That's it then. See you guys for the 2nd ODI on Thursday in Nelson. Until then, goodbye!
Bangladesh needed a good start to have a chance but the top-order disappointed and they were soon 81/4. Would have needed something miraculous from there. Didn't happen. What is worrying is how some of them handled the short ball. Once the Kiwi pacers had a sniff, they kept dishing out more and more and kept banging it in. The visitors need to find a way around it if they hope to stay competitive in the next two games.
17:55 Local Time, 05:55 GMT, 11:25 IST: The efforts of Shakib and Rahim towards the latter half of the innings instilled a semblance of a fight in what was primarily a timid performance by Bangladesh. A 77-run loss is quite a comprehensive one. Fair to say that they were never in the chase whatsoever. Rather, they were shoved out of the picture as soon as the Latham-Munro partnership started taking control in the first innings. The duo started off breezily after joining hands with the hosts at 158/4. From there, Latham started accelerating gradually to compile his 2nd ODI ton while Munro's fire had turned into a conflagration by the time he was done with a 61-ball 87. 155 runs were scored in the final 15 overs to power the hosts to a mammoth 341.
