The final ball of the first over after lunch on the first day was the culmination of a series of errors on the field. The dramatic scenes began when the ball thrown by Bangla bowler Ebadat Hossain hit the Kiwis batsman Will Young’s bat and went into the slip. The second slip fielder tried to catch the ball with a full dive to the left, but the ball bounced off the fielder’s hand and went to the fine leg boundary. Meanwhile, Tom Latham and Will Young finished with three runs each. Bangladeshi batsman Taskin Ahmed blocked the ball to the boundary but both the fielders were unable to catch the ball. Bowler Ebadat Hossain then ran to block the ball, but it could not be stopped. New Zealand added four more runs when the ball touched the boundary.
Meanwhile, across the Tasman Sea… ⛴️
