Bangladesh set New Zealand 272-run aim for in second ODI
Bangladesh returned to create and set New Zealand a challenging aim for of 272 runs to win the next one-day international in Christchurch on Tuesday.
Batting to avoid a string defeat, Bangladesh completed their alloted 50 overs on 271 for six after sacrificing the toss and getting put into bat.
Skipper Tamim Iqbal top-scored with 78 and Mohammad Mithun contributed an unbeaten 73 off 57 balls.
It was a marked improvement on the travelers' series opener, if they were skittled for 131 and slumped to an eight-wicket defeat.
Dark colored Caps skipper Tom Latham wished for a similar collapse at Christchurch's Hagley Oval but Mitchell Santner was the very best of the New Zealand bowlers with several wickets for 51.
