Another record yet for Rishad
Wednesday, 22 October 2025
Bangladesh leg-spinner Rishad Hossain continued to create records in the ODI format, reports BSS.
In Bangladesh's 74-run victory over West Indies in the first match, Rishad returned astonishing figures of 6-35, which was best bowling by a Bangladeshi spinner in ODI format and also was second best bowling by a Bangladeshi bowler behind Mashrafe Bin Mortaza's 6-26 against Kenya in 2006.
In the second ODI against the same team at the same venue on Tuesday, he smashed an unbeaten 39 runs, which helped Bangladesh propel past the 200-run mark.
His 39 not out was second best for Bangladesh in this match behind Soumya Sarkar's 45.
The 39 runs might not be a big deal for a tail-ender batter but Rishad's knock was invaluable in this aspect that it came off just 14 balls and he struck three fours and as many sixes.
His strike rate was 278.57 in this knock.
