"Worst way to get out": Mohammad Mithun run out in unfortunate manner by Jimmy Neesham in Dunedin ODI

Mohammad Mithun run out: The Bangladeshi batsman was unfortunate enough to add to the visitors’ woes at the University Oval.

During the first ODI of the ongoing Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand in Dunedin, Bangladesh batsman Mohammed Mithun’s dismissal added to the visitors’ woes as it left them reeling at 72/5 in the 24th over.

It all happened after Bangladesh all-rounder Mahmudullah nailed a straight drive off New Zealand all-rounder James Neesham. Less did anyone know that a straight drive would result in an unfortunate dismissal.

Aiming to stop the ball in his follow-through, Neesham ended up touching it with his hand as it went on to hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end. Mithun, who was comfortably outside the crease, whilst backing up had to walk back to the pavilion after scoring 9 (27).

Apart from this dismissal, Neesham also played pivotal roles in sending back Bangladesh opening batsman Liton Das (19) and wicket-keeper batsman Mushfiqur Rahim (23) as the Bangladeshi batsmen failed to show resistance at the University Oval.

Playing his 100th ODI and 11th as captain, it was New Zealand’s Tom Latham who had invited Bangladesh in to bat after winning the toss this morning. While the hosts have handed debuts to Daryl Mitchell, Devon Conway and Will Young, Bangladesh spinner Mahedi Hasan is also playing his first ODI.
