New Zealand's top batting order collapsed like a deck of cards and now they are in a tough position. They lost 5 wickets in 10 overs while it was believed that it was a batting pitch and a monumental score was projected, but the opposite side was seen from NZ's.
New Zealand has won the past 2 matches against Bangladesh and was quite confident that they could easily sneak through this match also but currently, they are struggling to score even 135+ runs.
Daryl Mitchell was sold for 14cr. to CSK owing to his success in the World Cup 2023 and after the fall of 1st wicket it was assumed that he would responsibly carry forward the team's total but the situation got adverse and he fell for just 15 runs.
On the other hand, BAN's bowlers are in top-notch form especially Mahedi Hasan and Shoriful Islam. M Hasan dismissed Tim Seifert on the 3rd ball, giving a major heartbreak to NZ. At the same time, Islam has also dismissed Finn Allen and star batsman - Glenn Phillips.
T20 World Cup is also approaching and if this is the condition of NZ then it would be very difficult for them to get even into the qualifiers. They need to focus more and find a good pair for the opening section.
