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

#5 Kane Williamson’s misfortune

Kane Williamson fought hard but found little support yet again

You have got to feel for Kane Williamson. The Kiwi captain has been in absolutely brilliant form in this tournament. But unfortunately, he didn’t get much support from his teammates.

The classy right-hander scored a brilliant hundred against Australia in their first league game but was unfortunate to get run-out. He notched up yet another impressive 87 against England and was dismissed by a peach of a delivery from Mark Wood. And in this game, yet again, he got run-out after a playing a handy knock of 57.

Clearly, New Zealand relied heavily upon their skipper and that hurt them badly. In fact, that cost them a spot in the semi-finals.
