New Zealand secured a series-clinching five-wicket win in the second one-day international against Bangladesh Tuesday after a string of fielding errors dashed the tourists' hopes of victory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Black Caps skipper Tom Latham scored an unbeaten 110 after being dropped twice with New Zealand chasing 272 at Christchurch's Hagley Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New Zealand batsman Jimmy Neesham was also given a life, with the errors undoing Bangladesh's good work in making 271 for six after losing the toss and being put into bat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal was left frustrated after seeing his side come close to a maiden victory on New Zealand soil.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We should have won this game. We created chances but we just couldn't hold on to those dropped catches," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We hardly ever win games but in this kind of situation, we have to make sure that we do everything 100 percent. I'm disappointed."<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tamim top-scored for the tourists with 78 and Mohammad Mithun contributed an unbeaten 73 off 57 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Latham's 110 came off 108 balls and was his fifth ODI century, while Devon Conway's 72 helped anchor the innings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Black Caps reached the target after 48.2 overs, finishing on 275 for five to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match ODI series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Tamim had demanded a better performance from his players after they were skittled for 131 in the opening match and slumped to an eight-wicket defeat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Signs did not look promising when opener Liton Das departed for a duck in the second over. But Tamim and Soumya Sarkar preserved their wickets, grinding out an 81-run partnership at an agonisingly slow run rate to lay the foundation for a big finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Soumya was stumped on 32 trying to lift the run rate as Tamim brought up his 50th ODI half-century off 84 balls after surviving two umpiring reviews. His luck ran out trying to pinch a quick single when Neesham showed impressive soccer skills to kick the ball into the stumps side-on and dislodge the bails.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Entering the final 10 overs at 183 for three, Bangladesh finally stepped on the gas through Mithun's career-best ODI knock.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

New Zealand began briskly in reply despite the early loss of opener Martin Guptill for 20. A double strike from spinner Mahedi Hasan applied the brakes to the run rate, forcing Conway and Latham to rebuild.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Conway's departure in the 34th over with New Zealand at 166 for four gave Bangladesh a chance to put the hosts under pressure. The bowlers obliged but errors in the field meant chances went begging and momentum shifted back to New Zealand.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/03\/new-zealand-beat-bangladesh-by-5-wickets.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for Bangladesh Blunders Gift New Zealand ODI Series Win", "alt_title": "New Zealand vs Bangladesh", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "New Zealand Beat Bangladesh By 5 Wickets, Lead ODI Series 2-0 | cricketnmore.com", "seo_desc": "New Zealand secured a series-clinching five-wicket win in the second one-day international against Bangladesh.", "seo_keywords": "Bangladesh tour of New Zealand, Tom Latham, New Zealand vs Bangladesh", "tag": "", "tagging": "Bangladesh tour of New Zealand,Tom Latham,New Zealand vs Bangladesh,", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": "0", "slug": "new-zealand-beat-bangladesh-by-5-wickets-in-2nd-odi", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": "0000-00-00", "ians_time": "00:00:00", "server_time": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "trash": "0", "view_count": "2694", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "1", "created": "2021-03-23 15:23:40", "updated": "2021-03-23 15:24:20", "img_from": "Image Source: Twitter", "img_source": "", "schedule_publish": "0000-00-00 00:00:00", "news_keywords": "New Zealand v Bangladesh, Tom Latham, 2nd ODI, NZ vs BAN, Tamim Iqbal", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "0", "google_feed": "0", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "21", "jio_date": "2021-03-23 15:23:40", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "1", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": "2021-03-23 15:23:40", "featured": "0", "pred_match_id": null, "article_content_type": null, "england_cricket": "0", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/cricket-news\/new-zealand-beat-bangladesh-by-5-wickets-in-2nd-odi-73245" }
