NEW DELHI: New Zealand’s all-rounder Michael Bracewell stole the show with a four-wicket haul, helping his side restrict Bangladesh to 236 for nine in their Champions Trophy clash in Rawalpindi on Monday. The left-handed batter and off-spinner delivered impressive figures of 4/26 in his 10 overs, setting the tone for a disciplined New Zealand performance.
Bangladesh’s innings was anchored by skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto, who top-scored with 77 off 110 balls, though his efforts couldn’t prevent a collapse in the middle overs.
