Champions Trophy: Ravindra, Latham Help NZ Beat Bangladesh To Seal Semis Spot Along With India
Najmul Hossain Shanto: Rachin Ravindra’s fourth ODI ton and Tom Latham’s disciplined 55-run cameo helped New Zealand register a comfortable five-wicket win, with 23 balls to spare, over Bangladesh in the Group A clash at Rawalpindi Stadium. With this win, New Zealand and India have both qualified for the semifinals from Group A and will battle it out for the top position on March 2. Host nation Pakistan and Bangladesh have been eliminated from the tournament.
Ravindra’s 112-run innings saw him find the boundary 12 times, alongside one six, as he pulled out an array of shots from his deep locker to confirm the win for his side. The all-rounder had recently returned from an injury he suffered during New Zealand's first match against Pakistan in the Tri-nation ODI Series before the Champions Trophy.
In their defense of 237, Bangladesh got off to a good start with Taskin Ahmed beginning the proceedings with a wicket maiden. The right-arm fast bowler bowled a full-length delivery, which nipped back in, and saw the ball pass between the pad and bat to castle onto the wickets to dismiss Will Young, who had scored a century in the opening game against Pakistan.
