Bangladesh made a rare morale-boosting history by winning the third and final ODI by 4 wickets against the touring New Zealand and thus gave the visitors another bitter taste of ‘Banglawash’, Bengali substitute of ‘Whitewash’, at Fatullha Sunday.
Winning the toss at Khan Shaheb Osman Ali Stadium Narayanganj, Bangladesh chose to bowl first and were too expensive letting the Black Caps to score 307/5, the highest total in the ground.
But the Tigers were too brilliant to surpass the target losing 6 wickets with 4 balls to spare.
