He lost count of the number of deliveries bowled in the over. Spinner Mahedi Hasan ended up bowling seven balls instead of the usual six-ball quota.
It meant that the spinner was made to bowl an extra delivery in the ninth over of his spell.
However, it did not make a difference as New Zealand’s Lockie Ferguson did not score runs off it.
New Zealand won the second ODI by 86 runs and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match bilateral series. They will clash in the third and final game on Tuesday.
