Soumya Sarkar's 169 not enough as New Zealand beat Bangladesh by 7 wickets

Henry Nicholls made 95 and Will Young 89, trumping Soumya Sarkar's career-best 169 and leading New Zealand to a seven-wicket win over Bangladesh on Wednesday in the second One-Day International. New Zealand hold a winning 2-0 lead in the three-match series which ends Saturday in Napier. Nicholls returned to form but fell just short of his second ODI century while Young narrowly missed his second straight ODI century as New Zealand made 296-3 in reply to Bangladesh's 291. Young made 105 as New Zealand won the rain-affected first match of the series by 44 runs. Young put on 76 for the first wicket with Rachin Ravindra who made 45 from 33 balls after making a first-ball duck in the first match on Sunday. Young then added 128, effectively in a match-winning partnership, for the second wicket with Nicholls who also bounced back after a second-ball duck in the opening ODI. New Zealand were 204-2 in the 33rd over when Young was out, having made his 89 runs from 94 balls with eight fours
