New Zealand opt to bowl vs Bangladesh
Left-arm spinner Jayden Lennox, who was impressive in the ODI series, is making his T20I debut for New Zealand, and he comes in place of Matt Fisher. Fast bowler Ben Sears takes Ben Lister’s place in the XI.
Bangladesh have brought in Mohammad Saifuddin in place of Tanzim Hasan, who, captain Litton Das said at the toss, has a “back issue”.
The previous match between the two sides was abandoned without a ball being bowled, while hosts Bangladesh won the first game by six wickets, both in Chattogram.
