New Zealand wrapped up a seventh series win of their home summer with a 28-run victory over Bangladesh under the Duckworth-Lewis (D/L) method in the second T20I here on Tuesday.
A downpour brought a premature end to New Zealand’s innings on 173/5 and Bangladesh were placed in the unusual position of starting their chase without knowing what tally they needed to win. They were apprised of their victory target — 171 runs in 16 overs — in the second over of the innings but managed 142 for seven.
Brief scores: NZ 173/5 in 17.5 ovs (G. Phillips 58 n.o.; M. Hasan 2/45), Bangladesh 142/7 in 16 overs (S. Sarkar 51; T. Southee 2/21, H. Bennett 2/31) NZ won by 28 runs (D/L Method).
