ICC Champions Trophy 2017, Bangladesh vs New Zealand: 5 Talking points

#3 Mosaddek Hossain’s spell of 3-0-13-3

Mosaddek Hossain took three crucial wickets to derail New Zealand’s innings in the last stage of the innings

While the kiwi middle-order didn’t show lot of character, take nothing away from the young Mosaddek Hossain for his brave and wily bowling. Coming in to bowl at a stage when New Zealand were looking to launch, Hossain’s spell changed the course of the game completely.

With two hard hitters in James Neesham and Corey Anderson at the crease, Hussain showed great temperament and awareness.

It was him who ran through the New Zealand middle-order and curtailed the run-flow in the process. The off-spinner bowled three economical overs at a crucial time in the innings. He was particularly impressive with his pace variation and he used the arm-ball to great effect to trouble kiwi left-handers.
