New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner took 4 wickets as they beat Bangladesh by 17 runs in a rain-affected third and last Twenty20 worldwide on Sunday to attract the collection 1-1. After dismissing the vacationers for 110 in Mount Maunganui, New Zealand’s top-order collapsed to 49-5 earlier than Jimmy Neesham and Santner recovered to succeed in 95-5 off 14.4 overs. When heavy rain halted play, the Black Caps had been comfortably forward of the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern goal, thanks largely to an unbeaten 28 from all-rounder Neesham.

The outcome denied Bangladesh a primary collection victory on New Zealand soil in any format, having misplaced the previous ODI collection 2-1.

“Our bowlers did the job up front keeping them to 110 and it’s good to get across the line in what’s been a pretty tough-fought series,” Santner stated.

“It got quite tight in the end today. Credit to Bangladesh, their bowlers have bowled extremely well. They put us under some real pressure again.”

After asking Bangladesh to bat first on a vigorous Bay Oval pitch, Santner claimed 4-16 off his 4 overs, stifling an innings that was already struggling at 41-3 when he was launched.

Seamers Tim Southee, Adam Milne and Ben Sears all took two wickets.

Milne (2-23) eliminated Bangladesh captain and top-scorer Najmul Hossain Shanto for 17 when he skied a full-pitched supply to level.

Shanto rued the truth that he and 4 different Bangladesh batsmen reached double figures, however all did not convert into a considerable rating.

“The bowlers did a great job but the batsmen didn’t get runs today,” he stated.

“In T20s the top of the order is very important. Our batsmen got starts, like 15 or 17, but they’re not taking the game deep.”

Four of New Zealand’s prime order had been dismissed for one run and when Finn Allen adopted after scoring 38, Neesham held the innings collectively because the storm clouds gathered, with stable assist from Santner who was unbeaten on 18.

Seam bowler Shoriful Islam took 2-17 off 3.4 overs.

Bangladesh gained the primary sport in Napier on Wednesday by 5 wickets, earlier than Friday’s second match was deserted after 11 overs due to rain in Mount Maunganui.
