Preview:
Bangladesh will be taking on New Zealand in the third T20I as they eye the T20I series win in Dhaka. The Bangladesh side has been clinical in recent times in the shortest format and would be looking to cap off this series with another win, against a slightly inexperienced Blackcaps team.
The visiting team has struggled to adjust to the slowness of the surface in Dhaka, while Bangladesh has managed to beat them twice. The first match was pretty one-sided with New Zealand getting bowled out for 60 while the second game went down to the wire, with Bangladesh winning by just four runs.
