New Zealand are set to take on Bangladesh in a three-match T20I series from April 27. This follows the ODI series in which the hosts beat the visitors 2-1. One of the star performers of the final ODI was Najmul Hossain Shanto, who scored 105 runs off 119 balls. Litton Das also helped steady Bangladesh's innings with a steely innings of 76 runs. While chasing 266, New Zealand were bundled out for 210 under 45 overs. Mustafizur Rahman picked up a five-wicket haul while Nahid Rana and Mehidy Hasan Miraz picked up two wickets each. It remains to be seen how New Zealand bounce back following their defeat in the ODI series.
A statement released from New Zealand Cricket said that Muhammad Abbas will remain with the team for the start of the T20I series as Kristian Clarke sustained a hand injury during New Zealand A tour of Sri Lanka, subsequently ruling him out of both the series. Ben Sears will join the BLACKCAPS following the first T20I after he completes his obligations in the Pakistan Super League. Blair Tickner will also remain with the squad after being rested in the third ODI as a precaution from a sore ankle, the statement said.
