NZ vs BAN Live Cricket Score

6 OUT! Taskin Ahmed has taken a beauty! It probably is the catch of the tour! Not a wicket-taking delivery by any means, it's full and sliding down the leg side, Guptill tries to whip it over backward square leg but it finds the inner half of his blade and flies to the left of short fine leg. Taskin Ahmed stationed there stretches out his left hand and voila, it sticks. What a catch! Bangladesh are ecstatic. 55/2 in the Powerplay for the Kiwis. 55/2

4 OUT! Allen is eventually hunted down by Taskin Ahmed. He was looking to attack every ball and when you do that, you are bound to mishit one. Back of a length ball is angled into the batsman, holding up a shade after landing, Finn tries to power it across the line but gets a big top edge. It flies in the air, another tough catch but this time Naim is underneath it and the young man makes no mistake. A quickfire opening stand is broken. End of an eventful 4th over, 16 runs and a wicket from it. 36/1

6.1 OUT! Conway holes out! A rare failure for him. Back of a length ball on middle and leg, Devon hangs on the back foot, lifts his front leg as he tries to glance it across the line. He fails to middle his shot though and it flies off the top edge to deep square leg. A simple catch for Mohammad Mithun and Bangladesh have two wickets in as many balls. The Tigers are roaring! 55/3

11.4 OUT! STUMPED! Mahedi shows the courage to toss this one up in the air and lands it full and outside off, Will Young dances down the track for a big shot but it skids past his bat and Liton does the rest easily. Superbly bowled by Mahedi! 94/4

13.4 OUT! An easy return catch for the bowler. Bangladesh are doing a great job by chipping away at the wickets. Floated and full ball on middle, Chapman goes hard at it and tries to smash it through covers but it skids in to take the inside part and lobs back to the bowler. Mahedi jumps and gleefully accepts the return catch. 111/5

12.1 OUT! Phillips strikes to get his first international wicket! Naim is also out of here and the asking rate gets the better of him. The pressure was mounting on him. Full and floated on off, Naim aims to clear long off but gets more height than distance. Guptill comes running in from the deep and takes the simplest of catches. 60 needed off 23 balls and this match is drifting away from Bangladesh now. 110/3

2 OUT! Liton holes out! Well caught in the deep by Glenn Phillips. Short in length and on middle, Das goes for the pull shot but it comes from the higher half of his bat and travels to the fielder in the deep at mid-wicket. Phillips grabs a nice low catch and Bangladesh lose their first wicket. The shot was on but the extra bounce probably proved to be Liton's downfall. 157 needed off 84 balls. 13/1

10.1 OUT! Southee removes the dangerous batsman! A clever delivery, short and outside off, off-pace, Sarkar hops back to make room and then has to reach out for the ball. Ends up mistiming it towards long on where Milne takes a fine catch. End of an outstanding knock and a threatening stand which was worth 81 off 52 balls. 76 needed off 35 balls. 94/2

13.3 OUT! CLATTERED! The slower one does the trick for the speed merchant. Milne bowls it on a length and in the line of the stumps at 116 kph, Mahmudullah shuffles across the stumps for the paddle scoop but it arrives late to beat his bat and finds the stumps. New Zealand inching closer to sealing the deal. 123/4

13.5 OUT! Sound of timber! Pace does the trick for Adam Milne this time. Good length ball around off, at 141 kph, Afif swings his bat at it but fails to connect and the off stump is pegged back. Milne has bounced back here well! 124/5

14.1 OUT! Caught behind! Just helped into Conway's gloves. The wheels are coming off rather quickly for Bangladesh. A knuckle-ball around middle and leg, Mithun tries to play the paddle scoop but doesn't have any pace to work with. Ends up inside edging it towards the keeper who dives across to his left to complete a fantastic catch. 126/6

15.4 OUT! Taken this time, by Southee! Bennett finally gets his wicket. Slower one, on a length around off, Saifuddin swings his bat blindly and gets a big top edge. Southee settles underneath it at extra cover. 137/7
