Tigers eye series sin amid weather concerns

The hosts lead the series after a successful chase in the opening match.

Heavy rain on the eve of the game has raised concerns, and further showers are forecast for match day, which could affect the duration—or even the possibility—of play.

Both sides are expected to field unchanged XIs.

Bangladesh have been a consistent side in the format for more than a year. They recorded their highest number of wins in a calendar year in 2025, a sign of their growing strength in T20 internationals.

Another victory against New Zealand would further reinforce that progress.

As in the first match, and during the preceding ODI series, Bangladesh are likely to rely heavily on their pace attack, reports UNB.
