Mt Maunganui (New Zealand), Jan 8 (CRICKETNMORE): A belligerent 41-ball 94 from Corey Anderson propelled New Zealand to a 27-run win in the last T20 against Bangladesh, sealing a 3-0 clean sweep, here on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Anderson and Kane Williamson (60) put up a brisk 124-run stand to power the hosts to a huge 194 for 4 after being asked to bat at the Bay Oval in Mt Maunganui on Sunday, reports bdnews24.com.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh raced to 82-1 in the ninth over, riding a rapid start from Tamim Iqbal (24) and Soumya Sarkar (42).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
But the introduction of New Zealand leg-spinner Ish Sodhi (2-22) and other slow bowlers checked their progress.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Chasing the massive target, Bangladesh fell too far behind the asking rate, finishing on 167 for 6 with Shakib Al Hasan adding a fighting 33-ball 41.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The hosts were earlier reduced to 41-3 in the seventh over after Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza won the toss.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Paceman Rubel Hossain (3-31) dismissed James Neesham for 15 and Colin Munro for a duck in the same over before Mosaddek Hossain struck with his first ball to send back Tom Bruce (5).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Captain Kane Williamson (60) then struck his second fifty of the series while left-hander Anderson provided the late flourish, blasting 10 sixes and two fours in his unbeaten knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Anderson bludgeoned part-time medium-pacer Sarkar for three sixes over mid-wicket, his 10 sixes are the highest by a New Zealander in the format.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bangladesh stayed winless in their first overseas tour after two years as the T20 series whitewash follows a 3-0 sweep of the One-Day series by New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The teams will next play two Test matches starting on Thursday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
