Kiwis in landmark ODI loss to Bangladesh

May 24, 2017 - 11:08 PM New Zealand have succumbed to a five-wicket loss to Bangladesh in the final match of the tri-series in a setback to their Champions Trophy preparations.

The win in Dublin, with 10 balls to spare, was Bangladesh's first one-day international defeat of New Zealand away from home soil in 17 attempts.

The result didn't prevent the Black Caps from winning the tri-series, having secured it with their 190-run defeat of Ireland on Sunday.

New Zealand's failure to push on after opener Tom Latham, Neil Broom and Ross Taylor laid a sound top-order platform proved decisive as they stuttered home to 8-270.

Bangladesh overcame some mid-chase difficulties, when they lost three wickets for 17 runs, to respond with 5-271.

Captain Latham top-scored for the third successive Black Caps international, posting a patient 84 off 92 balls after his team were asked to bat.

Bangladesh thrived in their second-wicket stand, with Tamim Iqbal and Sabbir Rahman both scoring 65.
