls that featured 22 of Bangladesh’s 27 fours and 2 of their 4 sixes, singlehandedly propelled the tourists to 291 on another belter of a pitch in Nelson.

But the Black Caps were just never troubled in the chase, winning by seven wickets with almost four overs to spare. It was as comfortable as chases for 292 get.

The result continued an excellent run of home ODI form for New Zealand, sealing their record-equalling seventh successive home series triumph (with a game to spare) and extending their unbeaten run at home to 18 matches.

They also continued their liking for the sunny climes of Nelson, an ODI loss to Sri Lanka in 2015 remaining their only defeat from 11 matches in all formats at Saxton Oval.

Speaking of enjoying Nelson, nobody has done that more than Henry Nicholls. He scored his first ODI hundred at Saxton against Sri Lanka and four years later fell agonisingly short of what would have been his second, out for a 99-ball 95.

Soumya went from the outhouse (scores of 1, 0 and 0 in his last three knocks) to the penthouse, receiving a standing ovation from the crowd of 4000 people, not just the boisterous pocket of Bangladesh supporters. Quite remarkably given his talent, he’d only passed 33 once in his previous 16 ODI knocks.

It was a brilliant knock but Nicholls, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra had his number, collectively.

The top three for the hosts all contributed in contrasting ways; Ravindra’s 45 off 33 balls kickstarted the innings and he was in ominous touch, lightning quick onto anything remotely short and catching up with anything down leg, a sure sign of good touch.

Young looked in supreme nick all around the park, carrying on from his hundred in game one in Dunedin as he eased his way to 89 before a tame end lobbing a leading edge back to Hasan Mahmud.

And Nicholls, after a slow start, wound into gear, picking his moments to attack and hitting the gaps nicely before holing out in the deep when a century seemed a mere formality. Still, by that stage, the job was done, and he will be delighted after a lean recent run in the five-day format.

Soumya earlier held Bangladesh’s innings together in the first 40 overs, then unleashed in the final 10, after Jacob Duffy and Adam Milne chipped out the top three inside 10 overs.

When Nelson’s Josh Clarkson got a deflection on a straight drive to run Towhid Hridoy out at the bowler’s end, Bangladesh were in some trouble at 80-4 in the 17th.

But Soumya found his only real support in Mushfiqur Rahim, the pair putting on 91 for the fifth wicket to set up the possibility of a surge in the last 10 overs.

And surge they did, scoring 97 before Will O’Rourke snared three wickets - including that of Soumya - in the final over.

Soumya rode his luck; he was dropped in the covers by Rachin Ravindra on 51, albeit a tough chance, and in the same over by Clarkson got an lbw decision overturned on review after the slightest of inside edges.

But the biggest let-off came when, on 92, he miscued a shot off O’Rourke but Young, at backward point, could not pouch the chance despite having quite some time to get under it.

Debutant legspinner Adi Ashok, 21, bowled tidily. His first over in ODI cricket was a maiden, he claimed his first scalp, and while he did not extract much turn, he was accurate. He suffered at the hands of Soumya - he wasn’t alone there, just ask Adam Milne - and finished with 1-63 from his 10 overs.

Duffy impressed in taking 3-51 from his 10, his best effort from five ODIs, and O’Rourke (3-47 from 9.5) would have enjoyed his final over, even if he didn’t exactly show it.

The third and final match in the series is in Napier on Saturday.

Williamson and Jamieson withdrawn from T20 Squad for Bangladesh | Ravindra and Duffy added

Captain Kane Williamson and bowler Kyle Jamieson have been withdrawn from the BLACKCAPS T20 Squad to face Bangladesh after Christmas.

They will be replaced by Rachin Ravindra and Jacob Duffy, respectively.

The decision to withdraw the pair follows further medical advice and consideration of the team’s upcoming schedule, with a focus on this summer’s Test series against South Africa and Australia.

Williamson will undergo a period of knee rehabilitation and strengthening following his recent return to play in India and Bangladesh.

The advice on Jamieson is that his hamstring injury was best served by a period of targeted rehabilitation leading into February’s Test Series against South Africa.

He will therefore miss the upcoming series against Bangladesh and January’s T20 Series against Pakistan.

BLACKCAPS coach Gary Stead said the withdrawals were grounded in fresh medical advice.

“We want both Kane and Kyle to be in the best possible place leading into the next block of Test cricket against South Africa and Australia.

“Based on discussions with the medical staff and the players it was decided a period of rehabilitation and conditioning was the best option for both of them.”

Stead said Ravindra and Duffy provided strong additions to the squad mix for Bangladesh.

“Jacob is an experienced T20 cricketer and always brings a lot when he is part of the BLACKCAPS environment. He’s worked very hard on his white ball skills in recent seasons.

“Rachin adds to any environment he’s a part of and has a great desire to learn and develop his game - across all three formats.”

Mitchell Santner will be captain for the series in Kane Williamson’s absence. Santner has led the team 14 (13 x T20Is, 1 x ODI) times previously in international cricket.

The T20 Squad assemble in Napier on Boxing Day.

This is really a crazy cricket schedule. NZ just toured BD last week, and now BD is in NZ.
Cricket shceduling is so messed up.
 
Four from Clarkson.

He seems like an aggressive batter. Can he take NZ to a good score?
 
Bangladesh are playing a leggie today. Rishad Hossain.

2-0-3-0.

Economical so far.
 
NZ lose their 7th wicket.

Part-timer Soumya gets a wicket.

NZ - 85/7 (26.5 overs).
 
Bangladesh seamers roll Black Caps for 98 to set up historic nine-wicket win

At McLean Park, Napier: Black Caps 98 all out in 31.4 overs (Will Young 26 off 43; Tanzim Hasan Sakib 3-14 off 7, Soumya Sarkar 3-18 off 6, Shoriful Islam 3-22 off 7) lost to Bangladesh 99-1 in 15.1 overs (Najmul Hossain Shanto 51no off 42) by nine wickets. Click here for the full scoreboard.

You could call it a Christmas miracle – but that wouldn’t reflect the quality of the tourists’ bowling effort.

At the 19th time of trying, 16 years after their first attempt, Bangladesh have finally defeated the Black Caps in a one-day international in New Zealand.

McLean Park in Napier was the venue for the home team’s historic loss – a ground visiting seamers Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib and Soumya Sarkar won’t forget in a hurry.

After their captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and sent the Black Caps in to bat in the third of three ODIs, they combined to take 9-54 off 20 overs, making the most of helpful – but far from unfair – conditions.

Sakib took 3-14 off seven, while Sarkar took 3-18 off six and Shoriful 3-22 as New Zealand slumped from 68-2 to 98 all out, showing little application on a surface that bore a healthy amount of grass.

Shanto then led the way as Bangladesh romped home in 15.1 overs while losing only a single wicket, handing the Black Caps their biggest loss (by wickets) on home soil in almost 23 years.

He scored the winning runs to bring up his half-century, finishing unbeaten on 51 off 42 balls, and said at the post-match presentation he was “really proud” to have secured a consolation win, praising his seamers for bowling in “good areas” for “long periods of time”.

Will Young was the Black Caps’ highest scorer, making 26 off 43 to finish with 220 runs in the three-match series, after his 105 and 89 in their wins in Dunedin last Sunday and Napier on Wednesday.

After accepting the player of the series award, he said the home team’s performance was “a bit of a shame, really”.

“The sun’s finally shining in Hawke’s Bay for a cricket game and we put on a show like that. “It would have been nice to make more of a game of it, but we got the series win and in the end we’ll take that.”

The series win was a record-equalling seventh in a row at home for the Black Caps, but Saturday’s defeat means their 17-match winning streak in ODIs in New Zealand has come to an end.

It was only when Young and captain Tom Latham were together that the hosts offered significant resistance, with the pair putting on 36 for the third wicket, before Shoriful bowled Latham with a delivery that nipped back into him.

After that, they only added 40 more runs while losing the rest of their wickets – to a mix of fine bowling and needless shots.

It was just the fifth time the Black Caps had been bowled out for less than 100 when batting first in an ODI.

The last time was more than 20 years ago, when they made 97 in a loss to Australia in India in 2003.

And the only other occasion on home soil was 41 years ago, when they made a pitiful 74 against Australia at the Basin Reserve in Wellington in 1982.

Including second innings, it was the ninth time the Black Caps had been dismissed for a double-digit score in ODIs.

The most recent instance was against Australia in Cairns last year, when they only mustered 82 while chasing just 195.

They now have almost a year before they next engage with the 50-over format again, with their next scheduled ODI series not until next November in Sri Lanka.

Bangladesh will now be looking to build on their first white-ball win on New Zealand soil when the three-match Twenty20 series between the two teams begins on Wednesday at the same venue.

“This match gives us a lot of confidence,” Shanto said afterwards, “but T20 is a different format and we have to plan for that”.

First ever ODI win in general for Bangladesh on NZ soil against NZ. Never thought it would come! Finally! It took ages, BD had so many close defeats in NZ!


Soumya Sarkar - I backed him and got lot stick. Yes he was out of form but I just felt on flat wickets like the ones at the last world cup Sarkar is a decent batsmen and has the big hitting ability. He does well on wickets with bounce and carry. Plus can bowl gentle medium.
 
Bangladesh have one eye on T20 World Cup ahead of New Zealand T20Is

Bangladesh take on New Zealand in a three-match T20I series starting on Wednesday, 27 December with the visitors aiming to break their winless streak in the format in the country.

Bangladesh created history in the ODI series that they lost by registering their first ODI win in 19 attempts in New Zealand and will hope for the same in the shortest format, where they have lost nine out of nine matches against the Black Caps in this part of the world.

"We haven't won a T20 game over here. This was the same as one-day cricket but then we managed to win the last game," Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusingha said on the eve of the first T20I in Napier.

The head coach felt that the win, which came at this very venue (Napier) in the final ODI will be a boost for the visitors.

"Certainly it will help mentally when you have a good win always you feel good and because you have done something you want to repeat again no matter what the format is and that will give us confidence leading into the T20Is."

Bangladesh have had a good run in T20Is in 2023, winning nine out of 11 matches, with series victories over England (3-0), Ireland (2-1) and Afghanistan (2-0).

They have a further 11 matches ahead of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024 to finalise their combinations and this series will give them a good first look.

"We got 11 games now and then the BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) as well but this is a national team so we are trying to get our combination and give the players kind of roles that they will play during the World Cup and so that's the plan," Hathurusingha said.

"Whether it's ideal or not that's all we got we have to get our plans and roles right within that period."

Bangladesh have only won nine matches in the Men's T20 World Cup's history and haven't ever gone past round two in the event and will want to turn that record around this time.

Black Caps batters crumble again as Bangladesh win first Twenty20 international

At McLean Park, Napier: Black Caps 134-9 (Jimmy Neesham 48 off 29; Shoriful Islam 3-26 off 4) lost to Bangladesh 137-5 in 18.4 overs (Litton Das 42no off 36; Tim Southee 1-16 off 4) by five wickets..

One brings two, lads.

For the second time in as many matches at McLean Park, Bangladesh have beaten the Black Caps.

Last Saturday, it was by nine wickets in a one-day international. On Wednesday, it was in a Twenty20 international – and somewhat closer.

But while they took 18.4 overs and lost five wickets along the way – while benefiting from a fielding blunder in the third-to-last over – Bangladesh did get the job done.

Four days after registering their first ODI win over the Black Caps in New Zealand, they now have a first T20 win on these shores to go with it.

And they will head to Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui for the second match on Friday and the third match on Sunday with an excellent shot of securing their first series victory in any format in this part of the world.

Jimmy Neesham equalled his best T20 international score in making 48 off 29 to lift the Black Caps to a competitive total, receiving support from Mitchell Santner, who made 23 off 22.

But the damage was done in the first nine balls, when Tim Seifert missed one that kept low from Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam then accounted for Finn Allen – caught at second slip – and Glenn Phillips – who left a straight one that trapped him LBW.

It was the Black Caps’ worst-ever start to a T20 innings and the worst by any full member team in 13 years.

Daryl Mitchell and Mark Chapman were the first pair tasked with pulling off a rescue mission, but they came and went for 14 off 15 and 19 off 19 respectively.

Neesham looked set to bring up his first T20 international half-century and pull the Black Caps up over 140, only to fall for 48 the ball after he hit his third six.

Shoriful finished with 3-26 from his four overs, while Mustafizur Rahman made a valuable contribution in conceding just a single from the 19th on his way to taking 2-15 from his four.

Mahedi took 2-14 from his four, but the Black Caps managed to finish strong when Adam Milne hit the final ball of the innings, bowled by Tanzim Hasan Sakib, for six.

Litton Das made himself the rock for Bangladesh to build around as they set off in pursuit of 135, finishing unbeaten on 42 off 36 when they completed their task midway through the 19th over.

Wickets didn't come often enough for the Black Caps, except for when Santner and Tim Southee struck in the space of seven balls to shift Bangladesh from 96-3 to 97-5.

At the end of the 16th over, 24 were needed off 18. That became 20 off 17 when Das hit Ben Sears for four, then 14 off 16 when he followed up with a six – assisted by Ish Sodhi.

Had the Black Caps fielder not stepped onto the boundary rope while taking a catch that would have sent the Tigers’ key man on his way, it might have been a different story.

Instead, it became 10 off 12. Mahedi hit Milne for six, then finished the job with a four.

Now the two teams move to Mount Maunganui – the scene of Bangladesh’s first test win in New Zealand in January 2022.

The way they’ve been bowling, they will have every chance of creating more history before 2023 is out.

Bangladesh won the toss and chose to field first in the 2nd T20 of the series.
But the rain has delayed the match for now. After 11 overs NZ scored 72/2.
 
The 2nd T20 match of the series has been called off due to rain. Kiwis will have to win the third and final T20 match to level the series now.
 
3rd T20 today.

BD - 110-all out.
NZ - 49/5 (8.4 overs).

NZ need 62 runs from 68 balls.
 
The rain has arrived again to spoil the party for the Kiwi team, but they are still 17 runs ahead as per DLS method so they will be winning it surely if the game does not start again.

Seems like a heavy rain. Play is unlikely to start.

If NZ win, series will be 1-1.
 
All over. Game has been called off.

That concludes BD's NZ tour.

ODI result: NZ won 2-1.

T20 result: Series was tied 1-1.
 
Rain washed out the 2nd T20 else NZ would have won the series 2-1.

Black Caps beat Bangladesh on DLS at Bay Oval to level T20 series 1-1

Third T20, Bay Oval: Bangladesh 110 all out in 19.2 overs (Mitchell Santner 4-16 from 4 overs, Ben Sears 2-28 from four overs, Tim Southee 2-25 from 4, Adam Milne 2-23 from 3.2) lost to New Zealand 95-5 in 14.4 overs (Finn Allen 38 from 31 balls, Jimmy Neesham 28 not out from 20; Shoriful Islam 2-17 from 3.4 overs, Mahedi Hasan 2-18 from 4) by 17 runs on the DLS method.

The Black Caps managed to steer out of their own way long enough to secure a worryingly difficult win over Bangladesh on Sunday.

Seemingly set for a simple pursuit of 111 for victory after a comprehensive bowling effort at Bay Oval, the Black Caps almost crashed to a self-inflicted calamity.

Holding the innings together after losing three of his batting partners within the first five overs, New Zealand opener Finn Allen collided with Mark Chapman when the duo chased an unnecessarily risky second run during the seventh over.

Chapman was left short of his ground and run out, while Allen was left on the ground and required medical attention before resuming his innings. The opener was out soon after, but allrounder Jimmy Neesham (28 not out) and captain Mitchell Santner (18 not out) kept cool heads to allow them to level their Twenty20 series.

New Zealand rolled the tourists for just 110 in 19.2 overs, but stumbled to reach their target, winning by 17 runs on the DLS method after thundery showers hit the venue and ended the encounter with the Black Caps 95-5 in the 15th over.

That enabled them to tie the three-game series 1-1, after the visitors won the opener in Napier and the second encounter produced no result in Mount Maunganui due to rain.

It also meant the Black Caps put an end to the run of teams batting first and winning in men’s T20 internationals at the venue, after eight consecutive instances since Bay Oval hosted its first game of that kind in 2016.

With the sun initially on their backs, it appeared the Black Caps would easily reverse some gloomy efforts of late to end the year with a simple victory.

The hosts adopted an all-pace approach throughout the powerplay, which returned three wickets between Tim Southee, Adam Milne and Ben Sears among nine boundaries after Santner won the toss and chose to field, with the threat of rain again looming.

Santner then took over with a four-over spell of command and guile which was rewarded with 4-16, as an opposition side which had played so spiritedly on tour ended it meekly. It’s been a good few months for the experienced left-arm spinner, who had an impressive ODI World Cup and then worked his way back into the test side for a victory over Bangladesh to level that series.

There were some puzzling lapses from the visitors while batting – Rony Talukdar failed to review an lbw decision, which would have given him a reprieve, while Afif Hossain came down the wicket to Santner, only to succumb softly to a bat-pad catch to wicketkeeper Tim Seifert.

Allen struck the first ball of NZ’s innings for four, added a six for good measure in the same over and that set him on his way to 38 from 31 balls as the clouds rolled in, ending a string of low scores for the national side in the format.

He lost three batting partners within the first five overs and then his run-in run-out with Chapman had fans horrified at the thought the Black Caps could yet blow their path to victory.

That intensified when Allen was bowled by the brilliant Shoriful Islam in the ninth over to reduce the hosts to 49-5, before Santner and Neesham steadied the ship.

New Zealand fielded an unchanged XI throughout the series, meaning Rachin Ravindra remained on drinks-carrying duties, but the five-game T20 series versus Pakistan throughout January is set to see the presence of more first-choice selections, with the World Cup in the shortest format the major ICC tournament on the 2024 calendar.

That squad could include regular captain Kane Williamson and opener Devon Conway, along with bowlers Lockie Ferguson and Kyle Jamieson, while Matt Henry is poised to return from his hamstring injury to the domestic arena shortly, after his last appearance came during the ODI World Cup in India at the start of November.

Sears, with his ungainly approach to the crease that doesn’t seem to hinder his ability to bowl quickly, made a good fist of his first international appearances at home. He ended the series with three wickets at 21.33, with an economy rate of 8, and may get further opportunities versus Pakistan.
