Bangladesh lead 1-0 in three-match T20I sequence vs New Zealand.© AFP
Heavy rain pressured the second of three Twenty20 internationals between hosts New Zealand and Bangladesh to be known as off Friday, with the house staff on 72-2 after 11 overs. Bangladesh lead the sequence 1-0 after their bowlers ran riot within the opening match final Wednesday, paving the best way to a five-wicket victory in Napier. It was the guests’ first T20 win over the Black Caps in New Zealand. Having put the Black Caps into bat beneath overcast skies at Mount Maunganui on Friday, Bangladesh struck early when opener Finn Allen was caught within the second over with New Zealand on 9 for one.
Tim Seifert smashed 43 off 23 balls earlier than being caught to finish his second-wicket partnership of 49 with Daryl Mitchell earlier than rain began to fall.
Bangladesh might seal their first sequence win in New Zealand in any format on Sunday when the third and ultimate T20 can be held at Mount Maunganui.
