Sports Desk: It rained a little before the toss. The pitch could be an advantage for the bowlers, as Bangladesh have decided to bowl first after winning the toss in the second T20 of the series.

There is a change in the XI of Bangladesh in this match with the XI of the previous match. Mostafizur Rahman has been left out. Taskin Ahmed has been included in the XI in his place. Today the game is being played in Napier.

It was already understood that Mostafiz will not be taken in the fight to defend the series. Mostafiz has taken only 3 wickets in three ODIs and one T20I. Gave a lot of runs. Didn’t get swing or sim movement. Cutting in New Zealand conditions is also not very effective. Bangladesh has also suffered from lackluster Mustafiz. The result, this left-arm pacer excluded today.

Bangladesh XI: Liton Das, Mohammad Naeem, Soumya Sarkar, Mohammad Mithun, Mahmud Ullah, Afif Hossain, Mohammad Saif Uddin, Mehedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Shariful Islam, Taskin Ahmed

New Zealand XI: Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Daryl Mitchell, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Hamish Bennett, Adam Milne

After losing the first match by 66 runs, Bangladesh’s goal is to win the match and bring equality in the series. And if this match is won, Bangladesh will also get the first win on New Zealand soil by combining all the versions.
