Bangladesh face uphill struggle

Bangladesh failed to muster a par total for the second World Cup match running as New Zealand scented the victory which will take them alongside Australia at the top of the Super Eight table.

Jacob Oram and Shane Bond were the main reasons Bangladesh managed only 174 all out, after being put in on a sunny morning at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.

Oram reprised his partnership with wicketkeeper Brendon McCullum to see off the Bangladesh openers after a stand of 55 - and then Bond returned to swing the old ball at pace and take two of four wickets which fell for only seven runs in 29 balls.

Scott Styris (four for 39) emerged - statistically at least - as the Kiwis' best bowler, but the most telling work was done before his medium-pace assortment finished the job.
