Guptill, Southee praise fightback

Opener Martin Guptill and paceman Tim Southee praised New Zealand's fightback in their hard-earned three wickets win over Bangladesh in Hamilton on Friday, hoping it will stand them in good stead in the knock-out stage.
"It was a bit of a topsy-turvy game. They were on top for a lot of it, then we fought back and then they fought back again. It's just nice to get the win under the belt and show some fight towards the end, and the way Timmy and Dan (Vettori) finished it off was pretty fantastic," said Guptill.
"It's always nice to score a hundred, whether it's in the World Cup or not. It's nice to get the end result there and get the win, as well."
Southee, who finished wicketless, came in to bat with 20 still needed off 16 balls.
"Obviously a tight finish, and it just shows we found another way to win another game of cricket, and I think that's a testament to the side," said Southee.
"We were challenged in different ways, and we managed to come through it and add another two points to the total. Yeah, it's a different win for us, but it just shows us the quality in the side and we can win when we're in difficult circumstances throughout the game."
