New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 1st ODI at Dunedin, NZ v BDESH, Dec 17 2023 - Match Result

cleans him up! Maiden ODI wicket for O'Rourke and NZ win the first ODI by 44 runs (DLS)! Sizzling yorker on off stump and it has the beating of Mahmud. He has a mow at it but gets nowhere close to the ball. Sneaks under the bat and thunders into the stumps. O'Rourke is thrilled, as are the NZ players. They have been full value for this victory!

hard length on middle and leg. Mahmud is cramped for room and blocks it to backward point

nasty bouncer on off stump. Mehidy does well to fend it away into space on the leg side. The ball hit the splice

full on off stump. Mahmud pokes it towards extra cover and this time, runs like a sprinter. Might have been out with a direct hit, though

fullish on off stump. Mahmud comes half forward and prods it towards backward point. A bit of hesitation between the batters but no damage done

banged into the track outside off. Mehidy jumps up onto his toes and dabs it down to third man

off-pace and full on off stump. Mahmud clears his front leg and chips it over Latham at mid off

similarly sharp back of a length delivery. Mahmud has another poke at it and is beaten all ends up

sharp back of a length delivery on off. Nips away and squares up Mahmud completely. Too good to get a nick

through the hands! Shortish outside off. Mehidy is unsure whether he wants to slash it over backward point or play it past him. In the end, he hits it straight to Ravindra, who makes a meal of it

back of a length on off. Mahmud plonks it into the off side and Mehidy hares across to the other end

full and hung outside off, perhaps as a response to Mehidy shaping up for the scoop. Tries to manufacture a reverse lap in the end but does not get bat on ball

second six of the over! Right in the slot on middle and off. Mehidy gets his front foot out of the way, swings through the line and crunches it over mid off!

off-pace and dug into the track outside off. Mehidy is too early into the stroke and cannot make any contact. Called the second bouncer of the over

four more! Short on leg stump and Mehidy capitalises again. Rocks back, gets on top of the bounce and hammers it behind square!

full on off stump. Mehidy punches it straight to the fielder at mid off

goes all the way! Slower bumper on leg stump that sits up to be hit. Mehidy waits long enough for it and heaves it over the long leg fence!

slower ball on a length on off stump. Mehidy nudges it to extra cover's left and retains strike

fuller on middle and off. Mahmud gets half forward and drives with a straight bat past the bowler. Mid on, though, sprawls to his left and gets a hand to it, denying Mahmud a boundary
