NZ vs BAN Live Cricket Score

1.2 OUT! CAUGHT! This is a dream start for the tourists! Bangladesh bag another one in the bag. Shoriful Islam hits the perfect length on the off stump and makes the ball move away from the right-hander. Finn Allen still playing for the in swinger, looking to drive the ball on the up, gets a thick outside edge and the ball carries to Soumya Sarkar standing at a widish second slip. New Zealand in early trouble. 1/2

0.4 OUT! TIMBER! What a start for Bangladesh. They have their first and Tim Seifert is walking back to the hut. Drags the length back a little, closer to the off-stump line. Tim Seifert looking to create room and cut it, misses the ball completely. The ball stays a little low and rushes into the off stump and dislodges the bails. First wicket down for New Zealand. 1/1

4.4 OUT! TIMBER! Mahedi Hasan has got a liking to the stumps. Hits them for the second time and its Daryl Mitchell this time. What a beautiful tossed up delivery just outside the off stump line, calling Daryl Mitchell to step forward and swing his bat, in the end beating him as the ball dips on him and the ball goes on to kiss the top of the off stump. Beautiful skills. 20/4

1.3 OUT! LBW! Fantastic review from Najmul Hossain Shanto and Bangladesh! A perfect in swinger from a fuller length on the line of the stumps. Glenn Phillips has no idea where the ball is, and he looks to leave it alone. The ball hits him on the front pads with no shot offered. A massive appeal for LBW but turned down. Shoriful Islam is pretty convinced and Najmul Hossain Shanto takes the review. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball has pitched in line, the impact is around middle and the ball goes on to crash into the middle stump. Glenn Phillips has to walk back. What a start for Bangladesh. 1/3

9.2 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! An inspired bowling change by Najmul Hossain Shanto as Rishad Hossain strikes in his first over! A blow for New Zealand just when they were beginning to rebuild! Rishad Hossain gives the ball air and floats it up, outside off, Mark Chapman gets tempted by the flight on offer and looks to carve this one over extra cover. The bat twists in his hand and he ends up slicing it straight to Tanzim Hasan Sakib at deep cover who settles under it and reverse cups it. New Zealand have lost half their side now! 50/5

16.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Not the best of deliveries but Mustafizur Rahman gets his man! James Neesham has holed out and he cannot quite believe it! Mustafizur Rahman looks to go full but ends up serving a juicy low full-toss, outside off, there to be put away, James Neesham does not commit fully to the shot and pays the price. Ends up hitting this one flat and straight to Afif Hossain at deep cover who does the rest. 110/7

14.3 OUT! CAUGHT! Too much drama in the middle and in the end Mitchell Santner has to walk back to the hut. Bangladesh holding the game tight. Short ball from Shoriful Islam at the body of Mitchell Santner who looks to pull the ball but misses out on the timing as the ball rushes onto him. The ball dips towards Soumya Sarkar standing at mid-wicket and he lunges forward to complete the catch and picks the ball up just at the right moment. The catch is referred up stairs and its seen that the fingers are under the ball. Mitchell Santner is not happy with the decision. 91/6

18.3 OUT! CAUGHT! That is brilliant work from Bangladesh and Mustafizur Rahman. Another slower ball doing the trick. Pitches the ball up at the stumps and Tim Southee heaves it up on the leg side and the ball goes way up in the air straight to Afif Hossain standing at deep square leg who takes a good catch. Ish Sodhi walks out to bat now for New Zealand! 124/8

19.4 OUT CAUGHT BEHIND! Tanzim Hasan Sakib gets his first T20I wicket! Tanzim Hasan Sakib bends his back and bangs it in short, at the right shoulder of the batter, Ish Sodhi tries to take on the short ball off the front foot but misses out. A muted appeal for caught behind but turned down. Najmul Hossain Shanto sends it upstairs for a review. There was a sound as the ball went past the bat and yes, the UltraEdge shows a spike. The on-field decision will have to be overturned and New Zealand lose Ish Sodhi! Ben Sears is the new man in for New Zealand! 127/9

1.4 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Adam Milne strikes in his first over and gives New Zealand a much-needed early breakthrough! Rony Talukdar's ultra-attacking approach leads to his downfall! On a hard length, on off, Rony Talukdar tries to take it on off the front foot but does not manage to get on top of the bounce. Gets this one off the bottom part of the bat and skies it high in the air and only as far as mid on where Tim Southee snaffles it with his fingers pointing downwards. 13/1

5 OUT! TAKEN! James Neesham has the last laugh! Najmul Hossain Shanto is in disbelief but he has to walk back now! James Neesham pulls his length back now and bowls it on off, Najmul Hossain Shanto gives the charge again but the length is short as compared to the previous delivery. He gets the proper connection but falls to keep his shot along the ground. Ends up slapping it straight into the bread basket of Mitchell Santner at wide mid off. 38/2

8.4 OUT! TIMBER! What a comeback by Ben Sears. 143 clicks targetting the stumps. Pitches the ball up with pace from over the wicket right after being hit for a boundary. Soumya Sarkar stays on the crease and plays all over the ball, tries to hit a flat batted shot and misses the ball completely. Bangladesh 3 down now. 67/3

13.3 OUT! TAKEN! Mitchell Santner breaks through for New Zealand! Is this the start of a fightback from the Kiwis? Santner hangs this one up in the air, on a length, outside off, Towhid Hridoy steps out but does not get to the pitch of the delivery. He still goes through the shot as he looks to push it away but ends up chipping it towards extra cover. Daryl Mitchell stationed there, dives forward and grabs it inches off the ground. 96/4

14.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Tim Southee gets into the act now! Bangladesh will start to feel the pressure now! Southee bangs it into the deck, at the batter from around the wicket, Afif Hossain tries to take on the short ball but he is in no position whatsoever. The ball gets big on him and splices it in the air towards James Neesham at short mid-wicket who makes no mistake. Tim Southee gets his first wicket and Bangladesh have now lost half their side! 97/5
