Commentary -
It has been a wonderful all round display from New Zealand. The medium pacers have tied down the Bangladeshi top order with some good accurate bowling, and the NZ middle order have delivered for the team with some great hitting. Bangladesh will now play for pride in the 3rd and final ODI at Christchurch. Will Bangladesh pull off their first win ever on New Zealand soil? Join us for the coverage of the 3rd ODI on Feb 11. Until then, it is good bye

About the venue: The University Oval at Dunedin is the home of the Otago Volts. It is a small venue that has a seating capacity about 6000 people. The ground has hosted more rugby games than international cricket, so a drop-in wicket has been prepared for this particular One Day International.
New Zealand:
The Kiwis have nothing to worry about after brushing aside the hapeless Bangladesh team in both the one off T20 as well as the 1st ODI, and would be looking to go for the kill and seal the series at Dunedin tomorrow. They would however be wary of being complacent against the visitors who have the capability of surprising the opposition on their day. Their batting at the top was steered beautifully by debutant Peter Ingram who along with Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum would be expected to do the bulk of the scoring once again. The turning point in the 1st ODI however, turned out to be the match winning partnership between Jacob Oram and Neil Broom and the Kiwis would be expecting these 2 to deliver the goods once again towards the fag end of the innings. The bowlers clicked as a unit, chipping away with the wickets. Andrew McKay was impressive on debut and was well supported by the other bowlers, so the scene is rosy in the Kiwi camp at the moment. The only change could however be the inclusion of Ian Butler in place of Daryl Tuffey.
Bangladesh:
They would have looked to start the tour on a positive note after a disastrous home series against India and Sri Lanka but that wasn't to be as they were crushed comprehensively by a rampant New Zealand side in the earlier games. This match provides them a last chance to make a comeback and level the series because a loss here and they would be back to playing yet another dead rubber before moving on to the Test matches. The bowling in the initial overs was however a big plus for them in the 1st ODI and Shakib would be expecting his new ball bowlers to do the trick once again on the bouncy NZ wickets. The openers started off well in their pursuit of a mamoth target but once they fell, their batting fell like 9 pins, so that would be a big cause of concern for Jamie Siddons and the support staff. On current form though, levelling the series looks extremely bleak but as it has been with Bangladesh, they may well end up surprising the Kiwis if they play to full potential.
Quotes:
"It was frustrating with all the injuries and non performance over the last few months so it was good to come out and belt the ball and get some runs at Napier" - Jacob Oram , when asked about how he felt after his blistering knock.
