Ravindra\u2019s 112-run innings saw him find the boundary 12 times, alongside one six, as he pulled out an array of shots from his deep locker to confirm the win for his side. The all-rounder had recently returned from an injury he suffered during New Zealand's first match against Pakistan in the Tri-nation ODI Series before the Champions Trophy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In their defense of 237, Bangladesh got off to a good start with Taskin Ahmed beginning the proceedings with a wicket maiden. The right-arm fast bowler bowled a full-length delivery, which nipped back in, and saw the ball pass between the pad and bat to castle onto the wickets to dismiss Will Young, who had scored a century in the opening game against Pakistan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Nahid Rana, who replaced Tanzid Shakib in the lineup, took the massive scalp of Kane Williamson in the fourth over. The 22-year-old was almost challenging the Kiwi great to drive through the outside but movement on the ball saw him nick it straight to the keeper. Willaimson\u2019s dismissal brought Ravindra to the crease, a demotion to his usual batting spot after he was brought in to replace an unwell Daryl Mitchell, and the left-handed batter certainly marked his return in style.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ravindra, alongside Devon Conway, helped stabilize the Kiwis' innings before the latter fell cheaply to Mustafizur Rahman. A full delivery, outside off, saw Conway attempt to navigate the ball towards backward point but ended up chopping it onto the stumps. The 33-year-old was left disappointed with his mode of dismissal after having shown good form with six boundaries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
With three players back in the pavilion, New Zealand could not afford any more wickets at that point. The duo of Latham, and Ravindra certainly delivered for their side with a 129-run stand. Ravindra\u2019s innings was a showcase of precision and technique, with Bangladesh\u2019s bowlers targeting the offside but the 25-year-old\u2019s ability to strike the ball in the gap helped him keep the scoreboard ticking.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The centurion\u2019s dismissal came too late for Bangladesh to mount a comeback as the left-handed batter was attempting to change gears after reaching his hundred in 95 balls. A full ball by Rishad Hossain saw him try and clear the fielder at wide long-on but brought an end to the show he put on on Monday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Latham and Glenn Phillips looked certain to bring the game home for the Black Caps before the former was run out trying to sneak a quick single. However Phillips and the star bowler of the night, Bracewell scored the winning runs with 23 balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
