Bangladesh crumble in chase as New Zealand cruise to 100-run winBangladesh’s batting unravelled in dramatic fashion as they crashed to a 100-run defeat against New Zealand in their Women’s World Cup fixture. After an opening-match win against Pakistan, Bangladesh have now suffered back-to-back defeats in the tournament, including Tuesday’s loss to England. Earlier, disciplined spin bowling had restricted New Zealand to 227 for nine, but the chase quickly fell apart. New Zealand’s bowlers shared the spoils -- Jess Kerr (3-21), Tahuhu (3-22), and Mair (2-20) leading the way -- as Bangladesh were bowled out 10 overs early. Bangladesh will next face South Africa on Monday, needing a win to keep their campaign alive.
