Bangladesh Triumphs with Shanto's Century and Rahman's Five-Wicket Haul
Najmul Hossain Shanto's century and Mustafizur Rahman's five-wicket haul steered Bangladesh to a 55-run victory over New Zealand in Chattogram, clinching a 2-1 series win. Despite early setbacks, Bangladesh set a target of 266, which New Zealand couldn't chase, bowled out for 210 in 44.5 overs.
In a thrilling cricket showdown, Bangladesh emerged victorious against New Zealand, winning the third one-day international by 55 runs in Chattogram, thereby sealing the series 2-1. Najmul Hossain Shanto led with a timely century, while Mustafizur Rahman clinched five wickets to steer the win.
The hosts posted a challenging 266-run target, relying heavily on Shanto's patient 105 and Litton Das's robust 76. Despite New Zealand's initial strong chase effort, they were ultimately bowled out for 210 runs in 44.5 overs, thanks to Rahman's decisive performance.
New Zealand's hopes were briefly lifted by Nick Kelly's 59, but his dismissal, alongside Dean Foxcroft's final 75-run stand, wasn't enough. The series will be followed by three Twenty20 Internationals, kicking off next week in Chattogram.
