Bangladesh claim historic away Test win over New Zealand

New Zealand, Jan 5: Records tumbled in Tauranga as Bangladesh dominated day five, claiming 12 vital World Test Championship points. Bangladesh have completed arguably their finest ever Test win, defeating reigning World Test champions New Zealand at the Bay Oval, breaking the hosts' 17-match unbeaten streak at home. Finishing with a second innings spell of 6/46, Ebadot Hossain was adjudged Player of the Match, as the tourists chased down a target of 40. With a bowling average of 81.54 from 10 Tests coming into the match, Ebadot realized his potential in a rampage across the final two days, finishing with seven wickets for the match. Taskin Ahmed joined Ebadot in to bundle the hosts out for just 169 early in the day, finishing with 3/36. New Zealand's batters had no answer for Bangladesh's canny reverse swing, with Ross Taylor (40), playing his final Test at the venue, providing the only resistance. As Ebadot beat Taylor's defenses to send New Zealand spiraling at 154/6, the hosts crumbled to be bowled out for just 169. Rachin Ravindra (16) was surrounded by four players to be dismissed for a duck. Bangladesh's bowlers were backed by a clinical fielding effort, as Shoriful Islam and sub-fielder Taijul Islam took stunning catches to all but seal Bangladesh's win - their first away Test win over a top-five ranked team and just their sixth victory abroad from 61 attempts. Bangladesh made easy work of the 40 required in 16.5 overs to seal a historic win, in spite of Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah. Bangladesh had not previously won any of their 43 matches in New Zealand across all three formats, while the result also ends the Kiwis' eight-series home win streak that stretched back to 2017. Records broken by Bangladesh > First win against New Zealand in New Zealand (in any format) > First Test win over New Zealand (16th attempt) > First Test win over a top-five ICC-ranked team away from home > 6th win away from in 61 Tests > Ended New Zealand's eight-series winning run on home soil (2017-present) > Ended New Zealand's 17-match unbeaten run in home tests

New Zealand’s 10-wicket hero left out, Latham to captain against Bangladesh

New Zealand have confirmed their 13-man squad for next month’s two-Test series against Bangladesh. With home conditions typically suiting the seamers, New Zealand's selectors have opted against picking a specialist spinner. Hence, Ajaz Patel has missed out on selection after becoming the third player to claim a Test 10-wicket haul in the Black Caps’ most recent match. New Zealand will be without regular captain Kane Williamson for the series as he continues to rest his injured elbow. In Williamson’s place, Tom Latham will captain. “It’s great to be back home and at venues, we know well, and where we’ve had success in recent times” New Zealand coach Gary Stead said. “It’s obviously disappointing not to have Kane available for this series but, as we noted in India, he is undergoing a sustained period of rest followed by rehabilitation, strengthening and gradual batting loading. “We have every confidence in Tom leading the side - he’s done an excellent job in the past when called upon. “You do feel for Ajaz after his record-breaking display in India. However, we’ve always applied a horses-for-courses selection policy and believe the players selected best fit the way we want to take on Bangladesh here at home.” New Zealand squad Tom Latham (c), Tom Blundell (wk), Trent Boult, Devon Conway, Matt Henry, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, Henry Nicholls, Rachin Ravindra, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Neil Wagner, Will Young

England facing New Zealand on Wednesday: Things to know

KATHMANDU, November 10: England is facing New Zealand on Wednesday in the semi-final match of ICC T20 World Cup to be played in Abu Dhabi. When England last met New Zealand in an ICC white-ball tournament, there was little to separate the two teams after 50+1 overs each. England claimed the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2019 title only by the barest of margins in that match at Lord's.  Since then, New Zealand have insisted that that heartbreak is behind them. They have gone on to lift the ICC World Test Championship trophy, and come into this encounter with personnel who weren't in the middle for that Lord's match and don't carry those scars. For the team, this tournament is simply another chance to be rewarded with some silverware for the quality and consistency they have maintained across formats in the past few years.    Here are things to know about these two teams:  Fixture details The match: England v New Zealand, Semi-final 1 Time: 6:00pm local time, Wednesday 10 November Venue: Zayad Cricket Stadium, Abu Dhabi ENGLAND Position: First Their road to the semi-final England got their campaign off in spectacular fashion, bowling West Indies out for 55 and chasing it down in just 8.2 overs for a crushing first win that ultimately made the difference in net run rate as they went through at the top of their group. Moeen Ali set up the win with two early wickets, but it was his fellow spinner Adil Rashid who returned the pick of the figures – four wickets for two runs in 2.2 overs. Bangladesh were the next to fall foul of the England juggernaut, with Ali again in the wickets before Jason Roy hit a quickfire 61 in an easy chase. And Jos Buttler’s blistering 71 made astonishingly short work of a chase of 126 against Australia, with England reaching it in just 11.4 overs. The huge NRR advantage set up by that trio of crushing wins gave England a huge chance of progressing as they went into the final two matches of their Super 12 campaign. But they were made to work hard in Sharjah, with Sri Lanka pushing them close despite Buttler’s brilliant century. Defeat to South Africa in the final group game ultimately didn’t cost England top spot, despite both teams and Australia all finishing tied on eight points, with that positive NRR doing its job in the end. Star performers Jos Buttler – The tournament’s second-highest run-scorer has been the obvious star for England through the Super 12 stage. His century against Sri Lanka was the highlight of course, but over five matches Buttler has scored 240 runs at an average of 120.00 and a strike-rate of 155.84. Those are astonishing numbers. Chris Jordan – The form of England’s experienced death-over specialist was a big concern coming into the tournament. Jordan had been extremely expensive in an England shirt for some time and would have been at severe risk of being dropped had injuries not begun to mount up. But Jordan’s returns have been excellent, especially in those overs at the end of the innings. If the 33-year-old can deliver at the business end it makes England’s attack a far more stable unit. NEW ZEALAND Position: Second Road to semi-finals New Zealand's T20 World Cup campaign got off to a rocky start when they were defeated by five wickets by Pakistan in their opening match. Just as when Pakistan beat India, the nature of the loss raised question marks over New Zealand's credentials as contenders. They quickly put those questions to bed by trouncing India by eight wickets as their all-star attack dismantled a highly vaunted batting order. It was Trent Boult who did the majority of the damage as India were restricted to just 110, and the Kiwis chased it down with five and a half overs remaining. Scotland pushed them in their third match, coming within 16 runs of chasing down a target of 172 and there was a scare against Namibia too, but by the time the Black Caps reached their final group match, they had their fate in their own hands. And they made no mistake against Afghanistan to once again seal their spot in the finals of an ICC event. It was Boult and Tim Southee who did much of the damage to restrict Afghanistan to 124/8, and the chase was conservative but comfortable. Star performers Martin Guptill - The veteran opener has once again been New Zealand's Mr Reliable in the format, with his brutal 93 off 56 against Scotland proving a crucial performance given how tight that match looked at times. His 28 against Afghanistan set up New Zealand’s chase in exactly the manner required, and all opponents will eye the opening batter as one of the big threats in this Black Caps team. Unsurprisingly he finishes the Super 12 stage as the team's highest run-scorer. Trent Boult - New Zealand's star fast bowler has been humming at the showpiece event, proving both dangerous and economical. His 3/20 against India set New Zealand on a path that would see them win four matches on the bounce to reach the semi-finals, and he delivered a consistent quality throughout the Super 12 stage.
