The shame of whitewash on a large scale | Bangladesh VS New Zealand

 Bangladesh VS New Zealand

After batting in Dunedin, Bangladesh turned around in Christchurch. Even after losing, Tamim Bigred showed his ability in batting. The third match of the series at Wellington's Basin Reserve was Whitewash's mission for New Zealand. To avoid shame for Bangladesh.

But in the last match of the series, Bangladesh surrendered helplessly on Friday. After bad bowling and fielding, we saw nailless batting. The batsmen joined the procession. New Zealand won by 174 runs. The result is the shame of whitewash on the forehead of Bangladesh (0-3).

 

After winning the toss in three consecutive matches, New Zealand batted first and scored 316 runs for 8 wickets. Devon Conway and Darrell Mitchell, who made their debuts in the current series, scored centuries. In reply, Bangladesh were all out for 154 runs in 42.4 overs.

If you want to win, you have to score 319 runs. A mountainous target for Bangladesh. From the beginning, where the flood of runs should have been in the book, Bangladesh joined the procession of wickets. Tamim, Soumya and Liton, the top three batsmen, returned to the dressing room with 26 runs. Matt Henry dismissed all three.

After playing Maiden in the first over, Tamim was caught behind the ball by Henry in the third over. His run was 1 off 9 balls. Bangladesh's team run was 10 then. In the next over, Soumya was caught with a fine leg while trying to pull. His run is also 1 off 6 balls.

Liton, who opened the scoring at the boundary by flicking Tentra Bolt, was confident. But he could not make the innings big. Go back to one of Bolt's great catches. The team's run was 26 then. Liton scored 21 runs off 21 balls.

In the fourth wicket partnership, where Mithun and Mushfiqur had to open their hands, the opposite picture was seen. The target is big, but both of them started playing Tests to settle for wickets. Two failed attempts to repair the innings. But no one was able to find the gap. At one stage the run rate comes down to below three.

Mithun, who could not take advantage of the wicket for a long time, went back to try to speed up the run. Kyle Jamieson was caught in the deep square leg by pulling the ball out of the off stump. He added 22 runs off 69 balls for the fifth wicket. Who played the best 63-run innings in the previous match. Today, Mithun's run is only 6, 39 balls.

The fifth wicket fell for 6 runs. Mushfiqur also returned short. Jimmy Nisham made an easy return catch to the pool. Mushi made 21 runs in one four off 44 balls. Farewell Mirage in the same over. Nisham was caught as a bad point.

Mahedi Hasan returned with 72 runs for the team. He made three runs off 6 balls and caught Latham behind the wicket. Mahmudullah Riyad took the helm towards the end while the wicket was falling. His partnership with Taskin gave the team a hundred runs. They have a pair of 20 runs from 43 balls. This pair was broken by Henry. Taskin returned for 9 off 24 balls. Hakiyechena two four.

Bangladesh's big pair of pacer Rubel Hossain with Mahmudullah for the ninth wicket. Mahmudullah kept the run wheel in motion by keeping one end closed. Leaving the shell, he continued to hit four sixes. Meanwhile, the 23rd fifty of the ODI career was seen.

 

Nisham broke the 52-run partnership off 59 balls. Rubel returned with four runs off 26 balls in 42.1 overs. Mostafizur Rahman was dismissed as the last batsman in the fourth ball of that over. Bangladesh were bowled out for 154 in 42.4 overs.

Silent killer Mahmudullah Riyad remained unbeaten on 7 off 63 balls. Hakan hit six fours and four sixes. Mahmudullah is the only cricketer to hit sixes in Bangladesh's entire innings. Nisham took 5 wickets for New Zealand with the ball. Henry Pan saw four wickets. Jamison got one wicket.

Earlier, after losing the toss, Bangladesh got off to a good start. Martin Guptill, Henry Nichols and Ross Taylor returned in 58 runs. But the next faded bowling and bad fielding got out of hand. New Zealand got big collections in the centuries of Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell.

Conway played an excellent innings of 128 off 110 balls. Mitchell, a three-time survivor of fielders' failures, reached the last ball of the innings to reach the century. He made 100 runs off 92 balls. New Zealand's highest partnership of 159 runs against Bangladesh in the fifth wicket. The hosts made 108 runs in the last 10 overs in their stormy batting. The best of the match is Devon Conway.

Rubel Hossain took 3 wickets for 60 runs for the first time in the series. Soumya Sarkar, Taskin Ahmed and Mostafizur Rahman took one wicket each.

 

The nightmare ODI series is over. This time it is the turn of T20. The three-match T20 series will start on Sunday, March 26 in Hamilton.
