Nahid Rana 5 Wickets: Bangladesh’s fast bowler Nahid Rana has wreaked havoc in the second ODI against New Zealand. He single-handedly outweighs half the Kiwi team. The effect of their havoc was that it became difficult for New Zealand to score even 200 runs in the match played in Dhaka. Batting first, the New Zealand team could not even play 50 overs and were all out after scoring 198 runs in 48.4 overs.
Nahid Rana cleans half the team!
In the second ODI, the role of Bangladesh’s 23-year-old right-arm fast bowler Nahid Rana was most important in restricting New Zealand to within 200 runs. He not only bowled his 10 overs economically but also took 5 wickets in them. Meaning, he single-handedly took half of the 10 wickets that fell for the Kiwi team. He bowled the second best bowling of his ODI career.
5 wickets for 32 runs in 10 overs
In the second ODI against New Zealand, Nahid Rana took 5 wickets for 32 runs in 10 overs. This is the second wicket of his ODI career, which has come after a gap of 40 days. He took 5 wickets for the first time in ODI against Pakistan in Mirpur. Nahid Rana then took 5 wickets while giving 24 runs, which is his best performance. With taking 5 wickets in the second ODI against New Zealand, Nahid Rana’s number of wickets in ODI has now increased to 10. This was the 10th match of his ODI career.
Hunted these New Zealand batsmen
5 batsmen whom Nahid Rana hunted against New Zealand. The names of Henry Nicholls, Will Young, Mohammad Abbas, Dean Foxcroft and Jayden Linx were included among them. Nick Kelly scored the maximum 83 runs for New Zealand.
Bangladesh has a chance to level the series
A 3-match ODI series is being played between New Zealand and Bangladesh. New Zealand won the first match of this series by 26 runs. But now in the second ODI, Bangladesh’s bowlers have given a tremendous bounceback. It remains to be seen whether they are able to capitalize on this opportunity or not.
