It was good to see Bangladesh show some fight in this match however it still wasn't enough to get the win. I thought they bowled well early on to keep New Zealand batsman from making runs but they couldn't stop the partnership of Phillips and Mitchell which helped New Zealand reach a decent total. Bangladesh did fight back strong after losing the first early wicket but after the big partnership from the second wicket stand they basically couldn't put big enough partnerships together to win the match. At least they showed some fight which they can take into the third and final match.

This was perhaps the best performance by Bangladesh so far in the tour. Their bowlers still conceded runs at a rate of almost 10 per over, but when they came out to bat they gave some issues to the New Zealand bowlers. Soumya Sarkar batted exceptionally well for his 51, although I thought that he had the responsibility to stay there and guide the team to a victory. But once he got out, the Bangladesh chase just folded up. So only one match remains in the tour now, and I just hope Bangladesh will be able to win that one.

Remember the soft signal controversy in Ind vs Eng series, when 3rd umpire stayed with the on-field umpire's call on very obvious decision -Boundary Catch-?

BCCI got rid of it in this IPL season. On-field umpire still have authority to give soft signals but from now on if there are enough evidence then 3rd umpire can rule out the decision.

No soft signal and 90-minute time restriction - IPL's new Playing Conditions

Match resumes as now Bangladesh need 170 runs in 16 overs start is not bad at all as they are 30/1 in just 4 overs even its very tough target for them against a big team, but we will be able to have some entertaining cricket for some time.

Incredible fightback from Soumya Sarkar and Mohammad Naim, but I am not sure whether Bangladesh will be able to reach the target. After 10 overs they are 94/1. Soumya Sarkar is having a strike rate of around 200 now, and he has hit 3 sixes. If he stays there for some more time, then Bangladesh will definitely fancy their chances. Mohammad Mithun to come next and he is also in terrific form.

NZ vs BAN second T20 is underway. BAN won the toss and selected to bowl first. This decision is turning out to be good for BAN as they have already taken 4 wickets with NZ only able to score 102. But unfortunately rain has hit the match and it has been delayed.

The point to note here is that the New Zealand batsmen hasn't slowed down despite the loss of wickets. And they don't need to. Their lower order is very strong and therefore they can continue to play big hits at this point. Glenn Phillips is batting with 30 runs from 17 balls. The other batsmen just need to provide support to him. But the arrival of rain may bring Duckworth/Lewis in to play and that will negatively impact New Zealand as they have already lost 4 wickets.

If i remember correctly that is shared here, the suspension of Shakib Al Hasan stemmed from a dispute with the Bangladesh cricket board when they were revolting or something and they took the opportunity of some bookie approaching him as a code of conduct breach as per the ICC and it is sad to hear that the issues are still there as he is one of the best all rounders in world cricket and his presence makes one hell of a difference for their team as well and if the cricket board still pushed him he might even retire from international cricket and focus on franchise cricket and he is a sort after player for different teams.

From what I have heard, issues between Shakib and the Bangladesh Cricket Board has existed for a long time, even before the incident involving the bookie. Also, Shakib was given a disproportionately harsh punishment by the BCB for him not reporting the approaching of bookie on time. It was just a procedural delay, but the cricket board handed him a one year suspension for that. I don't know why the board hates him so much, as he is one of the best players Bangladesh has ever produced.

Shakib Al Hasan is back from suspension but his problem with the Bangladesh cricket board is still brewing as there was a controversy when he applied for NOC to play in the IPL as some of the board members accused him that he wanted to skip national duties but despite these he reached India to join his IPL team and he will be playing for them.

I thought Shakib Al Hasan is back from suspension but he is not playing in this series, not sure whether he is injured as he is the main player who could change their fate, if not his presence it is going to be a hard task for them to win against New Zealand nor any other team outside their home ground. It is going to be an easy match for New Zealand and sadly the odds are really low to wage a bet Undecided.

I was hoping to see Bangladesh play a lot better in T20 against New Zealand but their poor form continues. T20 normally opens up the door for lower ranked teams or teams that are in poor form to bounce back and gain some momentum but its not looking like that here. I just hope that in today's match Bangladesh are more competitive.

Those who interested in associate cricket can watch the Uzbekistan Premier League and Betbarter T10 Tajikistan Premier League on FanCode. Both the tournaments are scheduled for August 2021. A few Indian players are also taking part in the Tajikistan league according to the organizers (along with players from Afghanistan, England and Pakistan). The Tajikistan league will the the third to be sponsored by BetBarter (previously they had sponsored T10 leagues in Vanuatu and Zambia).

Interesting to note that these countries are very interested in Cricket as well. Makes me wonder how many cricketing nations there are on the whole irrespective of the popularity of the sport in that said nation. Cricket has the potential to be as popular as Football if not more but it needs a lot more funding at lower levels. Not just in nations that already have structured system and a cricketing board in place.

NZ Women vs Aus Women starting in a few hours. Australia have won 4 matches in a row H2H including ODI's and potentially another win for Aus women in T20. Lea Tahuhu isnt listed in the potential NZ squad which would weaken the bowling attack. Frankly, NZ batting lineup isnt half as impressive or deep as it is for Australia and they should focus on improving that aspect to become a serious contender.

I was hoping to see Bangladesh play a lot better in T20 against New Zealand but their poor form continues. T20 normally opens up the door for lower ranked teams or teams that are in poor form to bounce back and gain some momentum but its not looking like that here. I just hope that in today's match Bangladesh are more competitive.
Bangladesh have simmered down recently and doesnt seem to be in good form especially against quality opposition like NZ. Don't think it'll change anytime soon but I hope at least it is a thrilling contest. Although highly unlikely looking at the previous result.

This is the first time i am hearing about the tournament, T20 is difficult enough to predict and there is no way i am able to predict T10 and that too with teams i have not heard about. Looks like the T10 tournaments are catching up around the world where cricket is not played much and these shorter format will attract new audience to the sport.

It was a clean sweep during the ODI series and for me it looks as if the outcome of the T20I series won't be any different.
It was not a big surprise as i expected this outcome and Bangladesh never performs outside the subcontinent and any team coming to New Zealand will struggle unless they have the bowlers to counter the attack and normally the grounds are really small and as a spinner it is hard to contain the runs and it will be another clean sweep and the odds are not that great either.

Bangladesh is over-dependent on one or two players and they need to change this. On top of that, every now and then Shakib al Hasan seems to be having some issue with the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB). And these internal disputes had a negative impact on the team stability and performance. But all that is not an excuse for their pathetic performance in New Zealand so far. Afterall, they are a test nation and the fans expect them to put up a strong fight.
Bangladesh managed to loss 30 matches consecutively. They have such countless issues, it's true they are very much dependent on two or three players and Shakib al Hasan is there backbone. I think what Bangladesh lacking is patience and concentration on the field. They have abilities yet every time failed seriously. You can see the statistics, their recent performance are not good enough but rather it's been downhill most recent two years.

^^^ Shreyas Iyer is neither a very senior member of the team nor he is one of Kohli's favorites. So there is no guaranteed slot for him in the playing XI. If he is fit enough to play in the IPL, then he need to do that. It can have a huge financial impact on him as well. His contract with the Delhi Capitals is worth $980,000 per year and if he is unable to play then he need to forfeit all this amount (which I really doubt he can afford).

Yes, you are right he does not fall under the good books of Kohli but does that matter he still got selected for the national team. He will not be playing this series because of his injury. It is a serious injury and as per the news on ESPNcricinfo, he will be missing IPL 2021. This means he will have to forego the amount that he was earning from IPL. But as he is part of the BCCI C team he still will get paid this year a good amount. Till last year he was getting paid INR 1CR annually which is 10 million USD. You can find out pay details here

LOL..  it is not 10 million USD, but 10 million INR, which translates to $133,333. This is roughly one-eighth of what he receive for playing in the IPL for less than two months. Also, the peak period for a cricketer lasts only for 4-5 years and he need to earn as much as possible during this period. If he misses the entire season of the IPL, then it will be a big financial blow for him. Hopefully he'll be declared fit within the next few weeks.
We cannot do anything as it is confirmed he will be missing out of IPL. If we talk about earnings of an average cricket player in India it far better than global players. Yes, he will lose his IPL earning but I am sure he is more intrested in being part of the Indian A team.

I find it hard to see a competitive match between Bangladesh and New Zealand until New Zealand give opportunity to the young players and rest the established players. It is not an easy task for top teams to defeat New Zealand in their ground and Bangladesh is not having success outside the subcontinent and if the pitch is not helping their spinners they usually struggle badly.

Another massive score was put up by New Zealand (210/3) and the chances are very low for Bangladesh. Apart from Nasum Ahmed, all the other Bangladesh bowlers went for more than 10 runs per over. The Bangladesh bowlers seems to be clueless on how to bowl in New Zealand ground conditions. Devon Conway came so close to another century, but he couldn't get it (92 not out). It was a clean sweep during the ODI series and for me it looks as if the outcome of the T20I series won't be any different.
