Ross Taylor blasted a 52-ball 78 as New Zealand thrashed Bangladesh by 5 wickets on Monday to win their second game of the three-match ODI series. Powered by Taylors knock,the hosts completed the formalities in only 27.3 overs. New Zealands chase got off to a bad start,with Brendon McCullum falling in the third over,but they never looked in danger of losing.
Earlier,Bangladesh had a familiar batting collapse with six batsmen back in the hut with only 46 on board. Only a late-order fight back from Musfiqur Rahim 86 and Naeem Islam 43 brought some respectability to the score.
