a point to be noted:
Many people pointed out that New Zealand played horrible against Bangladesh. I would strongly disagree.
Apart from the 3rd ODI, they did bowl us out for 171 and 241. the other three ODIs were mad close.
even after a great collapse, only a great team like New Zealand can post 55 runs in a powerplay, while Bangladesh would have most likely given up.
They made a few mistakes. they played their ususal strength. what was different about this series is that, Bangladesh Capitalized on their mistakes! something we are not used to...
It should also be noted that They could have played better, but hey the conditions were against them and a spirited Bangladesh Display led by Shakib and good support from others proved to be too much for them. we have to remember they did not get any practice matches.
In addition, getting Dangerous Batsmen out at key times in key games helped Bangladesh Contain New Zealand Batting Department.
Credit should be given to where it is due. Well Done Bangladesh
