New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 2nd ODI, Bangladesh tour of New Zealand, 2021 - CommentaryNZ vs BAN, 2nd ODI, Bangladesh tour of New Zealand, 2021 - Commentary

Sanjay: Latham is many ways similar to Virat when it comes to batting in ODI. He doesn't have many dot balls and maintains close to 100 strike rate despite hitting less boundaries. -- That's a massive comparison.

Shaurya Vikram: Bangladesh's fielding during this match has been horrible except that run-out effected by Tamim.

Mustafa Moudi: Fun Fact: This is the 101st ODI for Latham and India-England ODI (which is set to begin in few minutes) too is the 101st ODI between the sides!!

Biplab: Tom Latham has real class, always eye pleasing to watch him bat.

Shaurya Vikram: Tom Latham has really played a captain's innings this match. -- Bangladesh have also helped by dropping him.

Shammi Sadwal: After good overs at start of innings Bangladesh have been erratic in bowling and fielding plans. They are giving easy runs to NZ.

H Murdoch: "This game reminds me a lot of the 2017 ICC Champions trophy game between these two sides where Bangladesh came out on top. This time the roles have been reversed. Can Latham and Conway do what Al Hassan and Mahmudullah did?"

Prabakar: It's all about Bangladesh off spinners today as New Zealand have 4 Left hand batters in top 7. Interesting!!!

RPS: Decent total, not sure if its below par or not but now bowlers need to open up their bank of skills to pull off a win or at least fight for it.

Atikur Rahman: Bangladesh have improved in the batting section and now it's time for their bowlers to prove themselves.

nitesh pareek: Any score of 260+ will make this match more interesting as keeping in mind that 1st batting team dominates. -- It will be interesting if the ball does not skid on under lights.

Manan Sawhney: 260-270 should be what Bangladesh look for. -- They can reach that with wickets in hand.

prashant: The 'Save Wickets' strategy is working but they have to maintain 6+ runs per over for a fighting total

Steve: When will this ball-eating trend of Bangladesh Cricket end? They have to realize that they have to at least rotate the strike!!

sharath J: This partnership will be crucial for Bangladesh. If these two bat till 40 overs or beyond, the platform will be perfectly set for the likes of Mahmudullah, Mehidy Hasan, Mahedi Hasan to unleash in the death overs.

Mashayeakh islam: Bangladesh will have to set 250+ to make the difference

Vishal: Bangladesh haven't really developed their cricket much since they started playing. They register a a shock win here and there and stay in the limelight. Teams like Ireland and Afghanistan deserve more opportunities

Vinay: One can understand that Bangladesh want to rebuild after losing an early wicket but this isn't a bad pitch to bat on. Going at less than 2 an over and playing so conservatively just prevents collapses - it won't win Bangladesh any matches.

Mizgan: Teams chasing generally win D/N ODI games in New Zealand. Scores of 270 plus has to be put to challenge the opposition. Bangladesh will have to play smart cricket, or else the Kiwis could wrap this up early.
