ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 things that went wrong for New Zealand against Bangladesh

New Zealand are the first team knocked out of the competition

#4 Not getting a move on

Mosaddek Hossain bagged three wickets to run through the Kiwi lower order

In spite of Williamson’s dismissal, the Kiwis had done enough by then to double their score in the 30th over. Yet, between this incident and the end of the innings, New Zealand could manage to add only 113 more to their score in the remaining 20 overs.

The solid foundation laid by Williamson and Taylor was not capitalised on as the Kiwis never got a move on in the latter half of their innings. Ross Taylor, who was batting on 44 at the time of Williamson’s dismissal, departed after adding just 19 more to his tally in his next 24 deliveries.

Though the Kiwis played out the full 50 overs, regular fall of wickets meant none of the remaining batsmen was able to settle in and push the scoring rates in the slog overs.
