Bangladesh whitewash Black Caps in Dhaka

07:56 am on 18 October 2010

Bangladesh have whitewashed the Black Caps 4-nil in their one day international series in Dhaka, winning the final match by three runs.

The home side again managed only a meagre total of 174, but the run chase started disastrously for New Zealand who lost their first five wickets for only 20 runs.

Daniel Vettori and Grant Elliot with 43 and 59 respectively then put on 86 for the 6th wicket, and pace bowler Kyle Mills made 33 before being the last man out with the Black Caps four runs short of their first victory of the tour.
