Dependable batsman cum wicket keeper Mushfiqur Rahim suffered a strain in his left hamstring during the first ODI between Bangladesh and New Zealand match held on Monday at Hagley Oval, Christchurch.
When Mushfiq attempted to take a risky single in the 38th over, he had to put in the dive but fell awkwardly trying to clutch his leg. He was feeling uncomfortable on the crease and pointing to the dressing room with bat for medical attention. The Test skipper Mushfiq then hobbled off the field before he added 42 runs to his name.
Bangladesh suffered by 77 runs defeat chasing New Zealand’s 341 runs in the first ODI of the three-match series. The second ODI will be played on December 29 at Nelson.
