BAN vs NZ- Prediction, Today’s Winner, Most Runs, Most Wickets: 2nd T20I, New Zealand tour of Bangladesh 2021. The way a second-string New Zealand team lost the first T20 international against Bangladesh on Wednesday, it doesn’t look like they can make a comeback in the series. New Zealand were bundled for just 60 runs in the first of the five-match T20 International series against Bangladesh on Wednesday.
On a difficult pitch to bat on, young New Zealand batters found it extremely hard to counter the spin and uneven bounce of the surface. The top four comprising of Tom Blundell (2), Rachin Ravindra (0), Will Young (5), and Colin de Grandhomme (1) went back to the pavilion inside fours over.
At 9 for 4, Henry Nicholls joined hands with Tom Latham and led some sort of recovery. The duo added 34 runs for the fifth wicket before Saifuddin broke the partnership in the 11th over. He took the wicket of Latham (18 off 25) before sending back Henry Nicholls (18 off 24) in his next over to leave New Zealand in complete disarray. Muztafizur then ran through New Zealand tailenders to bundle them out for just 60 runs.
New Zealand sensed a little hope in the second innings after sending both the Bangladesh openers inside three overs. New Zealand, however, didn’t find much success after that as Shakib Al-Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim got the team back on track. The duo added 30 runs for the third wicket and took the total to 37 before Shakib got out off Rachin Ravindra in the 10th over.
Bangladesh needed 24 more runs and they chased it down with no further loss. Mushfiqur Rahim played a sensible knock of 16 runs off 26 balls, while skipper Mahmudullah scored 14 off 22 balls.
The second T20 international will be played on 3rd September 2021 at Shere Bangla Stadium. Ahead of the important game, here’s a look at some key stats which matter:
