The wounded tigers fly all the way to the Kiwiland and start their tour in the most forgettable way . This should have been like rubbing salt in the wounds after being pounded by the Indians in the Tests and ODIs. The entire match itself is like a summary . Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat . It was all going well until Aftab Ahmed fell with the score at 41/2. Then they fell like 9 pins managing to score a mere 78 runs.Vettori and McCullum Jr. ran through the middle order getting 3 wickets each.It was just a question of how many overs will NZ take to wrap up the match and they finished it off in style in jus 8.2 overs losing no wickets. McCullum Sr. blazed his way to an unbeaten 56(27) while the debutant,P.Ingram was happy to watch it from the non - strikers end . Dan 'The Man' Vettori was the MOM for his 3/6.
Interestingly , NZ hold the distinction of winning a T20 with a large margin( balls remaining),twice . Previously against Kenya and now Bangladesh! Good Going Kiwis!
P.S - As I am writing this post Saffers are sailing smooth(read getting batting practise) at 283/3 and West Zone crumbling at 215/8. Yusuf Pathan hit 108(76) after brother Irfan took 5 with the ball. Ahem..
