| 3.6 : 3.6: M Rahman to L Ronchi, FOUR! Full ball outside off, Ronchi slices it just wide of point for a boundary. Good over for New Zealand. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: M Mortaza to M Guptill, SIX! BANG! Top shot. Mortaza lands it on a length on off, Guptill comes down the track and hits it over the mid off fielder for a maximum. Trademark Guptill shot. Meanwhile, the ball is lost and the umpires call for a new one. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: M Mortaza to M Guptill, FOUR! Length ball on off, Guptill punches it through covers for a boundary. 10 off the first 2 balls. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: T Ahmed to L Ronchi, FOUR! Crisply driven. Full ball outside off, Ronchi leans into the drive and hits it through covers for a boundary. A good start for New Zealand. |
| 6.1 : 6.1: M Mortaza to M Guptill, FOUR! SLAPPED! Length ball outside off, Guptill rocks back and slaps it through covers for a boundary. He looks in good form here. |

Taskin bowls it on a length around off gets a little shape into the batsman, Ronchi tries to heave it over the leg side but gets it of the splice off the bat and goes straight up in the air. Mustafizur at mid on paddles back a little and takes an easy catch. Taskin is all pumped. They needed this breakthrough. |
| 8.2 : 8.2: M Mortaza to K Williamson, FOUR! He is just so good. Slightly short outside off, Williamson square cuts it through cover-point for a boundary. 50 runs up for New Zealand. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: T Ahmed to K Williamson, FOUR! WHAT TIMING! Full ball on off, Williamson times it beautifully to the left of mid off and the ball races to the boundary. |
| 12.3 : 12.3: R Hossain to K Williamson, FOUR! Aahh...you cannot bowl there to any batsman, forget this batsman. Nearly a leg stump half-volley, Kane cashes in by flicking it wide of mid on for a gorgeous boundary. |
| 12.5 : 12.5: R Hossain to M Guptill, OUT! Guptill has been adjudged lbw! Brilliant delivery by Rubel Hossain. Gets a length ball to nip back into the batsman from around off, Guptill fails to keep it out and is hit high on the front pad. They appeal and the umpire raises his finger. The bowler jumps in joy and Guptill after having a brief chat with his skipper walks back to the pavilion. He was thinking about reviewing it but probably Williamson advised him against it. The replays show that it's clippi |
| 13.5: T Ahmed to R Taylor, FOUR! Fine shot! Taskin Ahmed misses the yorker mark this time and delivers a low full toss on off, Taylor presents a straight bat and caresses it past the mid on fielder for a boundary. |
| 13.6 : 13.6: T Ahmed to R Taylor, FOUR! A couple of fantastic shots from the bat of Ross Taylor. This time the length is full as it angles into the batsman, Taylor once again gets forward with a vertical bat and forces it past the non-striker's end for a boundary down the ground. |

| 22.2 : 22.2: M Rahman to K Williamson, FOUR! Rahman bowls it too full on the stumps, Williamson leans into the drive and times it brilliantly down the ground for a boundary. |
| 24.5 : 24.5: R Hossain to R Taylor, FOUR! POOR LENGTH! Short on the stumps, Taylor rocks back and pulls it through mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 29.4 : 29.4: Al Hasan to R Taylor, FOUR! POOR LINE! Short ball on the leg stump. Taylor pulls it behind square leg for a boundary. That must have released all the pressure Bangladesh were building. |
| 29.6 : 29.6: Al Hasan to R Taylor, OUT! Williamson what have you done there? There was never a run. Shakib bowls it slower through the air on the pads, Taylor flicks it to fine leg. Williamson sets off for a run but is sent back by Taylor. Mosaddek at fine leg throws a wild throw at the non striker's end where Shakib collects it brilliantly and uproots the bails. Williamson was way short of his ground. The pressure they were building pays of. They get the big wicket of Williamson. Can they build on it |
| 30.4 : 30.4: M Mortaza to N Broom, FOUR! This shot will give him immense confidence. He is under the pump for his place in the middle order and would like to make this innings count. Coming to the delivery, it's full and around off, Broom executes an eye-catching straight drive for a boundary. This shot will make Sachin Tendulkar proud. |
| 33.1 : 33.1: Al Hasan to N Broom, FOUR! DEFT TOUCH! Bowls it outside off, Broom dabs it past short third man for a boundary. Boundary of the first ball there. |

| 38.4: T Ahmed to R Taylor, OUT! Massive breakthrough for Bangladesh, Taylor falls. Clever change in pace by Taskin Ahmed has brought Ross' downfall. He takes the pace off the delivery and serves it on a back of a length in the line of the stumps at 111 kph. Taylor shuffles across the stumps to play the paddle scoop but it comes from the higher part of the bat. It balloons in the air, Mustafizur Rahman runs forward from short fine leg and completes the catch with a stretch. Well done, Bangladesh. |
| 40.5 : 40.5: R Hossain to J Neesham, FOUR! EDGEY FOUR! Length ball angling across, Neesham pokes at it and gets an outside edge down to third man for a boundary. |

| 43.1 : 43.1: M Hossain to N Broom, OUT! MOSADDEK STRIKES! This is why he was brought into the attack. Broom goes to accelerate. He comes down the track, Mossadek pulls back his length. Broom goes ahaed with the shot and gets a top edge. The ball goes straight up in the air and Tamim Iqbal at short third man comes running in and takes a good catch. The move of bowling Mosaddek has paid of. |
| 43.3 : 43.3: M Hossain to C Anderson, OUT! Anderson bags a golden duck! Mosaddek is the man of the moment. Bowls it flatter on the stumps, Anderson goes back and tries to flick it but misses and the ball hits him low on the pads. They all appeal and the umpire gives him out. Anderson walks off but Neesham calls him back and asks him to review. It looks plumb to the naked eye. They go upstairs. The ball pitches in line, hits him in line and hits leg stump. Three reds and the on-field call stays. The dan |
| 45.6 : 45.6: M Hossain to J Neesham, OUT! Neesham is stumped! Smart bowling by Mosaddek. He senses the charge from the southpaw and pulls his length back. Fires it outside off and Jimmy is through with his shot early and misses the ball completely. Rahim quietly takes the bails off and straightaway jumps in joy. Brilliant bowling. Bangladesh are doing great work at the back end of the innings. |
| 48.3 : 48.3: M Rahman to A Milne, OUT! MUSTAFIZUR, YOU BEAUTY! A slower ball followed up by a fast and a very full delivery on middle. Milne walks across and goes to flick it but misses it and the ball knocks over his stumps going through his legs. First wicket for Mustafizur in the Champions Trophy. |
| 48.5 : 48.5: M Rahman to Tim Southee, FOUR! MUCH-NEEDED! Southee walks across the stumps, Mustafizur bowls a slower one. Southee flicks it through square leg for a boundary. |
| 49.6 : 49.6: R Hossain to Tim Southee, FOUR! Hossain will be disappointed with the ball. High full toss on the leg stump. Southee helps it to the fine leg boundary. Not called a no ball for height. A good way for the Kiwis to end the innings. NEW ZEALAND FINISH ON 265/8. |
| 0.2 : 0.2: Tim Southee to T Iqbal, OUT! What a start for New Zealand. They get their first wicket and it's a big one, the in-form batsman Tamim Iqbal goes. Southee bowls it full and around middle, it swings back in as Tamim goes for the flick by getting forward and across. He misses and is struck on the pads. They all go up and the umpire gives it out. Tamim reviews immediately. They go upstairs to check. The replays show that the ball is pitching in line, strikes him in line and is hitting the top o |
| 0.3 : 0.3: Tim Southee to S Rahman, FOUR! He is underway. Southee bowls it on the pads, Sabbir tickles it fine down the leg side for a boundary. |
| 0.4 : 0.4: Tim Southee to S Rahman, FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries. Full ball outside off, Sabbir drives it through covers for a boundary. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: Tim Southee to S Rahman, OUT! Peach of a delivery and Southee has his second wicket. Outstanding bowling, unplayable for any batsman. The line is so good that Sabbir has to play at it. It's around off, Rahman tries to defend by getting forward but it straightens a touch to take the outside edge. Ronchi makes no mistake, they appeal and the finger is up. Bangladesh in early trouble. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Tim Southee to S Sarkar, OUT! End of a nervy stay for Soumya Sarkar! Tim Southee is on fire, hunts down his third victim. He hurls across a length ball around middle and it shapes back in after pitching. Sarkar sticks back to play it out but misses and is rapped on the back leg. They appeal, it looks high but umpire Ian Gould raises his finger. Southee is delighted. This is the best possible start for the Kiwis. Top three Bangla batsmen back in the hut. The replays show it was high, so Soum |
| 9.1 : 9.1: T Boult to M Rahim, DROPPED AND FOUR! Poor from Ross Taylor, should have gone with both hands. A length ball angling away from the batsman, Rahim pushes inside the line, there is some extra bounce and it catches the outside edge. Taylor standing at wide first slip dives to his left but fails to hold on to the catch. It deflects off his left palm and races away to the fence. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: A Milne to M Rahim, FOUR! Not in control of the shot! Milne bangs in a short ball, Rahim opts for the pull shot over the leg side but fails to get it away from the middle of the bat. It flies over the bowler's head and races away to the fence. |
| 11.4 : 11.4: A Milne to M Rahim, OUT! Sound of timber! Take that for a reply from the fast bowler. Brilliant delivery, on a length around off and jags back in sharply at 146 kph to breach Rahim's defense. He stays put to block but is beaten for pace and movement. Goes through the big gap between his bat and pad to shatter the stumps. Big blow to Bangladesh and they are staring down the barrel. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Tim Southee to Al Hasan, FOUR! Nicely done this time! Southee digs in a short ball on off, Shakib gets enough time to go back and pack a punch through covers for a cracking boundary. |
| 12.6 : 12.6: Tim Southee to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Sign of aggression from Mahmudullah. This one is pitched on a length, just a little bit of width on offer, Mahmudullah swings it over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 14.6: J Neesham to Al Hasan, FOUR! Good timing and it just races through. A fuller length ball around off, Shakib presses forward and drills it through extra cover. The mid off fielder runs behind it but fails to pull it back. |
| 15.4 : 15.4: A Milne to Al Hasan, FOUR! Terrific shot! Milne sends across a short of a length ball outside off, Shakib rides the bounce and nails his pull shot to the deep mid-wicket fence. |

| 18.4 : 18.4: J Neesham to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Mahmudullah is targeting Neesham here. Receives another short ball in his half, gets on top of the bounce and pulls it disdainfully over square leg for a boundary. |
| 22.2 : 22.2: C Anderson to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Anderson runs in from around the wicket and bangs in a short ball around middle and leg, Mahmudullah plays an uncontrolled pull shot but still it comes from the middle of the bat and races away to the fine leg fence. |
| 24.2: C Anderson to Al Hasan, FOUR! GOOD SHOT! Short ball, Shakib pulls it along the ground to the mid-wicket fence. These two are ticking along well here. |

| 42.5 : 42.5: Tim Southee to Al Hasan, FOUR! What a shot! Southee alters his length to go short outside off, Shakib latches onto it with all his power, smashes it through extra cover where Guptill misfields and it speeds away to the fence. The required run rate is under 6 now. |
| 43.2 : 43.2: J Neesham to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Lovely shot! Neesham bangs in a short ball on middle, Mahmudullah goes on the back foot and ramps it over the keeper for a boundary. Moves to 96! |
| 44.3 : 44.3: T Boult to Al Hasan, FOUR! Shot! Great presence of mind shown by Shakib. He knows the mid off is in place and hence makes room to smash a length ball over that region. Connection is top class and it's a boundary. |
| 45.5 : 45.5: A Milne to Al Hasan, SIX! Wow, he is a superstar of Bangladesh cricket and he has batted like a superstar today!

Boult hurls in a full length delivery, angling in the line of the stumps, Shakib gets carried away and goes after it with the full swing of his bat. Fails to connect and finds his stumps shattered. End of a superb knock and he departs without finishing the job. 9 needed from 21 balls. |
| 46.6 : 46.6: T Boult to Mahmudullah, FOUR! Hundred number 3 for Mahmudullah in ODIs, what a superlative knock by him. Boult digs in a short ball around leg and Mahmudullah muscles it over backward square leg. It goes on one bounce to the fence. He goes down on his knees, kisses the ground and celebrates his century. What a player! |
| 47.2 : 47.2: A Milne to M Hossain, FOUR! Bangladesh win by 5 wickets! Milne bowls it sharp and quick outside off, Mosaddek tries to drive but edges it down to third man for a boundary.
