The victory allowed New Zealand to wrap up the three-match series with a game to spare as captain Kane Williamson chipped in with a throw that led to a run out, a catch and three wickets with his part-time off-spin. Chasing 252 for victory, Bangladesh had been cruising at 105 for one in the 23rd over before Williamson sparked a collapse with the run out of Sabbir Rahman for 38 after he had combined in a 75-run partnership with opener Imrul Kayes. Williamson then had all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan caught at backward point by Broom, who also snapped up Imrul off Tim Southee for 59, as the visitors slumped to 141-7 by the 33rd over. They were eventually bowled out for 184 in the 43rd over. Broom, who was recalled for the series six years after the last of his 22 previous one-day internationals, had propped up New Zealand’s below-par 251 all out with a composed innings. The 33-year-old, whose recall was partly necessitated by Ross Taylor needing time to recover from eye surgery, took his time to set a foundation and patiently built his innings on a wicket that was good for batting on when established. He also combined in a 51-run partnership with all-rounder Jimmy Neesham (28) and for 64 runs with Luke Ronchi (35), but they both got out when the home side needed them to stay with Broom to launch an assault in the final overs. Broom, whose previous best was 71 against the same opposition in 2010, was on 99 when Lockie Ferguson was the ninth wicket to fall in the 47th over. Trent Boult, however, survived the last ball of the over and Broom then pushed a single into the covers on the first ball of the 48th to bring up the milestone. He finished on 109 not out, having hit eight boundaries and three sixes.• New Zealand batsman Neil Broom celebrates his maiden ODI ton AFP BDvNZ, 2ND ODI NEW ZEALAND R B M.

Sport 25 Bangladesh players watch the screen as a DRS decision is made on New Zealand’s Tom Latham during their second ODI at Saxton Oval in Nelson yesterday ‘A good opportunity lost for Bangladesh’ • Tribune Report Excerpts from the post-match press conference of Bangladesh captain Mashrafe bin Mortaza following their 67-run defeat against New Zealand in the second ODI at Saxton Oval in Nelson yesterday. “I think losing too many wickets. If you see, we had 100 runs on the board for the loss of one wicket. Then we lost nine scoring 84. It is very disappointing. It clearly Tanbir warned for breaching code of conduct • Tribune Report Bangladesh all-rounder Tanbir Hayder failed to make a memorable debut after being included for the second oneday international against New Zealand at Saxton Oval in Nelson yesterday. The lower middle-order right-handed batsman scored only two runs in his maiden appearance for the Tigers while with the ball, he gave away 47 runs without success in eight overs. His frustration was doubled when the 25-year old received an official reprimand shows that the batting collapse was the reason behind the loss. I think the bowling was set up nicely. The wicket we got was better than the other match but again, losing wickets was the key. “I think he (Kane Williamson) did really well. He took some of our vital wickets. We knew he is an occasional bowler and was not in our plans. But the way he bowled was beautiful and credit goes to him. But I think we could have handled for breaching Level 1 of the International Cricket Council’s code of conduct. Tanbir was found to have breached article 2.1.4 of the ICC’s code of conduct for players and player support personnel, which relates to “using language or a gesture that is obscene, offensive or insulting during an international match”. In addition to the reprimand for his breach of article 2.1.4, one demerit point has been added to Tanbir’s disciplinary record. If Tanbir reaches four or more demerit points within a him better. “That dismissal (run out mix up between Imrul Kayes and Sabbir Rahman) was the game-changer and key moment for New Zealand. We were going nicely in the chase with 100 runs for one wicket and then 150 runs in 27 overs. It was nicely set-up for us. The run out was crucial for us I think. “We were very confident of chasing the target, especially because of the wickets we had in 24-month period, the points will be converted into suspension points and he will be banned. Two suspension points equate to a ban from one Test or two ODIs or two Twenty20 internationals, whatever comes first for the player. The incident happened in the last ball of the 19th over when Tanbir, after being hit for a four by batsman Neil Broom, used obscene language which was heard by the umpires. Tanbir admitted the offence and accepted the sanction, as such, there was no need for a formal hearing. • AFP DT FRIDAY, DECEMBER 30, 2016 Mushfiq a priority for Tests • Tribune Report hand. We knew in the second half it will be going flat and it did, the evidence was there. In the last match, there was swing in the wicket in the second half. So when the ball is not swinging, it is almost like playing at home (Bangladesh) conditions. But the collapse was our undoing. It is disappointing. “The sub-continent teams which come to play here look for the opportunity that we had [yesterday]. We leaked 40 to 50 runs Bangladesh wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim started a rehab programme yesterday in a bid to recover from his left hamstring injury and get ready for the twomatch Test series, starting from January 12. Mushfiq, the Bangladesh Test captain, suffered the injury during the first ODI against hosts New Zealand at Hagley Oval in Christchurch last Monday. Mushfiq underwent an MRI in Nelson yesterday and the scan report confirmed a grade one tear. The injury ruled out the right-handed batsman not only from the ODIs but also from the three-match Twenty20 international series, beginning this Tuesday. “We have received the radiologist’s report and it shows a minor tear of the left hamstring,” said Bangladesh physio Dean Conway in a media release. “This is a moderate damage in nature Bangladesh tour of South Africa itinerary announced • Tribune Report Bangladesh will tour South Africa in September-October, 2017, for two Tests, 3 ODIs and two Twenty20 internationals. Cricket South Africa yesterday announced the itinerary of Bangladesh’s tour. The Test series naming rights went to Sunfoil, ODI series to Momentum and T20I series to KFC.

[Yesterday] we had a flat wicket and were batting as required. So we had never expected such a collapse from that point. A big chance slipped out from our hands. Winning the game would have made us comfortable in the last game of the series. I think the batsmen could have slowed things down when we were losing wickets but it didn’t happen.” • but means that it could take him around two weeks, starting from the day of the injury, to recover. However, we may ease him into training at some stage over the next few days,” Conway added. Conway further said Bangladesh team management’s priority is to get their skipper fit before the longer-version matches. “We will continue to assess and monitor him to see how he is responding to rehab,” said Conway. Mushfiq’s injury saw young stumper-batsman Nurul Hasan make his ODI debut in the second of the three ODIs yesterday. The Tigers lost the match by 67 runs and in the process, conceded the series 2-0 with a game to spare. Nurul made a decent enough debut scoring 24 runs under pressure at No 8 and took two catches. He also affected a stumping, that of Jimmy Neesham, off the bowling of Mosaddek Hossain.•
