Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd Test at Mirpur
BAN vs NZ, 2nd Test, Mirpur: New Zealand win series after Bangladesh draw (1:0)
Oct 29, 2008
New Zealand and Bangladesh drew the rain-affected second test yesterday when both captains agreed to halt the contest 40 minutes before the scheduled close on the final day, handing the tourists a 1-0 series victory.
New Zealand had reached 79-1 in their second innings, a lead of 172, after Bangladesh had earlier narrowly avoided following on to dash the visitors' hopes of securing an unlikely win in a match that lost more than three days to the weather
Resuming after tea on 34-1, New Zealand, who won the first test by three wickets in Chittagong last week, added 45 runs in 19 overs as the contest petered out into a draw. Opener Aaron Redmond (30) and Jesse Ryder (39) were unbeaten at the close after Bangladesh had limped past the follow-on target of 162.
Bangladesh were lifted by all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan (49) and bowler Mashrafe Mortaza (48), who batted cautiously to salvage the home side's innings with a seventh-wicket partnership of 78 to overcome a fine bowling display by Daniel Vettori. New Zealand skipper Vettori finished with figures of 5-66, his 17th five-wicket haul in tests, and Iain O'Brien chipped in with three victims for 31 as Bangladesh reached 169-9 after lunch before the home side declared 93 runs behind the tourists.
