New Zealand posted weak total in their second innings. Daryl Mitchell was the prominent players with 100 scores. However 288 was their second innings target for the England. Where England was looked better in their first innings. But in second innings their response is not defending. Jacob Bethel was out on duck while their openers were also failed to reached even their fifty. Currently team is now on 103 runs for 4 wickets. So by judging overall situation it seems that New Zealand will get this series. Because England is struggling in their second phase.

This match could have been played with equal strength and effort from both of them but Bangladesh have created a failure for themselves and this is due to their negligence. Bangladesh batsmen wasted the first innings due to their poor batting and the toughness of Zimbabwean bowlers due to which they could only score 140 runs. This was a good opportunity for Zimbabwe in which they played very hard and strong and scored 410 runs and I think they will not need to play a second innings because Bangladesh is playing as a weak team while they defeated Australia with a lot of changes but now they are playing poorly. Bangladesh have now scored 40 runs in their second innings and have lost 1 wicket and they will have to score a lot more runs which is enough tough for them. From which their defeat is clear and they will not be able to change the match and make their victory.

Today is the third day of this match in which the Bangladesh team has scored 40 runs in their second innings. Zimbabwe scored a very good and big lead position in their first innings, which has proven to be the huge lead of the first innings. They have kept their batting very strong. The highest score in today’s match was scored by Mahmudul Hasan Joy, who scored 21 runs while remaining not out. Apart from this, another player has also shown his success in this match with his good batting. Apart from this, 1 player has been dismissed, which shows that their wickets were as strong as they were. Now it is Zimbabwe’s turn to play their second innings. it will be seen how they bat in this innings and whether Bangladesh wins this match.

Bangladesh tour of Zimbabwe series includes 3 odi games, 3 t20 game and 1 test game. Test match between two teams was played first, and today Day 2 has been completed. Zimbabwe team won toss and they elected field first and gave batting lineup to Bangladesh team. Both teams have played their 1 st lineup and after 1 st lineup it looks like Zimbabwe team will win easily. Bangladesh batsmen batted so poor in 1 st line and made 140 runs only. Mominul batsmen only batted well from Bangladesh team and scored 60 runs in 81 balls and hitted twelve 4s. Mostly their batsmen performed worst and made few runs like 2 ,4, 5 etc. On other hand, Zimbabwe team made 410 runs in 1 at line and Newman bowler bowled out 4 wickets in 12 overs and gave 61 runs. Innocent opened line strongly and made half century 140 runs and hitted seventeen 4s. Bangladesh is currently batting in their 2 nd lineup. They have lost 1 wicket and scored 40 runs so far. To compete with Zimbabwe’s total, they still need 230 more runs.

NZ have played a much better game and they fought hard in both the innings and winning the game and it was a matter of which team would winning the series but NZ won the series with a modest target. Some people thought Eng were better but Nz scored runs quickly and worked hard to put pressure on them so they were able to catch up with Eng and their target was higher in both the innings and they winning. Both have played well in this series and Nz have also better their own performance because they were not very better in the first game so Eng could have winning the series but they were slow in this game. So their performance could not fight in this game and congratulations to them for this win they played very strongly and won.

One series cost two legends. Yup, two legends retired suddenly in this series of three test games. And the surprising thing was none of them had planned before to take this decision, it was sudden. Before Kane Williamson retired in the middle of the series and now Ben Stokes to take the retirement from all formats. Both players gave the same reason: they were not performing well in previous games; due to back-to-back failures and bad performance, they were at a point to end their legacy.
