New Zealand cricket team to visit Bangladesh for five T20Is in August

Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) on Wednesday said that the New Zealand cricket team will visit Bangladesh later this month to play a five-match T20I series.

The Blackcaps will arrive in Dhaka on August 24, and the first match of the series will take place on September 1 while the other matches will be played on September 3, 5, 8 and 10, reports UNB citing BCB.

Like the ongoing home series against Australia, all the matches of the New Zealand series will take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.

England were also scheduled to tour Bangladesh for a three-match ODIs and T20Is in September-October. But the series has been rescheduled to March 2023.

Bangladesh are currently taking on Australia in the five-match T20 series. The hosts won the first match by 23 runs— which was Bangladesh’s maiden victory over the Aussies in T20Is.
