The series against the Black Caps got off to a slow start for the fast bowler, who took one wicket for 65 runs in the opening match.
However, he responded with a career-best performance in the second ODI. Rana demolished New Zealand’s top order with two early strikes in the powerplay, before the middle order staged a comeback and finished with figures of 5/32.
Due to his efforts the visiting team was reduced to 198 runs.
