Disappointment abounds after 27th straight loss

Before the start of the New Zealand tour, Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal was hopeful of re-writing history and registering a first international win for the Tigers in the country after losing all 26 games across all formats in the nation.

Make that 27.

Bangladesh faced a crushing eight-wicket defeat to New Zealand after a helpless batting performance, which saw them bundled out for 130 runs -- their lowest total after coming in to bat first in the last three years.

The hope of registering a first win against the hosts at their den on Saturday is still one Bangladesh can fulfill on the upcoming matches on the tour, but for that the Tigers will have to show far more authority, especially with the bat.
