New Zealand won the three-match series 2–0 by defeating Bangladesh by 28 runs in the second T20 International on Tuesday. The umpires had to stop the match when referee Jeff Crowe of Bangladesh started playing before the revised score was officially decided. The umpires then stopped the match for 1.3 overs, awaiting official information on the new target.
New Zealand all-rounder Jimmy Neesham tweeted derisively on Twitter that you could start scoring without knowing how many goals you should chase. Crazy stuff. After accepting a batting invitation for the match on Tuesday, New Zealand were bowled out for 173 for five wickets in the rain. Bangladesh scored a revised target of 170 in 16 overs to win the Duckworth-Lewis method, but the team could only score 142 for seven.
How to start a run chase without knowing what you’re chasing? Crazy stuff. #NZvBAN
