Pace sensation Nahid Rana took 5-32 to lead Bangladesh to a comfortable six-wicket win over New Zealand in the second one-day international and level the three-match series at 1-1 on Monday.
Rana registered his second five-wicket ODI haul as Bangladesh bundled out New Zealand for 198, a total it overhauled with 14.3 overs to spare in Dhaka.
Opener Tanzid Hasan Tamim, who top-scored with 76, and Najmul Hossain Shanto, retired hurt on 50, steered the host to 199-4 in 35.3 overs, setting up a series decider on Thursday in Chattogram.
Bangladesh suffered early blows with opener Saif Hassan and Soumya Sarkar out for eight apiece, but Tanzid hit back with an aggressive counter-attack that hauled the host to 67 in 10 overs.
Tanzid found an able ally in Shanto, and the left-handed pair put on 120 runs for the third-wicket stand to put the chase firmly in Bangladesh’s control.
Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox briefly threatened to spark a collapse, dismissing Tanzid and Litton Das in quick succession – both falling while attempting to clear the boundary.

Tanzid struck 10 fours and four sixes in his 58-ball knock. Litton made seven. Shanto kept his calm as he raised his fifty off 71 balls, but was forced to retire due to severe cramp.
Towhid Hridoy, unbeaten on 30, and skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz, not out on eight, saw Bangladesh home without further trouble.
Earlier, the 23-year-old Rana set up the win during New Zealand’s innings after he operated across four separate spells and struck in the first over of each new burst.
Left-arm quick Shoriful Islam provided strong support, returning 2-32 from his 10 overs, including the wicket of Nick Kelly (83).
Fast bowlers Soumya and Taskin Ahmed took one wicket each, as did leg-spinner Rishad Hossain.
New Zealand’s innings was held together almost single-handedly by opener Kelly, who made 83 for his maiden ODI half-century.
No other visiting batter reached 20, with Muhammad Abbas the next highest scorer, on 19.
Shoriful set the platform early, delivering an incisive opening spell of six overs for just 17 runs, generating 29 dot balls to put the tourists on the back foot.
Rana tightened the stranglehold, collecting two wickets in his opening five-over spell.

#BAN #Zealand #beats #Bangladesh #runs #ODI">BAN vs NZ: New Zealand beats Bangladesh by 26 runs in first ODI
New Zealand’s fast bowlers overcame scorching heat to produce a clinical performance, guiding the side to a 26-run victory against Bangladesh in the opening game of the three-match ODI series on Friday.
The pace trio of Blair Tickner, Nathan Smith and Will O’Rourke shared eight wickets to play a crucial role in bowling out Bangladesh for 221 in 48.3 overs.
Electing to bat first, New Zealand posted a challenging 247-8 on a slow wicket, riding a patient 68 from opener Henry Nicholls and a brisk 59 from Dean Foxcfort.
After the early departure of Nick Kelly, Nicholls added 73 runs with Will Young (30) to steady the innings, defying a superb spell by pacer Shoriful Islam.
Shoriful, who was playing his first ODI since December 2024 after replacing the injured Mustafizur Rahman, claimed 2-27 in 10 overs.

New Zealand’s three-pronged pace attack then unsettled the Bangladesh batters.
Tickner ended with 4-40, claiming all four wickets in his last four overs. Smith produced the initial blow, dismissing Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Najmul Hossain Shanto in consecutive deliveries before wrapping up the Bangladesh innings with the wicket of Towhid Hridoy to finish on 3-45.
After a shaky start that saw it slump to 21-2, Bangladesh regrouped through Saif Hasan and Liton Das, whose 93 runs kept the side firmly on course.
But O’Rourke broke through with the wicket of Saif, who made a team-best 57 after surviving on 1. Foxfort got rid of Liton for 46, but Hridoy and Afif resisted. They combined for a 52-run partnership for the fifth wicket to help the side claw back into the contest.
Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox sent back Afif for 27 to break the partnership, leaving Hridoy to dig deep. Tickner, who was bit erratic in his first spell, came back strongly to clean up the tail.
