DHAKA: The visiting Bangladesh are chasing New Zealand-set 195-run target at the Bay Oval against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on Sunday.

After 10-over, they scored 89 runs for two. Tamim and Soumya Sarkar returned to pavilion after taking 24 and 42 runs respectively.  

Earlier Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Bin Mortaza won the toss and decided to bowl. 

Kane Williamson’s 60 and Corey Anderson’s not out 94 helped the host score a responsible 194.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh have made one change with Taskin Ahmed coming in place of Mustafizur Rahman. There is no alternative to win this game to avoid whitewash in the T20 International series.

Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, Mashrafe Mortaza (Captain), Nurul Hasan (Wicketkeeper), Rubel Hossain and Taskin Ahmed
