8.45pm Bangladesh found some impetus at the start and end of their innings, but crumbled against spin in the middle overs. Bracewell, Sodhi, Southee and Boult shared the spoils for New Zealand. That Bangladesh eventually passed 130 was down to Nurul's cameo. "Obviously nice to get some milestone and nice week building up for the world tournament," Sodhi tells Spark Sport. "Glenn [Phillips] was saying there was a witch at backward point stopping us from catching balls. But I guess our ground fielding was outstanding today." Ankur will be back with you for the start of NZ's chase. Will dew prove to be a factor once again?

Shariar: "Other than Afif (who didn't really get going today), others in the middle order aren't as good as against spin. Mosaddek feels hit or miss mostly-in middle overs (his Asia cup success was down the order), Yasir and Sohan are better against pace. Someone has to do what Mahmudullah used to in the middle overs- ideally a bit faster(on par is good too). Question is who can."
Tarif Sherhan: "@mahneel: with due respect, we should not miss Riyad. his run a ball 20 or 30 would have just made the scorecard look a bit less sorry. But that would not have changed the result."

Dante : "@sid These are warm-up games. Momentum is important but so is identifying your best in-form 11. Everyone knows what Shakib can offer and he will bat higher in the tournament. This was a chance for someone else to step up."
