Toss Update: Nick Kelly, New Zealand skipper, won the toss and decided to bowl first. He talked about how, with rain around the corner, the decision to chase could be better as they aim to square the T20I series after losing the ODI series.
Bangladesh and New Zealand meet in the third and final T20I of the three-match series. The hosts won the first game before the second match was abandoned due to rain without a single ball being bowled. Today, as these two nations meet again, the Blackcaps will aim for a win to square the series. It has been an underwhelming tour for the visitors who earlier lost a three-match ODI series 2-1, even after taking the lead.
The Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium has always benefitted teams batting second, despite the difficulty of scoring early in the innings. Because the surface is frequently slower, the ball does not strike the bat quickly. Bowlers are very important to their team’s success, particularly those who can maintain disciplined lines and lengths.

The revised playing conditions are in as the game has now been reduced to 17 overs per side clash and will being at 4 PM (IST). Meanwhile, Bangladesh have scored 50 runs for the loss of three wickets in 6.4 overs.
Great news for the fans, the play is set to resume in a few minutes after the latest inspection from the two umpires. The groundsmen till then are working on a patch near the boundary ropes around the practice pitches area.
There is a big puddle near the boundary ropes, which is proving to be a cause of concern currently. Meanwhile, with the sun being out, the umpires went to the ground and even had a discussion with the curator.
Our latest T20i BLACKCAP – with a wicket on his very first ball too 😮💨
