Bangladesh beat New Zealand by 5 wickets with great partnership of 224-run from Mahmudullah and Shakib Al Hasan. New Zealand were knocked out of the ICC Champions Trophy. Chasing 266 to win the Group A game, Bangladesh slumped to 33 for four as Kiwi seamers Tim Southee, Trent Boult and Adam Milne made the new ball swing. Opener Tamim Iqbal, who had scored 128 and 95 in his last two innings, was trapped lbw for nought by Southee in the first over. But Mahmudullah and Shakib produced a vintage batting display, keeping the required run rate under control as they put together the first 200-run stand for Bangladesh in one-day internationals.
