“It’s unbelievable!” said seamer Taskin Ahmed as a small band of flag-waving Bangladeshis celebrated the triumph on the Bay Oval boundary.
“It was a great achievement for us, our first win out of Asia. We stuck to the process. We gave 110 per cent. It feels great.”

“We were not quite there in all three facets,” said stand-in captain Tom Latham.
“Bangladesh showed us how to go about things on that wicket … and they thoroughly deserved the win.”
The Game of Uncertainty has once again spilled it’s fresh beans and turned the table for New Zealand team, so that they go back to their planning board and chalk out a new strategy without perceiving the youth and lesser experience of Bangladesh team.
