Broom, Williamson lead NZ over Bangladesh in ODI

AN unbeaten maiden century by Neil Broom guided New Zealand to a 67-run win over Bangladesh in the second one-day international in Nelson yesterday and a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Broom’s 109 not out held together a disjointed batting performance after New Zealand lost the toss, with the hosts scoring a modest 251. He then held two important catches and captain Kane Williamson took three wickets in a rare bowling appearance as Bangladesh collapsed spectacularly to be all out for 184 in 42.4 overs. Bangladesh seemed to be cruising to victory when Imrul Kayes (59) and Sabbir Rahman (38) combined in a 75-run stand for the second wicket which lifted the tourists to 105-1 in the 23rd over. But when Sabbir was run out at that score in an epic mix-up which left both batsman at the same end, Bangladesh wilted and lost its next six wickets for 36 runs.
