Player Of The Match/Lockie Ferguson: it was a classic team effort the black caps. everyone bowled really, created pressure throughout and then I could come in and do my role. Compared to what we had in hyderabad this had more bounce, I tried to test it out early and if it is working then stick to it, I pushed them back and then bowled the full ball. it is early stages but nice to get three wins. We are enjoying our time and the group is being great back together, looking forward to the next game. Fortunately I have got that experience (of travelling across india), I have’t played here much but it’s nice to get around and see some pace in the wicket, playing afghanisthan here next and hopefully the same wicket.

NZ have comeup with a hat-trick of wins. but little sheen would have gone off the as KW seem to be nursing another injury as he took a blow to one of his thumbs. that won’t br pleasing for sure. bangladesh have their woes to cater to as well. shakib seems to be more and more disconcerted and has gone for scans. that is enough to give the bangladesh fans a sleepless night tonight besides the fact that their team was drubbed today. the bowling attack of NZ is looking lethal as well. boult, henry and ferguson taking care of the pace department. Santner, Ravindra and phillips covering the spin base. this team is surely going the distance? third time lucky? questions and answers will continue on the loop as the tournament moves along.
