BAN vs NZ: The way we pulled things back with ball was amazing - Santner

All-rounder Michael Bracewell picking up wickets in the middle phase of the game with his slow bowling was key to New Zealand's five-wicket victory in their Champions Trophy match against Bangladesh here on Monday, believed skipper Mitchell Santner. The positive result for New Zealand ensured their semifinals berth in the tournament along with India, while knocking out hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh from the mega event. Rachin Ravindra (112) and Michael Bracewell (4/26) were the two stars for New Zealand on the night. "Feels nice to qualify. Knew Bangladesh would be a challenge," Santner said in the post-match presentation ceremony. "The way we pulled things back with the ball was amazing. Hard to take middle-overs wickets in ODIs and Bracewell was amazing. He's a quality bowler now, the way he can change his pace on these wickets is outstanding. Bowls a lot to right-handers too," the captain added. He was also effusive in his praise for Ravindra who anchored the chase of 237 after

Champions Trophy: Pakistan team penalised for slow over rate in opener

The Pakistan team was on Thursday fined five percent of their match fee for maintaining a slow over-rate during their match against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy opener at the National Stadium in Karachi. The tournament hosts and defending champions lost to the Kiwis by 60 runs on Wednesday. Pakistan were found one over short of the target after time allowances were taken into consideration, the ICC said.

Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan pleaded guilty to the offence with no formal hearing required thereafter.
