NZ vs BAN | Twitter and Phillips chuckle as Jamieson’s six-eight frame fails him on a sitter

Playing the first match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Mitchell Santner, the New Zealand captain decided to field first. Despite a stable start the Asian nation collapsed against Michael Bracewell’s four-for before lower order resilince from Jaker Ali and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s 77 propelled Bangladesh past the 200-run mark. However, as the Kiwis sought for wickets during the final powerplay of the innings, Jamieson spilled a chance to earn his first ODI scalp on return for New Zealand.

On the fifth ball of the 48th over, Jamieson dished a back of a length delivery outside the woods that Taskin Ahmed tried to hack down the ground. However, the left-hander incurred a top-edge with the ball ballooning just behind the bowler who tried to reach out for it. Although it was in Jamieson's reach, he failed to come in good position and back peddle quick, leading to a dropped dolly, sparking chuckles across New Zealand’s best fielder Glenn Phillips, and sending the Twitterverse abuzz.

Bang on

Conceded 20-30 extra runs. It should have been 210-215 at max. Poor from Henry especially in death today.



Jamieson was a bit rusty, Understandably so.

Typo

Jamieson bowling in late February. This is exactly where it started going wrong. 13000 runs were reduced to 9250 type.
