NZ vs BAN Live Cricket Score

1.5 OUT! CAUGHT! Hossain draws the first blood. New Zealand off to a poor start. The ball just went straight on after pitching up. Mariu is foxed by it as he pokes it away from his body. The ball just catches the outside edge and goes at a good height towards first slip. Tanzid Hasan there takes the catch. 5/1

11.4 OUT! Caught behind! Bangladesh players are up in joy once again as Ollie White departs. Another wicket off the spinner and New Zealand are off to a very bad start. Just when White and this partnership was settling in Rakibul comes and sends Ollie back to the pavilion. Floated delivery outside off, it is bowled slightly slower through the air. Ollie loses his concentration and goes for the drive. The ball turns in off the surface and kisses the outside edge of White's bat. Skipper, Akbar Ali behind the stumps takes it and goes up in appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Rakibul has his dancing shoes on as he celebrates. 31/2

20.4 OUT! CAUGHT! Brilliant catch from Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Fantastic effort in the field. Lovely sight to see the commitment from the fielder. Hossain goes shorter and flatter outside off. Lellman fetches the ball from there and goes for the pull. He hits hard but uppishly to the right of the man at short mid-wicket. It goes quickly on that side of Mahmudul Hasan Joy. Hasan Joy dives to his right and plucks it out of thin air. A budding partnership is cut short and Bangladesh continue to pick wickets at regular intervals. Bangladesh have been very energetic in the field today and this wicket belongs to Mahmudul Hasan Joy as much as it belongs to Shamim Hossain. 59/3

40.4 OUT! LBW! The well-set Lindstone is out of here and Bangladesh have got rid of this stand as well. The last thing New Zealand would have wanted was to see the back of either of the two batsmen at the start of Powerplay 3 but that is what has happened here. Shoriful bowls a low full toss on middle and leg, Lidstone tries to flick it on the leg side but he misses. The ball hits him flush on the pads. He will be furious to get out on a full toss after having his eye in. Bangladesh players go up in a confident appeal and the umpire slowly raises his finger. The 67-run stand is broken and Shoriful finally has a wicket to his name. He has been excellent today and has the wicket his performance deserves. 141/5

25.4 OUT! Bowled! The Kiwi skipper is out of here. Once again it is the spinner who gets the wicket. The scoreboard pressure gets the better of Jesse Tashkoff. Tossed up delivery pitching on middle. Tashkoff makes a bit of room and looks to drive it on the off side. He leaves a big gap between the bat and pad. The ball skids off the surface and turns in just a bit. It goes right between the gate of bat and pad and goes on to hit the middle and leg poles. The leg pole is uprooted and once again New Zealand lose a wicket when it looked like they were getting some momentum. New Zealand in troubled waters as they are not just struggling to score runs but are losing wickets as well. 74/4

41.4 OUT! Bowled! Poor shot selection from Quinn Sunde and he departs without much of a fight. New Zealand losing their way here in the final Powerplay. Murad bowls a flighted delivery on middle. Sunde looks to play a big shot on the leg side, across the line. He misses it as the ball straightens off the surface. The ball goes right between his bat and body to disturb the middle stump. Murad gets his second of the game and he has his arms up in celebration. 142/6

45.3 OUT! Bowled! Shoriful strikes again! After bowling two short balls, Shoriful goes full on leg. He attempts a yorker but it comes out as a full ball. Clarke looks to heave it across the line but misses it completely and the ball goes onto uproot the leg pole. Shoriful has been superb tonight. The good news for New Zealand is that they still have Wheeler-Greenall out in the middle. 168/7

47.3 OUT! Caught! Field holes out. Brilliant comeback from Shoriful. He has the last laugh. After going for 10 off the first two, Shoriful bangs it a bit short. Field looks to cut it over point. He does not time it well and ends up hitting it to the man at deep point. Hasan Murad there comes running in and takes a very good catch. Can't blame Field for going after it as this is the time where batters throw everything at it. Wheeler-Greenall will be on strike as the batsmen crossed ends there. 184/8

8.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Bangladesh lose both their openers in quick succession. Parvez Hossain Emon is the man who has to walk back to the pavilion. Hancock bowls one on a length and takes it across the left-hander. Emon takes the evasive action but the ball brushes the glove and then settles into the mitts of the keeper. 32/2

5.2 OUT! Caught! First blow for New Zealand. The Kiwis have finally broken the stand that was starting to flourish. Full and wide outside off, Tanzid Hasan cannot resist the temptation to go for it. He goes chasing after it like a kid chasing candy. He looks to cut but it goes off the outside edge towards third man. David Hancock comes in and takes a simple catch. New Zealand needed an early wicket and they have got one but they do not have any time to rest as they need to keep doing this. 23/1

43 OUT! Caught and bowled! End of a fabulous innings from Hasan Joy. He won't be able to win it for the side but he has brought them extremely close to the finish line. He walks off to a huge applause from the crowd and also the New Zealand players are applauding his effort. The New Zealand skipper has something to smile about. Tossed up on middle, Hasan Joy looks to drive it straight but does so uppishly and ends up hitting it straight back to Tashkoff who takes the catch. End of a glorious knock from him and he will remember this forever. 201/4

22.1 OUT! Stumped! Towhid knew he was in danger and the replays have found him wanting as well. Good bowling and very good keeping as well from Quinn Sunde. Can this wicket be the one that sees New Zealand make a comeback in this game? Ashok bowls a leg spinner pitching on off. Hridoy comes down the track and looks to flick it but the ball drifts and turns off the surface. Hridoy comes too far out of his crease and Quinn Sunde whips the bails off quickly. The square leg umpire takes it upstairs and replay shows that Towhid is late in getting his bat back in. 100/3
