New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 2nd T20 Match Prediction 30 Mar 2021

Bangladesh

The visitors definitely lack experience in the batting department as the likes of Shakib Al Hasan and Tamim Iqbal, who are missing the T20I series, due to various reasons.

To compound their problems, Mushfiqur Rahim suffered from an injury in the final ODI and sat on the sidelines for the T20I series opener. It will be interesting to whether Rahim gets fit in time for the remaining two matches of the T20I series.

In the batting department, the side will be relying on Captain Mahmudullah Riyad, wicket-keeper Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar to deliver the bulk of the runs.

In the previous game, Liton Das and Soumya Sarkar perished for low scores. The team management will be hoping that Das and Sarkar can come up with decent scores in this crucial game.

Surprisingly, batting all-rounder Afif Hossain was the lone warrior with the bat. He played well and finished the innings with the top-score of 45 runs off 33 balls with the help of five boundaries and one six. He was well supported by tail-ender Mohammad Saifuddin, who chipped in with 34 runs with the help of three fours and one six.

In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed and Mahedi Hasan to pick up wickets in this game.

Bangladesh Actual Playing XI:

Mohammad Naim, Mohammad Mithun, Shoriful Islam, Mahmudullah, Liton Das, Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Taskin Ahmed, Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain
