Double Milestone

The Black Caps’ tour of Bangladesh was a resounding success, with NZ winning both the Test and ODI series by comfortable margins. During the second Test captain Stephen Fleming overtook Martin Crowe as NZ’s highest Test run scorer. The match also marked his 87th Test outing, beating Richard Hadlee’s previous record of 86. After going down 2-0 in the Test series against Australia, the Black Caps came back with a nail-biting four wicket victory in the inaugural ODI match. The win marked the end of a three year ODI drought against Australia.
