Kiwis bid to compound Bangla misery
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 26 - 03 - 2016

A buoyant New Zealand will look to maintain its perfect record in cricket's World Twenty20 in Kolkata Saturday as it takes on a demoralized Bangladesh team which has already booked its tickets home.
The Black Caps are guaranteed a place in next week's semifinals after defeating India, Australia and Pakistan in their first three matches in the group stages.
But Kane Williamson's side, which is yet to win either of cricket's premier short-form trophies, will want to keep its momentum going before it enters the tournament's last four.
Williamson has so far relied on spin, with Trent Boult and Tim Southee — New Zealand's main strike bowlers in ODIs and Tests — left to kick their heels on the bench.
Martin Guptill, who top-scored with 80 in Tuesday's win over Pakistan, said the Black Caps would not necessarily stick to the same line-up but would wait to see what the Eden Gardens pitch had in store.
Guptill said New Zealand was enjoying its cricket and there was no reason why it couldn't finish the group with a 100 percent record.
"We've got a mindset of being aggressive and just going out to have a bit of fun," he said. "At the moment, everyone is having fun playing cricket, and we are playing some good cricket together, putting in some good performances.
"If we can do that again against Bangladesh, who knows, we can go through unbeaten."
The match represents Bangladesh's last chance at returning home with something after three straight defeats, including a heartbreaking last-ball loss to India Wednesday night.
After his team took India right to the wire, Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza now has to pick his team up off the floor. "It's always difficult to take something from it (a close defeat) to another match," he said after the India game. "But obviously being professional players we have to take it and play hard cricket in the last match. Obviously if we can do something there then we can take something back home."
Teams:
New Zealand (from): Kane Williamson (captain), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Martin Guptill, Grant Elliott, Colin Munro, Mitchell McClenaghan, Nathan McCullum, Adam Milne, Henry Nicholls, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor.
Bangladesh (from): Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), Shakib Al Hasan, Abu Hider, Al-Amin Hossain, Mahmudullah, Mohammad Mithun, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasir Hossain, Nurul Hasan (wicketkeeper), Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Tamim Iqbal, Shuvagata Hom, Saqlain Sajib.
