They have tasted a trashing win of 3-0 against the visitors posting a score of massive 330 in 50 overs which was too much for Bangladesh. Thanks to Tim Southee, who registered a 6 wickets haul in the match.

The match registered various milestones with a total of 11 catches caught by both the teams where New Zealand took 7 of them. Ross Tylor surpassed the record of most number of runs by a New Zealand player surpassing the previous record of Stefen Fleming. Sabbir Rahaman registered his first ODI hundred.

New Zealand did not get a good start with Colin Munro being dismissed at 8 by Bangladesh skipper raising the question of his inclusion in the World Cup squad. Martin Guptill got another typical Guptill start and was supported by other batsmen in the likes of Nicholas who was trying to cement his position in the team by capitalizing every opportunity he got.

This team and current form of New Zealand players’, makes them a strong contender for World Cup title. But, it is very important to see how these players keep themselves and their form in upcoming IPL given that many players have gone unsold.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, has not even won one match against the blackcaps in this series. They kept taking wickets at regular interval but failed to stop the runs. Their batting line up started to fail from the first over of the Bangladesh innings.

Tim Southee struck 3 wickets in his first 2 overs. A reckless shot by Tamim Iqbal was caught by Latham on the second delivery of the innings. Soumya Sarkar got bowled by a beautiful inswinger. He struck again, this time the wicket of Lyton Das who was given LBW to a good length delivery shaping back in.

Bangladesh lost their hope to chase the target with the wicket of Mortaza. The only positive thing that happened with them was the form of Sabbir Rahman, who struck his maiden ODI century. However, the knock seemed rather personal than for the team.
