Preview:
Bangladesh and New Zealand will lock horns for the second T20I on Friday, September 3. The Tigers won the first game of the series by seven wickets as they outplayed New Zealand. Bangladesh wrapped up the Kiwis for just 60 in 16.5 overs.
The batting lineup of New Zealand collapsed as no batter was able to provide enough resistance. New Zealand bowlers, on the contrary, looked really good, but did not have enough runs to defend. The team will look to punch above their weights and shift the fortunes in their favour.
