New Zealand might want to be taught the teachings from their first T20I drubbing rapidly to be aggressive in the second
Big image
Colin de Grandhomme, Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls received out attempting to play massive pictures. Latham was barely unfortunate in opposition to a wayward Saifuddin supply whereas Nicholls misinterpret a slower ball, and de Grandhomme had the fitting concept, however his slog sweep discovered the fielder on the long-leg boundary.
Bangladesh bowled precisely in between common wickets, which was the primary purpose for New Zealand’s collapse. Mahedi gave them the proper begin, on which Shakib Al Hasan and Nasum Ahmed capitalised with three extra wickets in the powerplay. When Rahman and Saifuddin stored the strain up, it was fairly evident that the guests would have a tough time getting shut to 3 figures.
The house facet would possibly, nonetheless, be barely dissatisfied with how Mohammad Naim and Liton Das received out in a small chase. Naim has blown sizzling and blown chilly in opposition to Zimbabwe and Australia, whereas Das is returning after a little bit of a break. It may get higher because the collection rolls on. Again, their classes lie in how Shakib, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah batted for the remainder of the match, and received Bangladesh over the road with tons to spare.

In the highlight
Mohammad Saifuddin has proven a knack of taking vital wickets, like he did on Wednesday when he eliminated Latham and Nicholls, simply after they seemed like consolidating for lengthy sufficient to present New Zealand some consolation. Saifuddin mixes his tempo nicely, and is not too discreet about his ambitions to seize a daily spot in the Bangladesh line-up in each white-ball groups.
Before he hit a catch to fine-leg off Saifuddin, Tom Latham seemed like the very best outfitted batter to sort out the Bangladesh bowlers on these pitches. He rotated the strike with confidence, and put Nicholls relaxed on the different finish too, regardless of the 2 getting collectively on the crease with the rating at 9 for 4.
