Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Cricket Match

Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd ODI Cricket Match

Oct 08, 09:00 IST, Venue: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka

New Zealand take on Bangladesh in second ODI of the series of five match in Mirpur in Dhaka. 

What is surprising is the fact that Bangladeshis have taken a 1-0 lead in the series after winning the first ODI, and that means that New Zealand side will be under pressure to win every game .

New Zealand bowling seemed to have done the work for them in the previous game, but the dough dropped. The goal was not too great and after the start that Brendon McCullum has given it should have been easy.

As it turned out, Shakib Al Hasan came with a man of the match throughout the performance and worked for Bangladesh. What will be interesting to see is whether Mashrafe Mortaza came rather from his injury or whether they Chakib main hand - to put more pressure on him. Anyway, the Kiwis have to move quite quickly.
