Match Fact

Match Preview

Bangladesh enter the series with significant confidence following an impressive 2–1 ODI series victory against Pakistan last month. Under the leadership of their newly appointed captain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, the hosts have named a settled squad that successfully blends youth and experience.

The home side will be further bolstered by the availability of fast bowlers Mustafizur Rahman and Nahid Rana, who have returned from their franchise cricket duties to join the national setup. Where to Watch India Women vs South Africa Women T20I 2026 Live Streaming Online and TV Channel Telecast.

Conversely, New Zealand arrive in Dhaka with a much younger squad. With several key senior players unavailable due to commitments in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and Pakistan Super League (PSL), stand-in captain Tom Latham will lead a side featuring emerging talents such as Adithya Ashok and Muhammad Abbas.

Despite these absences, the Black Caps remain a formidable unit, currently ranked second in the ICC ODI team standings following their 2–1 series victory over India in January.
