Watch: During the second Test match, at the Shere Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Shahadat Hossain took a brilliant catch at bat-pad to dismiss Kane Williamson.
Bangladesh, leading 1-0 in the two-match series, won the toss and was elected to bat first and were bowled out for 172 on the opening day of the second Test. Mainly because of his 57 runs for his fifth wicket. Partnership between Mushfiqur Rahim (35) and Shahadat Hossain (31).
New Zealand spinners Glenn Phillips (3-31), Mitchell Santner (3-65) and Ajaz Patel (2-54) shared eight wickets between them.
Bangladesh spinners Mehdi Hasan Miraz and Taijul Islam took the lead with pacer Shoriful Islam’s over and continued to run for the rest of the day. In New Zealand’s opener, he added 20 points before failing within six balls.
Kane Williamson scored 13 when Mehidi bowled the ball outside the off-stump. The ball probably bounced farther than Williamson expected. He tried to keep it low and almost succeeded.
When the ball sank, so did Shahadat as a short-leg striker. It wasn’t easy because he was already in the left half. He still held out his right hand, but the ball did not move.
Two balls later, Mehdi also beat Tom Blundell. At the Stamps, New Zealand went 55-5 with Darryl Mitchell scoring 12 points and Phillips scoring five. At the end of the game, Mehdi had 3 wins and 17 losses against him, and Taijul had 2 wins and 29 losses against him.
