Preview
Just 11 overs of the second Twenty20 International were bowled before rain called the match off. At that point, New Zealand was 72-2, with Tim Seifert’s opening attack of 43 from 23 balls the innings high point.
The squad will be counting on Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips to hold down the middle order, as Seifert appears to be in excellent form. Mitchell will be keen to end the year on a positive note after having such a great few months.
Earlier this month, during New Zealand’s Test trip to Bangladesh, Phillips, a hard-hitting batsman, dominated the Bangladeshi bowlers. We anticipate a severe blow from him.
You may rely on Tim Southee (11 wickets at an economy of 7.92 from the previous 8 matches) and Mitchell Santner (10 wickets at 6.93 from the last 8 matches) as your bowling options.
Full Squad:
Mitchell Santner (c), Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Adam Milne, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Ben Sears, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee

Preview
In the second T20I, Bangladesh performed admirably to retaliate against Tim Seifert’s attack. Unfortunately, it was not possible to finish the game. Even though they lost the first two ODIs, the visitors will still be pleased with their performance over the past few days here.
After that victory, Bangladesh seems more assured and could test the host team once again.
In the inaugural Twenty20 International, Litton Das top-scored for them with a brisk, undefeated 42 off 36 balls. It is anticipated that the first game would give the club a strong start once more.
Soumya Sarkar is a worthy recipient of support. He just crushed his career-high ODI score against the Kiwis, so he’s going to be full of confidence.
Although Najmul Hossain Shanto, the skipper, has had a quiet tour, this could be the game in which he makes an impact.
Bangladesh has a lot of alternatives when it comes to bowling. The best of the bunch has been Shoriful Islam, who has taken four wickets at an average of 10.50 in two innings. Mustafizur Rahman and Mahedi Hasan have both claimed two wickets despite being incredibly frugal.
Full Squad:
Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz (vc), Liton Das (wk), Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Afif Hossain, Rishad Hossain, Shamim Hossain, Towhid Hridoy, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Rony Talukdar

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction:
The side that batted first has won all eight of the T20 matches that have been played at Bay Oval. On the day of the game, rain is predicted, which could entice the team that won the toss to bowl first.
New Zealand vs Bangladesh Pitch Report:
At Bay Oval, the pitch is usually ideal for batting, so expect another high-scoring contest. As the game goes on, the pitch does have a tendency to slow down a little bit, which gives the spinners more opportunities. Seam bowlers must to receive regular assistance as well.
On the day of the match, Mount Maunganu is likely to see cloudy skies, sporadic rain, and a thunderstorm in the afternoon.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Match Report:
Though they haven’t played Bangladesh in Twenty20 Internationals, New Zealand has a strong record against them. In the first Twenty20 International, Bangladesh defeated them, and they also mounted a comeback in the second match. They appear to be up for a close battle, and they won’t go down easily in this style. The Tigers’ batting is the only area where they could falter. With the hitters to take full advantage of this batting gem of a pitch, we believe New Zealand will have the advantage and will be eager for victory.
New Zealand is the clear favorite at the odds of 1.30
