	Match Scorecard
Man of the Match: S Shuvo	Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur (11 Oct,2010)

Everyone expected NZ to bounce back in this match with better bating performance. But the things didn’t go as per plan as McCullum fell for a duck. Ryder and Watling batter slowly and sensibly to take them to 54/1 in 13 with COW of 49% before great spells by Shakib and Shuvo saw them stumble to 100/6 in 32 overs with a COW of 36%. Taylor and Mills revived the innings with a hard hitting stand but once Mills fell, Mahmadullah cleaned up the tail and NZ ended at 173 runs with a COW of 34%. Any hopes Kiwis might have had were snuffed out as Imrul and Shahriar put together 127 runs for the first wicket as Bangladesh’s COW went up to 82%. After that it was just academic as Bangladesh cruised home with 10 overs to spare to claim their first ever series win over another test playing nation.
