Champions Trophy: Ravindra’s Valiant 112, Bracewell’s Four-fer Help NZ Win, Reach Semis (ld)
After Bracewell, who was named Player of the Match, produced a four-wicket-haul to help send back the Bangladesh top order and helped restrict them to a modest 236/9, New Zealand chased down the target with 23 balls to spare, thanks to Ravindra’s splendid 112 and Tom Latham’s vital 55. With this win, New Zealand joined India in the semifinals, while Pakistan and Bangladesh have been eliminated from the tournament.
Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Bangladesh got off to a solid start with openers Tanzid Hasan and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto. Tanzid took the attack to New Zealand early on, hitting Kyle Jamieson for a four and a six off consecutive balls in the second over. However, New Zealand soon regained control, as they managed to stifle the Bangladeshi batters during the middle overs.
