Bangladesh seek redemption against high-flying New Zealand
NZ v Ban, 2nd T20I, preview

After losing the opening T20I by 66 runs to New Zealand, Bangladesh will aim to make a comeback to keep their chances in the series alive.

Overview

New Zealand v Bangladesh, 2nd T20I
McLean Park, Napier
Tuesday, 30 March, 7pm local time; 6am GMT

New Zealand won the series opener comprehensively owing to the efforts of Devon Conway and Ish Sodhi. After a clean sweep in the ODI series, New Zealand will be looking to replicate the same in the T20I series.

Conway continued his purple patch with an unbeaten knock of 92 from 52 balls. His innings along with Will Young’s 53 helped New Zealand post a mammoth total of 210/3. With the ball, Ish Sodhi's sublime 4/28 dismantled Bangladesh’s middle order.

The absence of key players Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, and Mushfiqur Rahim proved costly for Bangladesh as their middle order collapsed to the New Zealand attack.

On the contrary, the hosts didn’t seem out of place even though they were missing the likes of Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, Colin Munro, Tim Siefert, Trent Boult, Jimmy Neesham, and Mitchell Santner.

Remember the last time:
In the 1st T20I, New Zealand posted a colossal total thanks to Conway’s brilliant 92* and valuable contributions from Young, Martin Guptill (35), and a quick-fire 24 off 10 balls from Glenn Phillips.

In the chase, Bangladesh crumbled to Sodhi’s trickery, his match-winning four-wicket haul ensured a 66-run victory for New Zealand, putting them 1-0 up in the series.

What they said
Tim Southee (New Zealand captain): It was a relatively inexperienced side, but to put up a performance like that was very pleasing. Was pleasing to see Will play so well and also Devon carrying on what he has done at this level. It's great to see guys come out and perform like this. There are a number of guys knocking on the door who are coming out and performing well at this level, that's a great sign for New Zealand at the moment.

Mahmudullah (Bangladesh captain): The bowlers bowled quite well, Nasum Ahmed bowled really well on his debut. Once again, we have let ourselves in the batting dept, kept losing wickets in clusters. We need to pick ourselves up in the second game. He's (Conway) in very good touch, he has been batting really well. We need to find a way to restrict him. 190 was a good score here to chase, we conceded few more boundaries. But the batting unit has to click. Ish is an experienced campaigner, he used the conditions really well, the ball was gripping a little bit here. We can't afford to make the same mistakes again and again.

[Mesozoic]

NZ are looking good for the T20 WC. Don't know why they get underrated so much in this format.

Conway
Philipps
Seifert
Guptill
Neesham
De Grandhomme

That's a pretty good stock of power hitters and then you have the rock like solidity of Williamson at 3.

Their bowling is a bit of a concern though apart from Lockie Ferguson.

Inexperience batting lineup.

 

[OMB]

Guptil, Neesham and Colin have good experience and Guptil is actually rated very highly. Dont know why they do sometimes become subcontinental in their approach

 

[MenInG]

NZ 173/5 (17.5) CRR: 9.7
Rain stops play

 

[MenInG]

Bangladesh are going to have to chase 148 in 16 overs after rain stops play.

 

[WengerOut]

I will never understand this DL rule. NZ were 173-5 in 17.5 overs and even if we are to assume that they are only gonna score a run a ball, that score wouldve beeen 186. Now Ban is virtually 39-0 in 4 overs without a ball bowled.

 

[Rafa]

Crap duckworth Lewis rule.

 

[Rafa]

Play has stopped. The umpires have taken custody of the ball. Finally, they've figured out it's ridiculous that Bangladesh are batting without a target in mind. We still don't have an official target. The number-crunchers are at it. This has certainly never happened before.

What is going on.

 

[Rafa]

Target is 170

 

[Rafa]

148 was a wrong target . The actual target is 170 runs.

 

[Rafa]

Bangladesh lost but they almost gave a scare to NZ when Soumya Sarkar was batting

 

[GenericBrand]

Not that it would matter since it was BD playing, but this DLS crap was a farce.

It seemed like BD came out under the impression they were chasing 148 and then 2 overs in target was revised to 171 (going by Cricinfo).

 

[GenericBrand]

Besides, how do you even let the innings start without an official target being determined.

Got away with it because it was BD, but any other team would have been very vocal.

 

[King_Kohli]

This is the first time NZ won their 7 consecutive international series. Their prev best is 6 in a row in 2015-16.

NZ series after the 2020 break:-
T20I v BAN (Won 2-0)
T20I v AUS (Won 3-2)
Test v PAK (Won 2-0)
T20I v PAK (Won 2-1)
Test v WI (Won 2-0)
T20I v WI (Won 2-0)

DLS revised target was quite accurate but how did they take so much time?
You just have to feed numbers on a computer.

I'd expect it's fairly manual given how messy it can potentially get with multiple stoppages leaving room for human error. Evidently that happened the first time round and no one noticed until after the innings had started.

New Zealand take series after rain-curtailed encounter

New Zealand won the second match by 28 runs via the DLS method, taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the T20I series against Bangladesh.

New Zealand got off to a flying start courtesy Finn Allen and Martin Guptill after being asked to bat by Bangladesh. The Kiwi pair smashed 36 runs before the end of the fourth over putting the hosts in position for a big score. However, Allen’s stint at the crease soon came to an end after he skied a ball off Taskin Ahmed, which was comfortably caught by Mohammad Naim.

Shortly after, Taskin produced a stunner in the field, taking a one-handed catch at short fine leg dismissing Guptill. The next over, Shoriful Islam took the key wicket of Devon Conway having him caught by Mithun at deep mid-wicket.

At the end of the Powerplay, New Zealand were at 55/3 with Glenn Phillips and Will Young at the crease. They collaborated for a 39-run partnership before Young was deceived by Mahedi Hasan and stumped by Liton Das.

New Zealand were 102/4 runs in 12.2 overs before rain stopped play for the first time. They then shortly resumed with no overs lost. Mark Chapman became Mahedi’s second victim after he was caught and bowled in the 13th over.

Daryl Mitchell then added 62 runs for the sixth wicket along with Phillips, in the course of which the latter brought up his fifty. Mitchell too made a quick-fire 34 off 16 balls.

The Blackcaps were on an absolute roll when the rain decided to play spoilsport once again. They had to leave the field on 173/5 in 17.5 overs. The match officials eventually decided to end New Zealand's innings after the rain persisted for some time.

The second innings was reduced to 16 overs with Bangladesh having to chase 171.

Soumya Sarkar’s fighting half-century goes in vain as New Zealand win by 28 runs!

Hamish Bennett drew first blood removing Liton Das in the second over of the innings. But, Soumya Sarkar persisted. The dashing batsman played the role of the aggressor in the partnership with Mohammad Naim. He punished Ish Sodhi with a boundary and back-to-back sixes in the fifth over and continued his onslaught in Adam Milne’s over, hitting two fours and a six.

Naim played a perfect supporting role as the duo combined for a partnership of 81 runs. Sarkar was dismissed by Southee shortly after he completed his half-century. Phillips contributed with the ball as well, taking the wicket of well-set Naim.

From there, the wickets came tumbling down for Bangladesh; Milne struck twice dismissing Mahmudullah and Afif Hossain in quick succession. Tim Southee and Benett added to Bangladesh’s misery, picking up the wickets of Mohammad Mithun and Mohammad Saifuddin.

New Zealand restricted Bangladesh to 142/7, winning the match by 28 runs and clinching the series 2-0.

The final game of the series will be played in Auckland on Thursday, 1 April.

I think they triple checked

It's not manual bro, earlier it used to be but not nowadays.
A computer program can easily calculate it, you just need to feed the current scorecard.

Another day. Another defeat for Bangladesh.

A calculator would be fairly simple for a single stoppage incident (which are pretty simple to do manually), but would start to get very complicated with multiple stoppages or even just for stoppages that end up with a reduction in overs but play still continues.
