Dhaka: Ajaz Patel’s left arm spinner ran through the main order of Bangladesh with a career – the best 4-16 because New Zealand clawed them back to the Twenty20 International series five matches with a 52 victory in Dhaka on Sunday.
Bangladesh was closed for 76, their second lowest T20, with Patel and Cole McConchie (3-15) combined the host on a slow goal at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.
Bangladesh was looking to secure their first T20 series Triumph above Blackcaps after winning the first two matches.
They started with the start flying in the pursuit of the simple score of New Zealand 128-5 when Mohammad Naim blew up Jacob Duffy for two quarters above.
But the baby breaks out from there.
McConchie Trapped Opener Liton Das Leg – Before 15 to get blackcaps up and run before Patel fired Mahedi Hasan and Shakib Al Hasan in the same case.
No one looked back from there.
Rachin Ravindra All-Rounder Busled Naim Before Patel dismissed Skipper Mahmuditlah Riyad and Afif Hostic Off Balls in a row to leave Bangladesh rolled on 43-6.
Mushfiqur Rahim tried to save the pursuit but was allowed to stand alone at the age of 20 after Colin De Grandhomme took the last goal.
“Excellent performance.
We can build partnerships with bats even though we lost the goal in front, to the par and bowlers to do a fantastic job,” said Skipper New Zealand Tom Latham.
Henry Nicholls scored for Blackcaps with 36 balls, Marshalling the recovery of his team in the sixth-goal cap 66 who was unbroken with Tom Blundell (30) when New Zealand trained at 62-5.
Medium-Pacer Mohammad Saifuddin is the Best Bowler of the home team with 2-28.
“Bowlers do a good job to limit them.
We start well with bats but can’t use and lose the goal in a cluster.
Hopefully, we will return the next game,” said Captain Bangladesh Mahmuditlah.
The fourth match of this series will be held on Wednesday.
