NZ in BAN, 3 T20Is, 2026 Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur, Dhaka

14.2: Ben Sears to Ripon Mondol, OUT! TIMBER! What a finish by Ben Sears. Back-to-back wickets for him. What a display of bowling and fielding this has been from New Zealand. On a length, on off, Ripon Mondol makes room and swings hard but misses it completely as the ball clips the off pole. Bangladesh have been bundled out for a mere 102 runs.

14.1: Ben Sears to Shoriful Islam, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Another one down. New Zealand are right on top. A low full toss, on off, Shoriful Islam gets low and looks to loft it but gets an inside edge as the ball rattles over the stumps. What a way to start the final over. Bangladesh are 102/9 after 14.1 overs and are down to their last wicket now.

13.6: Jayden Lennox to Shoriful Islam, Flatter, on off, Shoriful Islam knocks it to wide of mid on for a single.

13.5: Jayden Lennox to Mahedi Hasan, Keeps it short, on off, Mahedi Hasan cuts it to the point fielder.

13.4: Jayden Lennox to Mahedi Hasan, FOUR! Excellent shot from Mahedi Hasan! Tossed up, much fuller, around the pads of the batter. Mahedi Hasan gets down on one knee and sweeps it late toward the left of the short fine leg fielder for four runs. Also, 100 up for Bangladesh!

13.3: Jayden Lennox to Mahedi Hasan, Short, on off, Mahedi Hasan blocks it to point.

13.2: Jayden Lennox to Shoriful Islam, Much fuller, on off, Shoriful Islam pushes it to cover for a single.

13.1: Jayden Lennox to Rishad Hossain, OUT! RUN OUT! Another wicket goes down for Bangladesh. Flatter, on leg, Rishad Hossain looks to flick it but gets an edge as the ball rolls towards fine leg. An easy single, but they go for a risky double. Nathan Smith throws it towards Dane Cleaver who whips the bails off in a flash. The umpire raises his finger straightaway.

12.6: Josh Clarkson to Rishad Hossain, Hard length, on leg, Rishad Hossain looks to flick it but edges it to third man for a single.

12.5: Josh Clarkson to Rishad Hossain, Much fuller, on leg, Rishad Hossain flicks it towards fine leg for a brace.

12.4: Josh Clarkson to Mahedi Hasan, A yorker, right into the blockhole, Mahedi Hasan digs it to wide of mid on for a single.

12.3: Josh Clarkson to Rishad Hossain, Full again, on middle and leg, Rishad Hossain flicks it to mid-wicket for a single.

12.2: Josh Clarkson to Mohammad Saifuddin, OUT! TAKEN! Keeps it full, outside off, Mohammad Saifuddin throws his bat but gets a thick outside edge. The ball carries towards backward point. Tim Robinson gets low and takes the catch but looks unsure about it. The umpires go uptairs to have a check. After the multiple replays, the third umpire confirms that Tim Robinson's fingers were beneath the ball. Bangladesh in deep trouble as they are 89/7 after 12.2 overs.

12.2: Josh Clarkson to Mohammad Saifuddin, Wide! Josh Clarkson bowls it way outside off, Mohammad Saifuddin leaves it alone. Wided.

12.1: Josh Clarkson to Tawhid Hridoy, OUT! TAKEN! Nice and full, on middle and leg, Tawhid Hridoy stays back and looks to flick it but doesn't connect well. The ball carries towards deep backward square leg. Tim Robinson slides to his left and takes a brilliant low catch. The umpires check for a clean catch and it shows that that was indeed a clean catch. Tawhid Hridoy makes his way back now as Bangladesh are 88/6 after 12.1 overs. Mohammad Saifuddin is the new batter.
