Bangladesh, who were in danger due to the failure of the openers, finally set a target of 266 runs in front of New Zealand. Shanto-Liton’s 160-run partnership and Towhid Hridoy’s 33 runs towards the end took Bangladesh’s total to 255 runs. New Zealand and Bangladesh will face each other in the final ODI of the series at the Bir Shrestha Shaheed Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium in Chittagong today (April 23).
\nBangladesh suffered a setback in the first over after losing the toss and deciding to bat. Opener Saif Hasan was brought back to the dressing room. Another opener, Tanjid Tamim, returned and scored 1 run off 5 balls. When Soumya Sarkar, who scored 18 runs off 26 balls with the help of two fours, was dismissed, Bangladesh came under a lot of pressure. However, thanks to the strong batting of Nazmul Hasan and Shanto, who took wickets with Liton, the Tigers overcame the initial setback. Shanto reached his half-century in the 26th over. He played 70 balls to reach his fifty.
\nOn the other hand, another batsman Liton Das reached his fifty in 71 balls. He reached his fifty after playing a long 19 innings. Liton was bowled while Lennox was making 76 runs off 91 balls. Shanto, who came on as the sixth batsman, took him to the century. Shanto scored his fourth century of his career in 114 balls. Shanto was caught on the boundary in an attempt to increase the run rate and was dismissed for 105 runs.
\nAfter captain Miraz was dismissed for 256 runs in the 48th over, Bangladesh lost two more wickets in the next over. In the end, Bangladesh’s innings was stopped at 265 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Towhid Hridoy remained unbeaten on 33 runs. Will O’Rourke took the highest three wickets for New Zealand. Ben Lister and Jayden Lennox took two wickets each and Dean Foxcroft took one wicket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
