NZ beat BAN by 8 wickets | Bangladesh vs New Zealand, Highlights And Cricket Score 2nd ODI Match - Commentary

227 is the target now. Is it defendable? Yes, but Bangladesh will need to bowl extremely well. The Kiwis on the other hand, will probably feel they have a golden opportunity to seal the series here itself. Join us for the second half to find out what will happen. A shorter than normal mid-innings break today...

The Kiwi bowlers weren't at their best today. Yes, every bowler did take a wicket but except for Matt Henry and to some extent Lockie Ferguson, none of the bowlers were up to the mark. Todd Astle controlled things in the middle but was expensive in the context of the game. There were too many extras and too many poor deliveries and worsened by poor fielding as well. In fact, extras were almost equal to the number of runs of the third highest score of any Bangladeshi individual in this innings. The hosts have still restricted Bangladesh to a total they will be pleased with but Williamson won't be happy with how they went along with things, knowing it could have been much lesser.

After being inserted, the away side once again got off to the worst of starts as they lost their top order even before crossing 50. Their middle order also failed to make an impact and they were reeling at 93 for 5. However, Mithun along with Sabbir added a 75-run stand which gave some respectability to the score. The former went onto score consecutive fifties. Bangladesh would have dearly loved for one of the two to stay till the end but that was not to be. Once the two got dismissed, the lower order failed to add anything substantial.

Another poor batting display by Bangladesh comes to an end. Now why I write poor is because New Zealand were way below their normal standards with the ball and in the field. Plenty of extras, too many dropped catches and quite a few run out chances missed. Despite that, the visitors have not put up a total which one can say could be competitive on this wicket.

James Neesham to Mashrafe Mortaza. OUT! Bangladesh have been bowled out! Neesham gets the last man. Mortaza moves across and looks to paddle but the ball is a little too full.

Lockie Ferguson to Sabbir Rahman. OUT! Slowing down the pace does the trick! This is a huge wicket in the context, could make a difference of 15-20 runs to the final total. Ferguson who has been bowling over 145 kph so far has brought this one down by around 20 clicks and bowls this outside off. Sabbir is early into the drive, and through his shot by the time the ball arrived. It thus takes the outside half and flies towards point.

An appeal follows and the umpire raises his finger. Sabbir has to go for the review and he does so. Replays roll in and it shows the ball to be going over.

Review time... Sabbir has been given out LBW here. Looked like he was in front of the stumps but there is a chance that the height might be a factor here. Let's see what the replays have to say.

Todd Astle to Mehidy Hasan. FOUR! Bizarre scenes here! The batsman has cut this short ball outside very late and fine to the third man fence for a boundary.

Drinks break! New Zealand have picked up four wickets in the opening period which saw a 7-minute rain interruption as well. They could have had even more if they had not put down 3 catches. The ball is still doing things and Bangladesh will have to be careful not to just collapse here. Mushfiqur has fallen just when a partnership was budding and now, plenty of rebuilding will have to be done! Meanwhile, Mahmudullah walks out to join Mohammad Mithun in the middle.

Lockie Ferguson to Mushfiqur Rahim. OUT! TIMBERRR! Dragged it on. Good length delivery on off, Rahim looks to guide it away from the body but drags it back onto the stumps and gets bowled. The ball came back in sharply due to the inswing on this one. There was no feet movement by Rahim. He does not make most of his reprieve which he got.

Matt Henry to Mushfiqur Rahim. DROPPED! Through the hands! That went to the fielder like a rocket but should have been taken. The short ball ploy to Rahim almost worked.

Mushfiqur Rahim is in at number 4.

Matt Henry to Tamim Iqbal. OUT! Umpire's call and Tamim has to walk back. He though does not take a review with him. Both the Kiwi new ball bowlers have struck now. However, Henry has got the big fish. The length was the key here, he has been getting it full from the last few deliveries and he gets the reward. This pitches on middle and it is just ahead of a good length. Comes back in. Tamim plants his front foot across and looks to flick, misses to get hit on the front pad. An appeal and the umpire agrees. Tamim reviews after a chat with his partner. Replays show that the on-field call is the right one. Both the openers back without making an impact and Bangladesh in trouble here.

Review time... Tamim has been ruled out LBW here. He looks plumb in front but he wants to try his luck with the DRS. Height is the only thing that can save him here...

Update 1125 local - The covers (read cover) are being removed now. A clothed rope is being run across to remove the wetness from the outfield. Hopefully, we should be resuming real quick!

The rain has increased and the players are going off. The groundsmen are rushing onto the field with the covers. It looks like a passing shower though. And just as the players make their way out of the ground, the rain seems to have disappeared. The umpires take a U-turn and come back towards the pitch which is currently covered.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Edged but a run! Another length ball and once again it shapes away. Iqbal looks to defend but the ball goes off the outside edge towards third man for a single.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Leading edge! On a length and around off, it shapes away a little. Iqbal plays it with a closed face of the bat. The ball takes the leading edge and goes towards point. Not good from Tamim, he got out playing with a closed face in the first game, he should not be repeating the same.

Soumya Sarkar is the new man in.

Trent Boult to Liton Das. OUT! In the air... and what a catch! Lockie Ferguson has taken a brilliant catch. Liton Das departs on the very first ball he faces from Boult. Das uses his feet to cover the swing. Boult however drops it a little shorter than the length he was bowling in his first over. Das plays a nothing shot, he ends up chipping it over mid off. For a second he might have thought he would get away but Lockie Ferguson backtracks, keeps his eyes on the ball and takes it nicely. Never easy those. Another failure for Das and the Kiwis strike early.

Matt Henry to Tamim Iqbal. Length delivery on leg, Tamim flicks it through square leg. The batsmen pick up a couple.

Matt Henry to Tamim Iqbal. RUN OUT CHANCE! MISSED! Length delivery on off, Iqbal plays it towards covers. He goes for an unnecessary single and is halfway down the track. However, Das sends him back.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Squares him up! An excellent nut to end the over. Length and it shapes away late. It is on off hence Tamim has to play but the away movement beats the outside edge of Tamim's bat. A maiden to begin with and a good one by Boult.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Extra bounce there! Bends his back on this one, lands it on off, it takes off. Tamim tries to defend but taking a hand off the handle, the ball hits the higher portion of the bat.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. A solid looking defensive stroke that. On the off pole, Tamim defends it with a straight bat.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. A bumper and a well-directed one. Tamim ducks under it. A surprise short delivery that, don't think Tamim was expecting him to go short so early. He though evades it well.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Slants it away once again but the line is a little too wide outside off, left alone.

Trent Boult to Tamim Iqbal. Yes, he does, just a little shape outwards. He goes fuller, Tamim however, plants his front foot ahead and strokes it to covers.

TOSS - New Zealand won the toss and elect to field.

Hello and a warm welcome to the 2nd ODI between New Zealand and Bangladesh at Christchurch. The first match was a one-sided match where the Kiwis came out on top. It is a must-win game for the visitors and one would expect a better show from them. The hosts on the other hand would like to wrap up the series here itself. Will it be 2-0 in favour of the hosts or will Bangladesh bounce back? Stay tuned for the toss.
