DHAKA: Ish Sodhi became the first New Zealand spinner to claim six wickets in a One-day International, guiding the Black Caps to an 86-run victory in the second match of their three-match series in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
Sodhi contributed a crucial 35 with the bat as well to go with his career-best 6-39 as New Zealand registered their first victory in Bangladesh since 2008 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
After the first match had been washed out, the Kiwis took the chance to get into winning ways with the World Cup looming.<\/p>\n
In the 46th over, pace bowler Hasan Mahmud ran Sodhi out as he was backing up at the non-striker\u2019s end when on 17, but Bangladesh captain Liton Das called him back.<\/p>\n
Sodhi, who went on to help the side post 254 in 49.2 overs, then ran through Bangladesh\u2019s top order in a superb display of leg-spin.<\/p>\n
Wicket-keeper Tom Blundell made a team-high 68 off 66 balls, with six fours and one six, and Henry Nicholls scored 49. They put on a 95-run partnership for the fourth wicket to set the platform.<\/p>\n
Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman had reduced New Zealand to 2-26 after the visitors opted to bat first. He removed Will Young, who made 58 in the first match, for a duck and then claimed the wicket of Finn Allen for 12.<\/p>\n
Debutant Syed Khaled Ahmed (3-60), got into the act with the wicket of Chad Bowes for 14, as New Zealand slumped to 3-36 before Nicholls and Blundell got them back on track.<\/p>\n
Sodhi propelled the side past 250, hitting three sixes in his knock before being the last batter out.<\/p>\n
With Tanzid Hasan finding the boundaries with ease, Bangladesh appeared to be the clear favourites until Sodhi sparked the collapse, doing most to reduce them to 92-5 from 60-1 in just eight overs.<\/p>\n
He started with the wicket of Tanzid (16) and then got the key scalp of Tamim Iqbal, who was out for 44 when trying to sweep against a googly.<\/p>\n
Sodhi also removed Soumya Sarkar, who played his first match in two years, for a duck and Towhid Hridoy for four.<\/p>\n
Mahmudullah and Mahedi Hasan resi\u00adsted, sharing a 42-run stand before Sodhi knocked out the latter for his maiden five-for. Offspinner Cole McCo\u00adnchie had Mahmu\u00addullah caught by Finn Allen at short fine leg after he made a team-best 49.<\/p>\n
Nasum Ahmed scored 21 but that only reduced the margin of the defeat as the teams head for the third and final ODI on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
