Bangladesh vs New Zealand 5 match ODI series in Bangladesh 2010 - 5th ODI- Summary,Scorecard,Highlights.
Another historic day for Bangladesh Cricket. The day means a lot. The day came after a real hard work in cricketing world. Bangladesh has white washed New Zealand for the first time ever. This is not the first time; they had whitewashed Kenya, Zimbabwe, Ireland, and West Indies before this. But against a stronger test playing opponent, this is the first time they have done this. The series was full of emotion and full of excitement.The 5th ODI was full of drama. Especially after the Bangladeshi innings the game the game was spinning like a pendulum. Treat to watch.
After winning the toss, Sakib decided to bat first. Bangladesh had a poor start. Within a short time, even before ending the 15th over, they lost 3 top order batsmen. Like the 4th ODI, Sakib joined with Kayes in a crunch moment. But after an over, Kayes left and Bangladesh were in deep trouble.
Mushfiqur Rahim came in and joined with Sakib. They build a promising partnership of 55 runs. Sakib (36) was gone playing with an unnecessary shot. This was the turning point in Bangladeshi batting. As Sakib gone, Bangladeshi wickets stated to fall. They could only add 42 runs after Sakib’s dismissal. They managed to put a total of 174 before all-out.
With this small total, Bangladesh was committed to fight for anything from very first over. At the 6th over they lost their 5 top order batsman. Thanks to Rubel Hasan who took 3 among the 5 wks. They were tottering at the moment. The captain Vettori and Elliot built a confident partnership as they were going well and looked a comfortable win for them. Great players always come at the right time. YES, Sakib broke the partnership of 86 runs and sent back Vettori (43) to the pavilion. Bangladesh was back in the hunt. But again, it’s turning time. Mills thought he could be the man for his team to make a win. He was hitting the ball well and made 33 quick runs.
New Zealand needed just a boundary from 4 balls and Mills was at the strike. But at the 3rd ball of the over Rubel Hasan knocked out Mills with a fantastic Yorker.
Bangladeshi boys were crazy winning the match as well as the spectators. They were shouting, running, hugging. No doubt, they thoroughly deserved it.
Rubel Hasan was the Man of the Mach for his career best (4/25) bowling. Sakib as expected won the Man of Series award.
So this ends the memorable series for Bangladesh, though New Zealand would like to forget the series, working out with their mistake they made and play better cricket in their forthcoming series against India in India.
WELL, Bangladesh can think they did really well in that series. They had an excellent practice for world cup 2011 against a stronger team. But they should not be too overwhelming and should static on their basics. This is just the start. They will have to continue this performance in the future as the expectation is much higher now to them.
