craig kieswetter

Craig Kieswetter was the hero for England as they completed a whitewash against Bangladesh in the One Day International series.

England completed the 3-0 victory over Bangladesh with a 45 run advantage with South African born Kieswetter scoring his maiden ODI century, ending on 107 from 124 balls.

The England team had reached 284 for 5 in their innings and seamer Tom Bresnan played his part with a superb 4 for 28 keeping Bangladesh on the back foot throughout.

The Tigers could only muster 239 for 9 and ended the game in Chittagong easily beaten. But it was not all plain sailing for England and the Bangladesh spinners kept England at bay for long periods of the match and while one South African born player earned the plaudits another, Kevin Pietersen again raised question marks over his one day game, falling lbw for a measly 22.

Paul Collingwood was also short of his most fluent game and fell for 36, But Kieswetter along with Eoin Morgan, took the batting powerplay in the 41st over and effectively won the game with a splendid 103 from the last nine overs.

Final score:
England 284 for 5   Bangladesh 239 for 9
