New Zealand and Bangladesh will complete the multi-format series that started in the subcontinent at the former's home grounds with the two teams set to face each other in three T20Is and as many ODIs after the Test matches a week ago. The series begins in Dunedin with the matches set to be played in Nelson, Napier and Mount Maunganui. New Zealand have announced a young squad led by Tom Latham as they look to test their bench strength while Bangladesh will have a chance to get their white-ball cricket in shape after a disappointing World Cup 2023.
The likes of Kane Williamson, Tim Southee, Devon Conway and Mitchell Santner are rested for the ODIs and hence it will allow the likes of Finn Allen, Will Young, Adam Milne and Jacob Duffy to prove their worth. Bangladesh, on the other hand, have announced a squad with a mix of youth and experience and will hope to leave the Kiwi shores with some wins under their belt.
