New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by 86 runs to take an early 1-0 lead in the three-match ODI series because to Tom Blundell’s valiant fifty and Ish Sodhi’s outstanding bowling performance of 6/39.
The visitors won the toss and decided to bat first in the second game. As Mustafizur opened the scoring for Bangladesh, Will Young nicked one to the wicketkeeper for a duck, and Finn Allen was out for 12 to become Mustafizur’s second victim. Chad Bowes’ brief stay was quickly ended by Khaled Ahmed for 19-ball 14.
With a 95-run partnership for the fourth wicket, Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell spearheaded the recovery effort before Ahmed took Nichols for 49. Blundell reached his fifty before being fired for violating Rule 68. Ish Sodhi (35) and Kyle Jamieson (20) made useful cameos to help New Zealand record a respectable total of 254.
Bangladesh lost their captain Litton Das first up for 6 runs while attempting to chase down 255, thanks to Kyle Jamieson’s wicket. Before Ish Sodhi struck twice in the 11th over to dismiss Tanzid Hasan for 16 and dismiss Soumya Sarkar without making a score, Tanzid Hasan and Tamim Iqbal had put up a second-wicket partnership of 41 runs.
From that point on, Sodhi dominated the Bangla batsmen, recording his best stats of 6/39. While other batsmen continued to fall frequently, Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah played well in their comeback game, scoring 44 and 49 runs, respectively. Bangladesh was eventually defeated by a score of 86 runs after being knocked out for 168. Jamieson took two wickets, compared to six for Sodhi.
