Ish Sondhi shines as New Zealand gets their first victory in ODI since 2008 in Bangladesh.
The New Zealand cricket team made history with their victory of 86 runs against Bangladesh in the second one-day international match. They registered their first win against the Tigers since 2008. While betting first, New Zealand faced a challenge against the bowlers of Bangladesh all the days for consistency, but they managed to post a target of 254 runs in 50 overs. The early wickets of Finn Allen and Will Young put New Zealand under pressure, but they managed to stabilize the innings.
Henry Nicholls contributed well with 49 runs in 61 balls, which included six boundaries. However, Tom Blundell played an amazing knock. His crucial innings of 68 runs off 66 balls, featuring six fours and a six, made an important contribution to New Zealand’s total.
Ish Sodhi played a crucial late-innings cameo, smashing 35 runs on 39 balls, including three sixes. However, the bowlers of Bangladesh, led by Khaled Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan, managed to pick up wickets at regular intervals to restrict New Zealand to 254.
