Bangladesh, who are 2-0 up in the series, will have their tails up when they lock horns with New Zealand in the third tie of the series on Sunday at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. The hosts will look to continue their winning and seal the series with two matches still to play.
New Zealand produced a better show with the bat with skipper Tom Latham utilising the opportunities to the best way possible. Among the bowlers, the spin trio of Rachin Ravindra, Ajaz Patel, and Cole McConchie has shared eight wickets and will be key as they look to bounce back in the series.
