NZ vs BAN: After a disappointing opening game against Bangladesh, the Kiwis are all set to go up against them at Hagley Oval for the second test of the series. This test will be a crucial test match for the defending champions, having lost the first game a few days ago.
Bangladesh broke one too many records after touring the Kiwis and beating them at their home turf. Devon Conway’s magical 122 helped Kiwis climb up to a defending total of 328 while Shoriful and Mehidy tore through the batting line-up. In response, Mominul Haque & Liton Das with the help of others took Bangladesh to a massive total of 458.
Ebadot Hossain did the rest with the ball as his 6/46 dismantled the Kiwis for a mere 169. With just 40 runs to win, Bangladesh clinched a historic eight-wicket win and gained twelve crucial Championship points. After that game, it’s anyone match at Hagley Oval.
