6 down! Every ball is becoming an event now.
Again the man Glenn Phillips glided the team towards the destination, as I said it just took one batsman to take away the win from host and that is what literally happened in this match and a little support from Santner in the end and again proving why the cricket is not utilizing his batting skills more in the other formats.
Happens almost every time, whenever you are chasing a small but tricky target in challenging conditions. All you need is one batter digging for good, sometime s/he can run out of partners but here Satner did quite a good job sticking with Phillips so both deserve praise. Satner is still new in the test cricket but he's no mug with the bat and quite handy in white ball cricket as well so he knows a thing or two about batting.

I didn't think I would get the results of Test matches in such a short time but Bangladesh and New Zealand didn't waste any extra time. The match would have ended on the third day had the rain not stopped play. The Bangladeshi batsmen came out to bat on the wicket in the second innings and they quickly returned to the pavilion. In the second innings Bangladesh lost all the wickets and managed to score only 144 runs, on the other hand New Zealand secured an easy victory in the second Test against Bangladesh with four wickets in hand. The result of the first test was in favor of Bangladesh and the result of the second test was in favor of New Zealand Test series draw.

Well.. there was no point in batting defensively on this minefield. It was offering a lot of undue advantage for the spinners (both for those from New Zealand and Bangladesh). Batsmen who actually scored runs in this match, such as Glenn Phillips actually went on the attack mode rather than batting cautiously. Bangladeshi batsmen also tried to attack, but they ended up smashing all the balls without differentiation and this resulted in their downfall. All credit to Ajaz Patel and rest of the New Zealand bowlers. They finally got their line, length and variation right.

New Zealand team would not have been able to win this match if Glenn Phillips did not bat well. Phillips' performance in both the innings was excellent. And at the same time the performance of New Zealand's top order players was not good. New Zealand lost 5 wickets for 46 runs in the first innings and the team lost 5 wickets for 51 runs in the second innings. Due to Phillips' responsible batting, New Zealand managed to collect big in both innings. I was sure that after the defeat in the first test, New Zealand would win the second match either way.

It's very impressive how Glenn Phillips played an important role in steering the team to victory. As you mentioned, it often just takes one batsman to turn the game around. It's interesting to see Santner's contribution in the end, underscoring the value of his batting skills.

In an era of T-20 cricket, nothing pleases me more than batters running around like a headless chicken and occasionally grinding and showing batting masterclass, so pleasing to the eyes.

Low scoring encounters on such decks are just pure gold. Some people don't like these fixtures on spin track but f**k em, who cares as long as it's fun for the spectators.

I was watching this test match on television when I saw that New Zealand fell by 6 wickets for 96 runs.Then I thought maybe New Zealand was going to lose their second Test match to Bangladesh.New Zealand leveled the series 1-1 today with a win in their second Test today thanks to some good batting from Mitchell Santner and Glenn Phillips.
We enjoyed an incredible and entertaining match today from New Zealand.

Yes, at last, New Zealand won the match. The tournament's test series is 1-1. Congratulations New Zealand Team for winning the match. It's impressive how they managed to turn things around, especially considering the struggle during the chase. The stats indeed tell an intriguing story, making it clear that it was a challenging match for the batsmen.

Incredible match between New Zealand and Bangladesh at Mirpur. As I posted yesterday, Bangladeshi batsmen became a bit overconfident and tried to accumulate runs as quickly as possible. And this resulted in them getting bowled out for just 144 runs in their second innings. Even then, a target of 137 batting last was not going to be easy. But from a position of 69/6, Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Santner put up a 70-run stand for the 7th wicket and guided New Zealand towards a victory. Series ends at 1-1 and this is an excellent result for New Zealand.

47 runs to win now, with 4 wickets remaining. Perhaps for the first time in this match, New Zealand is having a higher win probability than Bangladesh. The 7th wicket partnership between Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Santner has added 21 runs till now. If these two can stay there for some more time, then New Zealand can win this match. Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee and Ajaz Patel to come next. The first two players mentioned here are decent batsmen. Tea has been taken, and the play will resume after 15 minutes.  

It was 7th wicket partnership between Glenn Phillips and Mitchell Santner that helped New Zealand in levelling the series. The partnership added 70 runs to the total. New Zealand was also struggling while chasing this small target of 137 runs and 6 wickets were gone down on 69 runs. I didn't watch the match but the stats tells the story that it was made only for bowlers with no support for batsmen.

New Zealand won the 2nd test match by 4 wickets. New Zealand levelled the series 1-1. Aggressive batting from Phillips and Santner was the key to NZ's win. They did not let the Bangladesh spinners dominate and, in the end, snatched the victory from their hands. Bangladesh was 30 to 40 runs short.
Glenn Phillips should be the player of the match because of the way he batted (and bowled) in both innings.

Today's match between Bangladesh and New Zealand is very exciting. However, Miraz may be the hero of today's victory. Mehdi Miraz is painting Bangladesh's Test cricket in his colors. Today's victory can be the best victory of 2023 for the Bangladesh team. That too against a strong team like New Zealand.

overall performance of both team is bad. In test match scoring below 200 is very bad. Bangladesh  player Zakir Hasan batted very well by scoring 59 runs but no other player contribute. Bangladesh were out, scoring 144 runs in 35 overs.

If we talk about New Zealand's bowling, it was also so good in the second ininings in which Ajaz Patel got six wickets, Santner got three wickets and Southee also got one wicket to get everyone out for this low total .

 New Zealand alread lost 6 wickets  and dangerous man Philip is still on the field.  NZ only need 47 runs which should be chased but couldn't be said at the moment as Bangladesh bowlers doing their best to win

It's all happening in the test match. New Zealand is 6 down and needs another 58 runs to win the match. By the look of it, Bangladesh is in complete control, and if they get the wicket of Phillips, they will surely be a few steps away from a historic win. Phillips looks dangerous and in a hurry, because he knows that against these spinners on a spinning track, defensive is not an option.
This test match is getting more interesting with every passing over. These low-scoring chases are a thriller and a treat to watch for the fans.

New Zealand faces the critical moment to lose their main wickets. It's a challenge to overcome the lead given by Bangladesh, and the loss of a vital wicket adds to the pressure. Bangladesh, on the other hand, is striving to maintain their advantage, but their batting performance is a concern. Mehidy Hasan Miraz & Taijul Islam playing well to attack the New Zealand batting.

Now the score of NZ is 51-5 from 22 overs. It's a big challenge to win today. Best wishes to Bangladesh.

The first Test series between Bangladesh vs New Zealand was held at Zahoor Ahmed Stadium, Chittagong. There, Bangladesh won against New Zealand by a huge margin of runs. The way Bangladesh beat New Zealand in the first match, it looked like we were going to win the Test series for the first time. But in the second innings of the Bangladesh team, their batting is again full of failure. New Zealand was given a target of only 145 runs. I think that no matter how well Bangladesh bowled, today's Test series was not won by Bangladesh. Winning the Test series against New Zealand remained Bangladesh's dream. I think New Zealand will easily meet the target of 145 runs today. Finally the test series will be a 1-1 draw maybe.

On the fourth day, the New Zealand team is batting to try to make up for the lead given by Bangladesh and they have already lost one of their crucial wickets. Bangladesh give team-New Zealand a huge lead of 137 runs, batting with the aim of filling that lead but their batting performance is not very good. We have seen that wickets fall quickly in every match because Bangladesh's pace is not very good and the spinners are in possession. When the spinners come to bowl the batsmen play the ball very hard these bowlers are in good form now. If New Zealand can form a pair and play in partnership in today's match then definitely New Zealand will collect good runs and give a huge lead against Bangladesh. Although 130 runs are needed to cover the lead given by Bangladesh so far, it is important to keep the wickets of the New Zealand batsmen, even if possible.

In fact, Mirpur pitch is a bowling pitch, especially the spinners get more support. Spinners took 9 out of 10 wickets in Bangladesh's second innings. Bangladesh managed to score 144 runs in the second innings only. Zakir Hasan scored only fifty runs, no batsman except him scored 20+ runs. Nurul Hasan had a poor performance in the first innings as well, getting 0 out in the second innings as well. He is a wicket keeper batsman and such poor performance is not expected from him.

I'm concerned about Nurul Hasan's recent performance, especially given his role as a wicketkeeper-batsman. Scoring zero in both innings is unexpected. Did you miss the performance of Musfiqur Rahim with tricks?

New Zealand Score: 5/1 from 4.4 overs. Also, today's innings in most critical for New Zealand. Best of luck Bangladesh for winning the series.
