New Zealand beats Bangladesh by eight wickets in T20 Tri-Series
The HinduCaptain Kane Williamson and opener Devon Conway shared an 85-run partnership for the second wicket that helped steer New Zealand to an eight-wicket win over Bangladesh on Sunday in the New Zealand Twenty20 Tri-Series. Conway struck his third T20 half-century from 36 balls and eventually remained unbeaten for 70 from 51 while Williamson struggled at times with the pace of the wicket and made 30 from 29 balls as New Zealand chased down Bangladesh’s 137-8 with 13 balls to spare. Williamson decided to bowl first and the tactic worked as the Bangladesh bowlers struggled to contain New Zealand on a slow, low pitch in a match played in cold conditions. “I thought with the used wicket the New Zealand spinners bowled really well,” Bangladesh captain Shaqib al Hasan said.
