There was a lot of drama in the New Zealand versus Bangladesh series, though there was only one clear winner. Moments of subtle madness and excitement never leave the game of cricket alone. That was once again the case when these two teams met. The fans really had a great time and the videos went viral on Social Media platforms.
One such video was the one of Daryl Mitchel completing his century in the last over of the third ODI between the two sides. The player completed his hundred on the final ball of the first innings. That too in quite dramatic fashion as the hosts ended on 318/6.
It was a one-sided game yet again with only one clear winner. The home side won the match yet again after they scored yet another 300+ score. It was always going to be tough for the visitors to win the match. Devon Conway kicked started the New Zealand innings with a brilliant 126 off 110 deliveries. He was even adjudged the Man Of The Match for his knock.
However, it was Daryl Michel who completed a century in some style. That was the talking point towards the end of the first innings. He helped set the target of 319 for Bangladesh, with his batting. He did so too in the last over of his team’s batting.
Below is the video of the final over in which Daryl Michel scored 13 runs to reach the milestone of a hard-earned 100. It was his batting that helped the team cross the 300-mark yet again

Well, the two teams are going to play a T20 series in the upcoming days after the 50-over format was dominated by the home side. Bangladesh will be keen to make up for the loss in this series, after being white-washed by the Kiwis. They will want to perform much better in the shorter format of the game.
Moreover, the series would be more important with the T20 World Cup coming up. Both teams will want to play some good cricket and push for a win. It always is crucial to gain some momentum with the IPL coming up too. The players will have a tough and highly intense few months this year. So, they will want to be physically and mentally prepared for the same.
Both teams will want to win their first major World Cup at the top level. They will want to put in a solid performance and challenge some of the other big contenders. If they can do that, they will be quite content with their performance. With that being said, the likes of Daryl Mitchel will want to do well on the grand stage. Let’s wait and watch if the players can really put up a show, not just in the upcoming series but the T20 World Cup as well. (beyondtheposts)
