Bangladeshi opener Soumya Sarkar played a historic innings against Kiwis in Nelson. The opener delivered a record-breaking performance, but New Zealand emerged victorious in the second ODI.<\/p>\n
Despite facing a lean period in ODIs for the past two years and being excluded from Bangladesh\u2019s ICC Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2023 squad, the southpaw unleashed a phenomenal knock of 169 runs off 151 balls. His innings featured a breathtaking 22 fours and two sixes.<\/p>\n
Sarkar\u2019s extraordinary effort not only stands as the highest score by a Bangladesh men\u2019s player in an ODI away from home but also claims the title of the highest individual score in ODIs by a subcontinent player in New Zealand. Surpassing Sachin Tendulkar\u2019s 163* against the Kiwis in Christchurch in 2009, Sarkar\u2019s innings etched a new chapter in subcontinental cricket history on New Zealand soil. The team\u2019s total of 291 also marks Bangladesh\u2019s highest ODI score in New Zealand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
