Last Updated: 09.05 PM, Dec 26, 2023
Following the ODI tour, attention now turns to the T20Is as Bangladesh and New Zealand prepare for a three-match series. With a 2-1 victory in the ODI series, the hosts will enter the upcoming contests with high confidence.
Although Bangladesh secured their first-ever 50-over win in New Zealand during the third ODI, the series ultimately belonged to the hosts, who clinched the first two ODIs to seal the victory.
Mitchell Santner will lead the Kiwis in the T20Is, but they will miss several senior players. In consideration of fitness concerns and New Zealand's upcoming cricketing schedule, Rachin Ravindra and Jacob Duffy have been brought in, replacing Kane Williamson and Kyle Jamieson.
Under the leadership of Najmul Hossain Shanto, Bangladesh aims to triumph in the T20I leg of the tour. Soumya Sarkar and Shoriful Islam, currently in good form, aspire to replicate their success in the T20Is.
