Bangladesh lost by 86 runs in the second ODI against New Zealand. The loss ended the Tigers' dream of winning the series.

New Zealand put up a fighting collection of 254 runs by batting first in the match. A very interesting incident happened in the innings of the Kiwis. While bowling the fourth ball of the 46th over, Bangladesh pacer Hasan Mahmud did Mankad the non-strike batter Ish Sodhi. Later on the TV replay, it was seen that Sodhi was out. But team captain Litton Das set a unique example of sportsmanship and brought Sodhi back into bat. Sodhi added some important runs towards the end, playing a brilliant innings of 35 runs off 39 balls. Later he came down to the bowling and destroyed Bangladesh with 6 wickets.

After the match, Sodhi said he was a bit surprised to be called back but was impressed by Bangladesh's gesture. "We are competitive people. You are competing to win games for your country so it can get a bit heated. I think I was out by such a small fraction, it caught me off guard. I come from a bit of an old cloth when you give the batter a warning. I understand it is not the rules at the moment. I think it was a great gesture by Bangladesh. They handled it really, really well. I was fortunate that they were able to call me back. I'd like to think I'd do the same thing if I was the bowler," Sodhi said at the post-match press conference.

"I am not a very good batter. It was a nice gesture. I would do the same thing as a bowler. I have played under some great captains for New Zealand in the past few years. I think they would have done the same thing. I think Litton Das was exceptional in the way he handled it. I hugged the bowler and gave Litton a bit of a handshake. We all respect the game of cricket very highly and really endevour to keep the spirit intact," he added.

"I understand that it is part of the rules of the game now. You've seen it all over the world. It is a bit of a controversial issue. They could have easily let me walk off. They showed huge sportsmanship out there today. We are fortunate to be in the winning side but it is important to keep the spirit of the game alive, especially when we are playing such competitive cricket to win games for our country," Sodhi further said.
