           they will no doubt believe they gave Bangladesh 30-50 runs more
            than they should've in the end, lengthening their chase
            considerably, which was done pretty safely throughout, but there
            were stuttery periods where runs didn't exactly flow off the bat
           all five batsmen used got starts and made contributions, McMillan
            leading the way, 'born again' as an opening batsman to fill a role
            in South Africa, smacking 75 off 83 balls in typical belligerent
            fashion, being rather inventive at times, though
           ultimately it also caused his downfall in less-than-glamorous style
           Fleming looked very classy again, following on from his epic ton
            against South Africa, but attempted an inexplicable stroke, and
            though replays show it is hard to tell whether he was caught
            directly off the knee or there was a little underedge first, he
           paid the price and had to depart, Adams came in and played a handy
            little cameo before Styris and Cairns came together to do the
            final damage
           not much to talk about in terms of the Bangladesh bowling, except
            for Khaled Mahmud, who bowled his 10 overs straight, being very
            hard to get away, mixing up his pace and taking all three wickets
            to fall, an impressive performance given his side and
           fellow bowlers were on a hiding to nothing once New Zealand made a
            safe start and an upset wasn't really on the cards any more
           time for the presentations, and it should be a toss-up for Man of
            the Match between Shane Bond and Craig McMillan today
           and for his punishing knock of 75 from 83 deliveries, match referee
            Mike Procter awards it to Craig McMillan
