NZ vs BAN: Jimmy Neesham runs out to Tamim Iqbal with some fancy footwork. The clock

New Zealand cricketer Jimmy Neesham outplayed Bangladesh batsman Tamim Iqbal on Tuesday, showing his fans skills during the New Zealand vs Bangladesh second ODI at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The New Zealand all-rounder threw back the ball to Mushfiqur Rahim, who dropped it to the crease near him and spoke single. Tamim responded but did not take Neesham’s footballing skills into consideration. The New Josander ran towards the striker’s end and flicked the ball well at the crease with Tamim on the stumps with his left foot.

The Black Caps Twitter handle shared a GIF of Neesham’s stunning run out.

Neesham, who dismissed Tamim, proved to be crucial for New Zealand. The Bangladesh opener was going strong and Neesham’s talent sent him to 78 runs.

Tamim and Soumya Sarkar shared a 81-run partnership for the second wicket to give Bangladesh the victory but Mitchell Sentner was later reduced to 32 runs. Mushfiqur Rahim joined his captain at the crease and together they bundled the visiting team for 133 runs. .
