Second Innings Batting : Bangladesh Bowling : New Zealand
Siddique was the Man of the Match for his brilliant innings of 85.
Morale boosting win for Bangladesh as they comprehensively beat New Zealand by 7 wickets. First a 4-wicket haul by Mortaza put the visitors on the back foot and then Siddique's patient 85 helped Bangladesh beat the Kiwis. Siddique shared a 67 runs partnership with Rahim (30) and then a 109 runs stand with skipper Ashraful (60) to script a much needed victory. Mills provided the early breakthrough but the rest of the Kiwi bowlers coulnot take wickets at regular intervals. With this win Bangladesh take a 1-0 lead in the 3 ODI series. Thats all from us for the day. Have a nice time and do join us for the commentary of the 2nd ODI on the 11th of October.
