Bangladesh opener Soumya Sarkar showed glimpses of return to form in the second and third ODIs of the three-match series against New Zealand, but could not finish things off for his side due to a bizarre issue.   

Young seamer Tanzim Hasan Sakib expressed his satisfaction after bagging a player-of-the-match performance as Bangladesh crushed New Zealand by nine wickets in the third ODI in Napier today.

Rain and a damp outfield forced the abandonment of the second one-day international between New Zealand and Australia without a ball being bowled in Napier on Thursday.

After being dropped in the last two one-day internationals at Nelson, left-handed batsman Soumya Sarkar is likely to return in the first T20I against New Zealand at Mclean Park in Napier tomorrow.

Shakib Al Hasan believes that Bangladesh still have the chance of redemption of some sort going into the T20 part of their long series in New Zealand.
