Rana Rips Through Black Caps as Bangladesh Set up ODI Series Decider

Bangladesh’s bowlers restricted New Zealand to 247-8 before the chase was sealed by Saif Hassan’s 57 and Towhid Hridoy’s 55.

  • On Monday, Bangladesh defeated New Zealand by six wickets at Mirpur, leveling the three-match ODI series 1-1. Pace bowler Nahid Rana spearheaded the victory with a standout 5-32 performance.
  • New Zealand struggled on the sluggish pitch, managing only 198 all out in 48.4 overs. Despite Nick Kelly scoring 83 off 102 balls, consistent Bangladesh bowling pressure prevented the visitors from building substantial partnerships.
  • Tanzid and Shanto shattered early setbacks, adding 120 runs for the third wicket. Opener Tanzid Hasan struck 76 and Najmul Hossain Shanto made 50, carrying Bangladesh to victory with 87 balls remaining.
  • New Zealand captain Tom Latham admitted Bangladesh's pressure in the first 10 overs was defining. "Then obviously trying to defend 200, it's important to take early wickets," Latham said.
  • The series-deciding third ODI takes place on Thursday in Chattogram. With the series now tied 1-1, the final match will determine the winner after New Zealand won the opening game.
