How did the match pan out?
Bangladesh got off to a decent start, but the Kiwis gained control after picking up wickets at regular intervals. Several Bangladeshi batsmen got starts, but besides Shakib, nobody else showed the application. Henry in particular was impressive with the ball. In reply, Shakib got both Kiwi openers. Williamson and Taylor did well, but Bangladesh got back with key wickets. It wasn't enough though.
