Black Caps Win Rain-Hit T20 to End Bangladesh Series 1-1

Bevon Jacobs scored 62 not out as New Zealand chased 102 in 11.4 overs and levelled the three-match series 1-1.

  • On Saturday, New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by six wickets in the third T20, leveling the three-match series at 1-1 in Dhaka. Bevon Jacobs hit his maiden half-century with an unbeaten 62 off 31 balls to anchor the chase.
  • Rain halted play for over two hours, reducing the contest to 15 overs. Bangladesh collapsed early, reaching 50-3 in 6.4 overs before losing seven wickets for 39 runs in 35 balls after resumption.
  • Bevon Jacobs struck five fours and three sixes in his 31-ball knock, partnering with Dean Foxcroft in an unbeaten 71-run stand. Pacer Josh Clarkson led New Zealand's bowling with career-best 3-9, dismantling Bangladesh's middle order.
  • New Zealand salvaged the tour with this victory after Bangladesh won the first match; the second fixture was rained out. The result leaves both teams with equal standing heading forward.
  • Leg-Spinner Ish Sodhi took 1-22 to become New Zealand's all-time leading T20 wicket-taker with 165, surpassing pace bowler Tim Southee's previous record of 164.
