Commentary

That's all we have from the coverage of this contest then. You can switch tabs and hop onto the West Indies Legends vs England Legends game, which will get underway in a few minutes time. That's all from myself, Pratyush, and my partner, Bidipto. See ya!

Right then. There was a significant rain delay but we got enough entertaining cricket eventually. In a 11-over per side contest, legends from both sides delivered an entertaining contest. Bangladesh came out second-best, handing New Zealand their first win of the tournament. Bangladesh are now in must-win territory, while New Zealand will play the India Legends on Monday.

Kyle Mills is the Player of the Match. Here is what he has to say: It was a little bit humid tonight so it did swing around. We took a few good catches. First win of the competition, which is important for the team morale. Haven't been playing at all. Retired in 2015 and there hasn't been much since. The thing I miss most about playing cricket is the changing room, the banter and the laughs. It's good to be back in that environment since last week.

Ross Taylor, New Zealand Legends captain: The toss of course was important, but we batted well and chipped in with some handy contributions. Kyle and Hamish did well for us to get things started with the ball. Scott Styris will be fine, he did recover just a bit after taking that catch, but not sure whether he will play again. We are now looking forward to the next game against Sachin's India.

Mohammad Sharif, Bangladesh Legends captain: I think the toss was the biggest factor today, but I think out batters batted well today, especially the middle order. We did not bowl in the good areas, especially after the start. Let's hope for the best now against Australia.

It is now time for the post-match presentation!

New Zealand Legends won by 8 wickets.

Dean Brownlie - 31* (19) | Kyle Mills 2/11
Dhiman Ghosh - 41* (32) | Abdur Razzak - 1/12

Bangladesh fought hard in this contest but they were second best throughout. They fought back strongly after stuttering at 18-3 but responded strongly courtesy of a brilliant partnership between Ghosh and Kapali, as the two got their side close to a total which give them sort of a chance in this game.

They did cause a few jitters for the New Zealanders in the powerplay but they were never really able to capitalize on it. The 21-run fourth over from Mahmud gave all the momentum they needed and they never looked back since. Brownlie and How got their side back on track after an iffy start, putting them in the ascendancy.

Kapali was eager to make an impact with the ball as well, dismissing How in his first over but things didn't go to plan. Ross Taylor came in the middle and breezed through the remainder of this run chase, fittingly scoring the winnings runs and spoiling Kapali's bowling figures by doing so as well.

So, New Zealand Legends have got their first win in this tournament. There were a couple of changes in their side but they did well to outclass their opponents and will now hope to keep this run going. Stick around for the presentations.

9.3 Alok Kapali to Ross Taylor, THAT IS A NEW ZEALAND LEGENDS WIN RIGHT THERE! Full outside off, driven hard through the covers, and down to the right of deep cover, for a comfortable two off the front foot! Quite befitting that skipper Ross Taylor gets it done so convincingly!

9.2 Alok Kapali to Ross Taylor, SIX MORE! Good length ball on middle and SMACKED well over long-on from the crease for a MAXIMUM!

Well, Ross Taylor obviously had other plans. He wants to get done with this!

9.1 Alok Kapali to Ross Taylor, MAGNIFICENT SHOT! Good length ball outside off and HAMMERED over wide long-on off the slog-sweep for a HUGE SIX!

Nothing silly from the Kiwi batters. They're happy to tip-toe their way to the finish line rather than going all guns blazing and risking to leave the door open for Bangladesh.
