    8.4 oh dear - another massive mix-up involving Bates, and NZ lose another! Back of a length outside off. Kerr hops back and cuts it towards backward point. Kerr takes off for the single but Bates is ball-watching at the other end. The fielding is sharp and the throw accurate, meaning that Bates has to scramble. She pulls out a last-ditch dive but still cannot quite get there. Bates back to the shed after a 33-ball 29 and NZ, from a position of solidity, now in a spot of bother! 35/2
    8.2 Plimmer runs past one, and Bangladesh are on the board! Fizzed through on a length outside off and this seems to drift in before spinning away just a shade. Plimmer skips down but is nowhere to the pitch of the ball. Straightens enough to go past the outside edge and Sultana does the rest, with Plimmer stranded. New Zealand lose their customary powerplay wicket, and Plimmer's indifferent World Cup continues! 35/1
    10.6 cleans her up with a corker! Bangladesh all over New Zealand! Lots of fizz and revs on this one. Pitches on a length on middle and off and then zips through. Kerr does not get to the pitch and tries to cover the line to defend off the back foot. Gets done on the outside because of the slight spin away and hears the rattle of the stumps soon after. Rabeya is off on a celebratory run, and NZ in all sorts, yet again! 38/3
    43.4 a wild smear across the line, and Devine throws her head back in disappointment! Slightly slower on a length on middle stump. Devine, having decided to go after anything and everything, tries to smash this into the stands too. Swings a little too early, though, and the ball squirms past her flailing blade before thudding into middle stump. Another gritty knock by the NZ skipper, but she might feel she left a few runs out there! 179/5
    38.3 goes straight up, and that will be that for Halliday with the bat! Tossed up full just outside off. Halliday thinks she can slog this over deep mid wicket. Swipes at it too early, though, and the ball skews up rather tamely off the top edge. Sultana calls for the catch early and does the rest. A top knock but now, someone else will have to take NZ past 200! 150/4
    47.2 beautiful bowling, and Green is outta here! This is very courageous and very brave. Fizzed in on a length on middle stump. Seems like the googly because this comes in. Green, having advanced, is caught right in the middle. Not close enough to the pitch of the ball, nor far enough to adjust. The ball seems to brush her back leg before Sultana gathers and whips off the bails. Green's cameo comes to an end, with NZ just a tick over 200! 202/6
    49.4 leg stump knocked back, and Marufa has a wicket! Slower ball on a back of a length on off. Cuts back in a touch and Gaze does not pick the variation. She has a wild swipe across the line. Misses and hears the toppling of leg stump soon after! 222/9
    47.3 Kerr has run herself out first ball! Back of a length just outside off. Kerr jabs it towards extra cover and sets off for a single she is always struggling to complete. The fielding is neat and the throw is at the stumps too. Rabeya collects, takes off the bails and Kerr is just short of her ground, says the umpire. Looked very close, though! 202/7
    48.5 another stumping, and NZ are eight down! Nahida pre-empts the batter coming down and spears this in very full. Follows Mair a little outside leg too and she cannot get her bat down in time. The ball whizzes past and even though Sultana bobbles the collection initially, she has enough time to effect the stumping! 210/8

    7.2 looks to go over the top, and can only hit it as far as mid-off. No timing or power behind that, hit her high on the bat as she ends up spooning a catch. Nicely taken by the skipper 13/2
    4.1 that's the end of that! And not surprisingly to one that jags back in off the seam with the batter all at sea. She pokes outside the line, not sure if this is coming in or straightening. And sees the ball sneak through the gap and crash into the stumps. If anyone deserved a wicket, it was Rosemary. 7/1
    12.2 miscued and the Bangladesh captain is on her way! Kerr holds her nerve and floats this one up too, just outside off. Sultana advances and thinks she can smash this into the sightscreen. Does not get to the pitch of the ball, though, meaning she has to reach out. Clinks it off the bottom half of the bat and the ball goes a mile up. Mair, running back to her right from mid off, tracks it all the way and then gobbles it up over her right shoulder, finishing off the action with a neat tumble. Bangladesh four down! 30/4
    9.5 the leading edge is pouched at short third! It's the late movement away off the seam that does Mostary in as she looks to flick it square of the wicket on the leg side. This leg-cutter appeared to stop on her as well, ans it's the simplest of catches to Tahuhu. Kerr has bowled incredibly well, perhaps the best she has in the tournament so far. But it also helps when batters show absolutely no intent to take you on. 22/3
    13.2 another shank, and another wicket! Tahuhu has a wicket in her 100th ODI! Slanted in on a fullish length on off stump. Sumaiya plants her front foot and has a mow across the line. No shape in the stroke and no power in it either. Loops up off the leading edge and Bates was never going to drop that at extra cover. Bangladesh sliding and sliding rather quickly! 30/5
    39.5 skied and Plimmer does the rest! NZ are finally on the board, and they win at a canter in the end! Thrown up full and wide. Fahima skips down, trying to smash the cover off this. Loses her shape, though, and cuts across the stroke too much. The ball swirls towards extra cover, where Plimmer tracks it all the way and makes no mistake! 127/10
    13.6 rapped on the knee roll, and the finger goes up in a trice! Length ball, pitching just outside off and decking back in sharply. Shorna, caught on the crease, falls across and then plays all over it. Gets pinned right in front and this looks pretty adjacent. Shorna, though, wants to have another look. No bat involved and Ball Tracking has the ball clipping the outside of leg stump. Umpire's Call and Bangladesh are six down! 33/6
    22.5 uppish and finds backward point. As good as giving catching practice. Mair can't believe she has a wicket that she'll consider herself lucky to have got. Nothing delivery - short and wide outside off, and this is literally steered straight into the fielder's hands. The end is nigh 66/7
    35.6 chipped straight to short extra cover, and NZ finally break through! This is a soft dismissal, although NZ will not mind one bit. Fullish outside off and this stops a touch. Rabeya is early into her drive and all she does is pop it into Plimmer's palms. Jess Kerr has three, and NZ finally bag the eighth Bangladesh wicket! 110/8
    38.4 ripper, and Tahuhu has another! Back of a length in the channel and this seams back with gusto. Nishita has no clue about it and gets cut in half. The ball whistles past the inside edge and then thunders into the top of middle stump. NZ almost there now! 125/9
