18.4 - Al-Amin to Ronchi, FOUR, the slower delivery from Al-Amin, Ronchi was way too early on the lofted drive, gets a thick edge that loops over backward point, bounces a couple of times and rolls away to the fence

18.1 - Al-Amin to Ross Taylor, FOUR, that's a meaty blow from Taylor, wide half-volley outside off, Taylor gets forward and thumps it over mid-off, one bounce and over the ropes for a boundary

16.4 - Shakib to Elliott, FOUR, lovely shot, a little shimmy down the track from Elliott, made room outside leg and goes back over the bowler's head, no chance for either of the two fielders in the deep

16.0 - Mortaza to Ross Taylor, FOUR, nicely played by Taylor, hint of width outside off, Taylor waits on it and cuts it late, gets it into the gap between short third man and backward point, that will relieve some pressure off him

13.1 - Mahmudullah to Munro, FOUR, that's much better from Munro, gets close to a well flighted delivery and lifts it back over the bowler's head, one bounce and over the ropes - for his first boundary

13.0 - Al-Amin to Ross Taylor, byes, FOUR, that's handy for New Zealand, another slower ball from Al-Amin, he rolled his fingers across the seam, the ball stays low and beats Taylor's pull. Rahim doesn't stay down and allows the ball to sneak through his legs, rolls away for four leg-byes

8.3 - Mustafizur to Williamson, FOUR, that's one way of taking on the bowler, Williamson shimmied down the track, made room outside leg and goes over cover, a couple of bounce and over the ropes, beat the fielder getting across from long-off

4.2 - Shakib to Williamson, FOUR, cracking shot, tossed up wider outside off, Williamson gets a good stride forward, made room as he did so and goes inside out over cover, one bounce and over the ropes

2.1 - Shakib to Williamson, FOUR, nicely done by Williamson, tossed up well down the leg-side, a gentle loosener from Shakib, Williamson gets down low, rolls his wrists around and sweeps it behind square on the on-side, no need to run for those

1.3 - Shuvagata to Henry Nicholls, FOUR, nicely played by Nicholls, Hom drops one short and well outside off, Nicholls makes room and cracks it square past point, rolls away to the fence in a hurry

1.0 - Mortaza to Williamson, FOUR, back of a length and well outside off, Williamson stays on the back foot, presents the full face of the bat and punches it sublimely past cover for a boundary, two excellent shots to get going

0.5 - Mortaza to Williamson, FOUR, lovely shot, fraction too short and just outside off, Williamson stands tall, gets on top of the bounce and punches it in front of square on the off-side, beats Shakib at cover and rolls away to the fence

20.0 - Mustafizur to McClenaghan, SIX, McClenaghan spoils the party of Mustafizur somewhat, but the bowler still ends up with five wickets. On a good length and just outside off, right in the slot for McClenaghan, he went down on his knees and swiped it high and over wide long-on, went deep into the crowd. Monstrous blow to finish the innings, New Zealand end up with 145

16.2 - Shakib to Ross Taylor, SIX, smashed, this was tossed up just outside off, Taylor bends down on his knees and clubs it high and over mid-wicket, went deep into the stands for a maximum

14.2 - Al-Amin to Munro, SIX, clubbed, short of a good length and just outside off, Munro stays back and heaves it high and over long-on, the fielder in the deep was just a spectator, much needed for New Zealand

13.5 - Mahmudullah to Munro, SIX, lovely shot, Mahmudullah gave this one plenty of air, it was close enough for the swing, Munro gets a good stride forward and lifts it high and over long-on for a maximum

4.5 - Shakib to Williamson, SIX, beautifully played, Williamson shimmies down the track, gets close to the pitch of the ball, plays it with the spin and lifts it over mid-on, went sailing over the ropes for a maximum

19.5 - Mustafizur to Nathan McCullum, out Bowled!! Mustafizur has five now! He slipped in the slower delivery on off, McCullum made room for the swing, was done with the shot even before it arrived, ends up missing and the ball clips the top of off-stump. Mustafizur is on a hat-trick. Nathan McCullum b Mustafizur 0(1)

19.4 - Mustafizur to Santner, out Bowled!! Fourth wicket for Mustafizur, he's having a ball at the Eden. This was a fuller length delivery on off, Santner backed away on the heave and missed, the ball clips the top of off-stump, off goes the bails and off goes Santner. Santner b Mustafizur 3(3)

18.2 - Al-Amin to Ross Taylor, out Caught by Mithun!! Bangladesh have held on to most of their catches and this is another good one from Mithun. He didn't spot it early, took off late from deep mid-wicket, in the end, he had to dive forward and holds on. Soft dismissal for Taylor, this was a full toss from Al-Amin, just below the knee-roll, Taylor could have hit it anywhere, instead, he pops it high and over mid-wicket. The third umpire is called to check for the legality of the delivery, but Al-Amin is fine on that count. Ross Taylor c Mithun b Al-Amin 28(24) [4s-2 6s-1]

17.5 - Mustafizur to Elliott, out Caught by Shuvagata!! That's an outstanding running catch from Hom and Mustafizur has his third wicket. This was the slower off-cutter, on Elliott's pads, he was shuffling across on the flick, closed the face of the bat a tad too early, gets a fat top-edge, high and over mid-on. Hom ran back, kept his eyes on the ball and took it over his shoulder, held on even as he tumbled onto the ground. Elliott c Shuvagata b Mustafizur 9(7) [4s-1]

15.4 - Mortaza to Corey Anderson, out Bowled!! Chopped on! A duck for Anderson and Bangladesh are fighting back into the contest. This was another slower delivery outside off, no pace whatsoever, Anderson went with hard hands on the drive, gets a thick inside edge and the ball clatters into the middle-stump. Delight for the Bangladeshi supporters. Corey Anderson b Mortaza 0(3)

14.5 - Al-Amin to Munro, out Bowled!! Munro's battling resistance is over! Al-Amin has a wicket to his name. He kept this one full and straight, Munro backed away slightly on the heave and missed, it was curtains thereafter, the ball crashed into the middle pole. The stubborn stand has been broken, Bangladesh needed that wicket. Munro b Al-Amin 35(33) [4s-1 6s-2]

9.0 - Mustafizur to Williamson, out Bowled!! Williamson has been castled and Rahman roars in delight! Some just rewards for excellent bowling. This was a full ball on the stumps, it was another slower delivery as well. Williamson went a long way across his stumps as he looked to help it over short fine. No pace on the delivery, the batsman was way too early on the shot and is beaten comprehensively. The middle and off-stump take a beating, Williamson surveys the debris and walks away. Williamson b Mustafizur 42(32) [4s-5 6s-1]

4.0 - Mustafizur to Henry Nicholls, out Bowled!! Mustafizur strikes for Bangladesh! Lovely bowling from the youngster, this was pitched up outside off, drew Nicholls into the drive, he didn't cover for the movement, leaves a big gap between bat and pad as he went for the ambitious shot, the ball sneaks through and sends the off-stump cartwheeling. Henry Nicholls b Mustafizur 7(11) [4s-1]

19.0 - Al-Amin to Ronchi, 2 runs, Bangladesh have dropped some sitters and this is another one, Tamim is the culprit. It came straight at him, at head high and he made a mess of it. Al-Amin shortened the length as Ronchi came charging down the track, hit flat and hard, but straight to extra cover, Tamim went reverse cupped and failed to hold on

15.2 - Mortaza to Ross Taylor, 1 run, Al-Amin has dropped a dolly, it was another slower delivery outside off, Taylor shuffled acrosd and drags it behind square on the on-side. Al-Amnin set himself up, the ball hit his hands, popped onto the chest and went to ground. That's a bad drop indeed

15.2 - Ish Sodhi to Shuvagata, FOUR, good use of the feet and he's smashed that. He got to the pitch of this away-spinning delivery and drove it inside-out through extra-cover

13.5 - Ish Sodhi to Shuvagata, FOUR, oh that's a dropped chance and a missed stumping as well. But that is very tough for the keeper. Flighted delivery outside off stump, Shuvagata steps out and tries to muscle it down the track, gets an inside edge that sneaks through the keeper's legs, Ronchi had no time to react

5.0 - Santner to S Rahman, leg byes, FOUR, again wrong line from Santner. Flighted delivery down the leg-side, Rahman misses the sweep, the ball rolls past short fine leg off the flap of the pad. Good over Bangladesh as they got 14 runs off it

4.4 - Santner to Mithun, FOUR, nicely driven by Mithun. He went leg-side this time and give himself a bit of extra room, it was flighted delivery just outside off stump and Mithun square-drove it between cover-point and backward point

4.2 - Santner to S Rahman, FOUR, good use of the feet and that's a good hit from Rahman. Flighted delivery on the stumps, Rahman steps out, gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it easily over mid-on

14.4 - Elliott to Mustafizur, SIX, wowww! Top shot to get off the mark. Slower delivery that was very full, Mustafizur smashes it hard and handsomely over long-on for a maximum

15.4 - Ish Sodhi to Al-Amin, out Bowled!! That's it! Bangladesh have been bowled out for their lowest score in T20Is. Gee, New Zealand win by a massive 75 runs. Mind you, they only posted 145 and not those humongous scores of 190-200 to win by that margin. Googly from Ish Sodhi, Al-Amin gets down on one knee and aims for a big slog, misses and the ball knocks out the off stump. Al-Amin b Ish Sodhi 0(2)

14.5 - Elliott to Mustafizur, out Caught by Ronchi!! A faint edge and the keeper makes no mistake. Mustafizur was foxed by the slower ball and played a little early as he checked his push. Got the inside edge and Ronchi stayed low to pouch it. Third wicket for Elliott. Mustafizur c Ronchi b Elliott 6(3) [6s-1]

14.2 - Elliott to Mortaza, out Lbw!! Shout for LBW and up goes the finger. Not sure if that was clearly heading to the leg stump. Will wait for the replay to confirm. It was the slower delivery that was not picked by Mortaza. He tried to flick and lost balance, got hit in line with leg stump but the angle from over the wicket seemed to be taking it past the stumps. Replays in: That ball was clearly missing leg stump. Mortaza lbw b Elliott 3(5)

12.0 - Ish Sodhi to Mahmudullah, out Bowled!! Mahmudullah becomes the 9th batsman to be bowled today. Once again he fails to read the googly, lunges forward and tries to defend, leaves a big bat-pad gap and it sneaks through to hit the top of off stump. Mahmudullah b Ish Sodhi 5(8)

10.4 - Elliott to Rahim, out Bowled!! No mercy for Bangladesh, this is turning out to be an awful evening for them, the procession continues. This was the slower leg-cutter from Elliott, pitched around off, drew Rahim forward on the defensive push and spun across him like a spitting cobra, Rahim was looking to defend with a perfectly straight bat, the ball whizzed past the outside edge and clipped the outer half of off-stump. Rahim looked puzzled, Elliott didn't know he had a wicket, but the gleeful face of Ronchi told the story. Rahim b Elliott 0(2)

10.0 - Ish Sodhi to Soumya Sarkar, out Stumped!! Nothing's going right for Bangladesh, they are ending their T20 WC campaign with a whimper. This was the wrong 'un from Sodhi, Sarkar was tempted into going for a big swipe over mid-wicket, in the process, he dragged his foot out. He swung and missed, Ronchi was quick to whip the bails off with Sarkar stranded outside the crease. No need to go for the third umpire, Sarkar gets the marching orders. Soumya Sarkar st Ronchi b Ish Sodhi 6(8)

8.5 - Nathan McCullum to S Rahman, out Caught by Santner!! In the airrrr and that's a good catch by Santner at long-on. Sabbir Rahman didn't go hard at it. Flighted delivery around off stump line, Rahman lofts but not enough power behind it, the fielder runs forward, dives and takes a good low catch. New Zealand are dominating proceedings here. It's 38/4 now. S Rahman c Santner b Nathan McCullum 12(18) [4s-1]

7.1 - Santner to Shakib, out Caught by Nathan McCullum!! Shakib Al Hasan goes and Bangladesh are in deep trouble now. Flighted from round the wicket, Shakib targetted the mid-wicket boundary, it was the right shot with the ball spinning back to him, but he didn't connect the slog properly and hit it to the left of long-on. McCullum doesn't miss many and he moved to his left to complete the catch. The replay shows that the bat turned in Shakib's hands on contact with the ball and that is why he hit it straighter than where he had aimed. Shakib c Nathan McCullum b Santner 2(6)

5.4 - McClenaghan to Mithun, out Bowled!! McClenaghan changes the angle, goes round the wicket and gets a wicket first ball. Mithun gave the charge to the bowler, McClenaghan dropped the slower ball short, yet Mithun went through with the attempted big hit and missed it completely to have his off stump shattered. So McClenaghan strikes in his first over. Mithun b McClenaghan 11(17) [4s-1]

2.0 - Corey Anderson to Mithun, out Tamim Run Out!! Brilliant direct-hit from Munro and New Zealand have got the big man. Tamim was the top run-scorer for Bangladesh but he's been dismissed for 3. Slower delivery outside off stump, Mithun pushes it to the right of short third man and sets off, Tamim responds for the run but Munro was too good for him with the throw at the striker's end. Tamim was stretching forward to make ground but he was well short. Tamim run out (Munro) 3(8)
