When New Zealand notched up 97 runs on the scoreboard, Bangladesh managed to secure 7 wickets, placing the Tigers in a promising position despite having limited capital. However, the aggressive batting display by Glenn Phillips changed the dynamics, and the Kiwis managed to take an 8-run lead. As the third day concluded with Bangladesh leading by 30 runs, spinner Nayeem Hasan voiced his regret, feeling that the situation could have been better if they hadn't lost two wickets.
Nayeem Hasan represented the team at the press conference at the end of the day, expressing his remorse while maintaining confidence in the team's overall performance. He acknowledged that the wicket, even on a wet day, was more favorable for batting compared to the first day. The team's objective is to maximize their batting on this wicket, aiming to set a challenging target for New Zealand and secure a series win.
Reflecting on the potential winning margin, Nayeem Hasan stated, "If we can accumulate 200-220 runs, then I believe we can win the match." He emphasized the importance of the bowlers performing well and swiftly picking up wickets to achieve their desired outcome.
At the conclusion of the third day, Bangladesh, after 8 overs, scored 38 runs for the loss of 2 wickets, while New Zealand had earlier posted 180 runs in their first innings.
