Skipper Tom Latham scored a brilliant century to guide New Zealand to a five-wicket win over Bangladesh in the second ODI here on Tuesday. With this win, the hosts have taken an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Latham played an unbeaten knock of 110 runs to help New Zealand chase down the target of 272 runs. Devon Conway also scored 72 runs in the match. Chasing the target, New Zealand witnessed a steady start as opener Henry Nicholls and Martin Guptill scored regular boundaries. Mustafizur Rahman provided Bangladesh with the first breakthrough when he caught and bowled Guptill (20). Soon after that, Mahedi Hasan sent Nicholls (13) back to the pavilion.

The fall of wickets did not stop as Hasan then removed Will Young (1). Devon Conway and Tom Latham then took over and revived New Zealand’s innings. Both took their side past the 150-run mark, with Conway completing his half-century.

New Zealand’s chase was hampered after Conway (72) got run out in the 34th over. James Neesham then joined Latham, who also went on to score his fifty. After the completion of 38 overs, New Zealand’s score read 200/4, with the hosts still needing 72 runs to win from the remaining 12 overs.

Brief Scores: Bangladesh 271/6 (Tamim Iqbal 78, Mohammad Mithun 73*; Mitchell Santner 2/51); New Zealand 275/5 (Tom Latham 110*, Devon Conway 72; Mahedi Hasan 2/42).

Aditi Rao Hydari admits she is sensitive. Being thick-skinned is hard for her, despite being in an industry where criticism is part and parcel of a celebrity’s life. “People revel in comparing, pulling people down and criticising. I am very sensitive. So, the thick-skinned thing is hard for me. I feel everything. I will laugh as loudly as I cry and I am okay with that. The whole sensitive side as an actor — I am like that as a person. So, I can have hard days and it is tough but I feel I always try looking at the silver lining,” said Aditi, who was recently seen in the digitally-released film ‘The Girl On The Train’.

She added: “An actor’s rejection is so personal. They are rejecting you. It is always you. It is so personal. It can be very difficult and it can be very heart-breaking.”

Aditi, who will soon be seen in the anthology ‘Ajeeb Dastaans’, and the Tamil rom-com ‘Hey Sinamika’, does not give importance to her bad days. “I am the kind of person who will always look for the sunshine whatever dark spot you put me in so if I am having my bad days I will count my blessings. If somebody walks through the door I’ll find five good things about them rather than two things I don’t like about them,” she said.

Aditi added, “This keeps me happy and upbeat and it helps me to look forward to happy things rather than concentrate on happy stuff because the crappy stuff is there we can’t do away with it. But isn’t it nicer to look at happy things? Otherwise, it is endless.”

NEW DELHI: Bhumi Pednekar on Tuesday shared that she wants to shatter the industry stereotype of how an actress should look on-screen. Bhumi, who has done remarkable films like her debut ‘Dum Laga Ke Haisha’ — which saw her as an overweight girl on screen — said, “For many, it has always been about the outer physical beauty but gone are those days where people were concerned. My thing was that it doesn’t matter. I am going to change your definition of what a quintessential Hindi film female actress is all about.”

“We are all in this profession – the idea is to perform all these different parts and be a part of these amazing stories that move people, bring about a change about what people think about themselves and that is exactly what I am going to do,” she added.

Bhumi has many such movies under her belt where she battled patriarchy such as ‘Sonchiriya’, ‘Saand Ki Aankh’, and ‘Bala’. The actress is looking forward to bring a change by creating her own beauty standard through her films. Bhumi asserted, “I want people to love themselves. I want people to be more accepting of who they are, I want to entertain my audiences for sure and that is my number one priority and I want to leave them with a thought, a positive thought, a thought that will make their world a better place.”

She will be next seen in ‘Badhaai Do’. Besides this, Bhumi also has Karan Johar’s multi-starrer ‘Takht’ in the pipeline. 

MUMBAI: Tiger Shroff has given a new meaning to the word trust with his new jaw-dropping stunt. Tiger posted a video on Instagram. In the clip, a person is seen standing on a tall box holding a piece of sponge cube by his mouth.

Television actress Krystle D’souza, who has debuted on the silver screen with Anand Pandit’s mystery thriller ‘Chehre’, has recalled the memories of meeting megastar Amitabh Bachchan on the sets of the film.

The Amitabh Bachchan and Emraan Hashmi starrer mystery thriller ‘Chehre’ has been in the news since its inception. The movie has managed to grab the attention of the audience with an intriguing trailer which was launched recently by the filmmakers. Helmed by Rumy Jafry, the movie leads the audience through a puzzling path stacked with mystery, anticipation, truth, allegations, defence, and struggle.

Recalling the moment she met Amitabh Bachchan for the first time on the set, Krystle said, “I can never forget that day, it feels like just yesterday. I went up to him and introduced myself and he introduced himself back and I said of course I know! He was so warm, welcoming and so jovial at the same time. We did a few line rehearsals and went straight into the take while my mom stood in a corner teary-eyed!” The film is all set to hit the screens on 9 April.
