CWC15 LIVE - NZ Narrowly Overcome Spirited Bangladesh

#NewZealand v #Bangladesh,
13th Mar 2015

New Zealand just about managed to hold their nerve against a highly spirited Bangladesh team in their Pool A match at #SeddonPark in #Hamilton to lead Pool A without losing a game. They take the full 12 points from this group.

Bangladesh, on the back of a stunning victory over England a few days ago, produced yet another gutsy display, first with the bat through a superb #Mahmudullah century and then followed it up with dogged discipline in their bowling ranks, to take the match right down to the wire.

For New Zealand, they faced a real stiff test before the knockouts and that will do them some real good. A tough game, some changes in personnel, a rare BrendonMcCullum failure and most importantly good batting practice for the middle and late order batsmen.

New Zealand will now face either of #Pakistan / #WestIndies / #Ireland (the fourth placed team in Pool B) at Westpac Stadium, Wellington

Bangladesh in all probability will now face defending champions #India (toppers in Pool B) at the #MCG.

All in all a cracker of a game.

CWC 2015 LIVE - Buttler Blitz Ignites Chances Of Win v Ban

#Eng v #Ban, #Adelaide

#JosButtler is blitzing his way towards the target of 276 needed to win this game for England vs Bangladesh. In a precarious position at 163 for 6, #ChrisWoakes joined him and they have taken the fight to the opposition camp.

He is using all his orthodox and unorthodox techniques to bludgeon boundaries and runs all over the Adelaide Oval and sent shock waves in the Bangla team.

Just goes to show, the match ain't over until the last bowl is bowled or wicket taken. Bangladesh seemed to have started their victory celebrations prematurely and are caught off-guard. They need to regroup.

#LIVE #SCORE
Eng: 229 for 6 (45 overs)
Buttler - 63*
Woakes - 25*

What atmosphere at the Adelaide Oval!! Wonderful scenes as we uncover an edge-of-the-seat thriller!
