Marufa Akter to Eden Carson, FOUR, edged and four! Keeps this wide of off, Carson goes hard on the cut and gets a healthy edge past the diving keeper

Marufa Akter to Isabella Gaze, out Bowled!! Swing and a miss! That's the end of Gaze and Marufa has something to cheer about. It's angled in from back of a length, she looks to pull hard but it sneaks under the bat to clip the top of leg. Isabella Gaze b Marufa Akter 12(13) [4s-1]
49.3
Marufa Akter to Lea Tahuhu, 1 run, dropped by Nahida! Never looked like catching it. Good length outside off, Tahuhu swings hard, skies it off a thick edge and she comes running in from backward point for the catch. But barely gets a hand to it in the end
49.2
6
Marufa Akter to Lea Tahuhu, SIX, great start to the final over from Tahuhu! Full in the slot on off, Tahuhu swings hard and whacks it down the ground. All the way this time and Joty has to go to her bowler for a chat
49.1
4
Marufa Akter to Lea Tahuhu, FOUR, struck hard down the ground, bisects long-on and long-off to perfection and starts the over with a boundary. Length from Marufa and Tahuhu slaps it straight back. Joty shouts a few instructions for the bowler
48.5
W
Nahida Akter to Rosemary Mair, out Stumped!! Mair is yorked after stepping out! It zips through to the keeper, Joty somehow hangs on to it by pressing it against the thigh and then completes the stumping. Never easy to gather the ball when a batter has been yorked like that. But Joty pulls it off. Rosemary Mair st Nigar Sultana b Nahida Akter 2(4)

Nahida Akter to Isabella Gaze, FOUR, this time she's right to the pitch. Good use of the feet from Gaze and she hammers it hard past the bowler. No chance for long-off to her right
47.3
W
Rabeya Khan to Jess Kerr, out Jess Kerr Run Out!! Another wicket. Turning away off a length, Kerr cuts to cover and sets off for a risky single. She's struggling to make the crease and is well short of her ground as the bails are taken off. Good work from Marufa who quickly threw it back to the bowler. Jess Kerr run out (Marufa Akter/Rabeya Khan) 0(1)

W
Rabeya Khan to Green, out Stumped!! That's gone right through and Joty does the rest. Use of the feet from Green, doesn't pick the variation as it slides in through the gap between bat and pad. Wasn't to the pitch which created the chance in the first place. Joty does really well to gather it, given that it came between bat and pad. Might've been a deflection off the pad too. Green st Nigar Sultana b Rabeya Khan 25(28) [4s-3]

Rabeya Khan to Green, FOUR, Nishita has made a mess of it in the deep! Swept hard, goes to her on the bounce and she somehow fumbles it over the boundary. Was trying to backpedal to get into a good position. Almost managed to field with both hands but it eventually slipped out
45
4
Nahida Akter to Green, FOUR, the umpire almost came in harm's way! Green dances down and drills this straight back, goes very close to the head of the umpire before racing to the boundary. Phew that was close. Thankfully there was no contact

Nahida Akter to Green, FOUR, full toss and hammered! She steps out, gets a gift from Nahida and whacks it wide of long-on
43.4
W
Nishita Akter Nishi to Devine, out Bowled!! Big moment in the game. After a couple of sixes earlier in the over, Devine has missed one and the middle stump is pegged back. Fired in full from round the wicket, finds some turn and it sneaks under the bat as she goes for a slog-sweep. Huge breakthrough from Nishita in her final over. Devine b Nishita Akter Nishi 63(85) [4s-2 6s-2]
43.2

Nishita Akter Nishi to Devine, SIX, now the slog-sweep! Devine's had enough! Full in the slot, she gets low and wallops it over midwicket. That went over the boundary like a rocket
43.1
F
Nishita Akter Nishi to Devine, SIX, finally Devine breaks free! Charges down, gets close to the pitch and whacks it over midwicket. Brings up her fifty as well with that shot!
40.1
Nahida Akter to Devine, no run, throw goes to the wrong end! She mistimes the cut wide of extra cover, takes a few steps down the pitch but turns back. Green, at the other end, was even further down the pitch, and was almost halfway before turning back. Throw went to the keeper though

Fahima Khatun to Halliday, out Caught by Nigar Sultana!! Top-edge and the partnership is broken! Very slow through the air at 69kph, Halliday goes for the slog-sweep but fails to get hold of it. The ball goes straight up off the edge and Joty isn't dropping that with the gloves on. A good knock from Halliday comes to an end. Halliday c Nigar Sultana b Fahima Khatun 69(104) [4s-5 6s-1]

Fahima Khatun to Halliday, FOUR, gets low and sweeps it nicely through the gap at square leg as New Zealand are getting a move on

Marufa Akter to Devine, FOUR, second boundary of the over from Devine! Full on middle, angling in, she closes the face and puts it between backward square and short fine. Is this the over that turns the tide for New Zealand?
37.3
4
Marufa Akter to Devine, FOUR, driven very hard and it sneaks through the fielder at extra cover. Marufa disappointed with the effort from Fahima Khatun there and rightly so. She was too slow to get down. But not a great delivery either. Full and wide, allows Devine the room to free the arms
37.2
Marufa Akter to Halliday, 1 run, back of a length in the channel, Halliday punches from the crease through the covers
32.5
Shorna Akter to Devine, 1 run, was there an edge? Plenty of width outside off, Devine looks to cut and seems to have gotten an outside edge. Joty can't hold on to it. Was a reasonable deflection off the edge and she got hit on the finger. Will need some treatment from the physio
32.2
6
Shorna Akter to Halliday, SIX, nails the slog-sweep! Floated up outside off, Halliday sinks to her back knee and smokes it over midwicket. First six of the innings!

Nishita Akter Nishi to Halliday, FOUR, in the slot and Halliday hammers it over the infield! Clears the front leg, gets under it and swings hard over mid-on. Nice way to bring up fifty!

Fahima Khatun to Halliday, 1 run, turning in on off, Halliday gets low and sweeps to deep midwicket. 100 on the board in the 30th over

Nishita Akter Nishi to Halliday, FOUR, Halliday is being positive, full and just straying down leg, Halliday leaned across and just used the pace to paddle it fine
19.2

Marufa Akter to Halliday, FOUR, bit of width and punished! Length delivery slanting across outside off, Halliday hung back and slashed it away fiercely past backward point, was always going to be four once it beat the fielder in the ring
16.3

Fahima Khatun to Halliday, FOUR, nicely played, that should break the shackles a little bit, tossed up very full outside off, Halliday leans in and reverse-sweeps it fine, beat the fielder and it had enough pace to hit the ropes
15.2
Nishita Akter Nishi to Halliday, 2 runs, good length delivery just outside off, Halliday hangs back and waits before opening the face of the bat to run it towards backward point, little fumble allows an extra run

W
Rabeya Khan to Amelia Kerr, out Bowled!! Straight through her! Bangladesh are on a bit of a roll here! New Zealand have no answers to the mystery spin being sent down their way from Rabeya Khan. Good length delivery on middle, Amelia Kerr was rooted to her crease as she tried to fend this, had no idea which way it was turning and was in no position to defend her stumps as it snaked away, it beat the outside edge and shattered the stumps. Huge wicket for Bangladesh, Amelia Kerr is on her way back. Amelia Kerr b Rabeya Khan 1(10)

Rabeya Khan to Amelia Kerr, out Bates Run Out!! Another one! Confusion in the running and New Zealand have lost another! Length delivery just outside off, turned away as Amelia Kerr slashed it towards point and both batters were ball-watching. Kerr was already halfway down the pitch before Bates took off, there was just a little fumble from Sumaiya Akter but she recovered well and fired a good throw back to the keeper who whipped the bails off. Big and desperate dive from Bates cannot save her. She only has herself to blame really, she was very late to set off, was just stuck ball-watching. Bates run out (Sumaiya Akter/Nigar Sultana) 29(33) [4s-6]
8.2
W
Rabeya Khan to Plimmer, out Stumped!! Gone! Plimmer kicks her head back in disgust. This is excellent bowling from Rabeya Khan. They weren't reading her well and she's got her reward. Good length delivery on off-stump, Plimmer ran down at this very early, it turned away and beat the outside edge comfortably, Nigar Sultana did the rest, Plimmer was not even in the frame as the bails were ripped off. Scratchy knock comes to an end. Plimmer st Nigar Sultana b Rabeya Khan 4(18)

Marufa Akter to Bates, FOUR, not as convincing this time from Bates but it's four nevertheless! Good length in the channel, she looks to drive on the up, squirts it off a thick edge and it runs away through the gap at point
5.4

Marufa Akter to Bates, FOUR, way too short, sits up around the waist and Bates nails the pull shot through square leg. Lengths are on the two extremes from Marufa

Marufa Akter to Bates, FOUR, proper half-volley and it's been hammered! Hint of inswing, nothing that Bates can't adjust for and she crashes it through the gap at extra cover

Rabeya Khan to Bates, FOUR, oh nicely played! Good length just outside off, turns away and Bates plays late. She waits in the crease before cutting it behind backward point

Marufa Akter to Bates, FOUR, plenty of width outside off, it's on the shorter side too and Bates pounces. Cuts it nicely through point and it races away

Marufa Akter to Bates, FOUR, some width outside off, not much inswing this time and Bates cuts it away through the big gap at cover. Joty walks up to her bowler for a chat
0.3
Marufa Akter to Bates, no run, the finger goes up and Bates has taken the review! The impact seemed to be outside off. Let's see what ball-tracking says. Sharp inswinger again, Bates is outside the crease in defence, gets beaten on the inside edge before being hit on the back leg. Yes, impact clearly outside off as confirmed by ball-tracking. She's trying to counter the swing by stepping out. That's what saved her here
