Soumya Sarkar hit his career-best ODI score of 169 off just 151 deliveries to help Bangladesh post 291 all out in 49.5 overs, the highest ODI total for the Tigers against New Zealand in their backyard in their second of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand at Saxton Oval today (Dec 20).

Soumya also reached a significant milestone along the way as his 169 is now the highest individual score by an Asian player in New Zealand.
Soumya surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's previous best of 163 not out against New Zealand in 2009.
