NZ claims series with win over Bangladesh
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 09 - 02 - 2010

New Zealand continued its dominance over Bangladesh with a five-wicket win in the second One-Day International.
Having thrashed its opponent in the one-off Twenty20 and the opening one-day match, the Black Caps kept up the pressure on the visitors in Dunedin.
And the win gave it an unassailable 2-0 lead with one match to go.
Bangladesh at least managed to see out its full allotment of 50 overs, but ground out just 183-3 which New Zealand surpassed in just 27.3 overs.
Ross Taylor (78) and Martin Guptill (32) were the main contributors with the bat for the home side, Taylor playing with his customary panache to smack six boundaries and five sixes in his 52-ball innings.
Shafiul Islam (3-49) was Bangladesh's chief wicket-taker claiming the scalps of Brendon McCullum, Taylor and Broome. Rubel Hossain took the other two but conceded 68 runs in the process.
The fact Bangladesh made it to a semi-respectable total was only due to the sterling efforts of wicketkeeper/batsman Mushfiqur Rahim (86) and Naeem Islam (43), who set a Bangladesh record with a seventh-wicket stand of 101.
The pair had to dig deep early in their innings after the loss of so many wickets but once the second drinks break had been taken after the 35th over and with the score at 76-6 they cut loose and took it to the New Zealand bowlers who up until that point had dominated proceedings.
Daryl Tuffey and Ian Butler, in particular, suffered during the batting powerplay which Bangladesh took with just six overs to go.
The third one-dayer takes place in Christchurch Thursday, followed by the one-off Test match.
Scores: New Zealand 185-5 (27.3 overs) beat Bangladesh 183-8 (50 overs) by five wickets.
