Devon Conway showed why he will be New Zealand's key batter at the Twenty20 World Cup by top-scoring in an eight-wicket tri-series win over Bangladesh in Christchurch on Sunday. | Sport24news
Conway batted with control for his unbeaten 70 off 51 balls as the Black Caps chased down 137-8 at Hagley Oval with 13 balls to spare.
He put on 85 for the second wicket alongside captain Kane Williamson before Glenn Phillips' quickfire 23 not out off nine balls rounded out New Zealand's first win of the tournament. Earlier, Black Caps legspinner Ish Sodhi became the fifth bowler to take 100 T20I wickets, removing top-scorer Najmul Hossain Shanto in his first over to reach the milestone.
Bangladesh captain and world-class allrounder Shakib Al Hasan, who missed the first game after arriving late to Christchurch, scored 16 off 16 balls but failed to make an impact with the ball."I thought New Zealand's spinners bowled really well," he said.
