In a pulsating Champions Trophy Group A encounter in Rawalpindi, Bangladesh managed to restrict New Zealand to 236 for nine, setting the stage for an intense run-chase. New Zealand, who need 237 to win, are currently three wickets down, with the likes of Rachin Ravindra and Tom Latham showing promising form.
Rachin Ravindra has been in sensational form, having smashed a century to fire up his team’s innings, while his opening partner Tom Latham has also been steady at the crease. Yet, the task remains daunting as Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Michael Bracewell, have turned the game on its head. Bracewell, the left-handed all-rounder, starred with the ball by claiming four wickets for 26 runs in his full quota of 10 overs. His incisive bowling was pivotal in curbing Bangladesh’s total to 236 for nine.
On the batting side for Bangladesh, captain Najmul Hossain Shanto played a commanding knock, scoring 77 off 110 balls to anchor the innings. He was well-supported by Jaker Ali, who contributed a brisk 45 off 55 balls.
As the match unfolds, the live scorecard continues to update the drama in this high-stakes contest. Fans are on the edge of their seats, watching closely as New Zealand strive to complete the chase against a disciplined Bangladeshi side.
