 Info: 

• Glenn Philips and Daryl Mitchell starred with the bat for the Black Caps in the second T20i. The pair shared an unbeaten partnership of 62 runs from 25 balls before being interrupted by the rain with 13 balls to go. Devon Conway, who has been a revelation for New Zealand this summer, made only 15 in Tuesday’s game but still averages 85 against Bangladesh in all forms this season.
• The New Zealand bowling attack was divided between tight bowling from skipper Tim Southee and Glenn Philips with economy rates under 6.67 versus the 10.33 and above rates of Hamish Bennett, Adam Milne and Ish Sodhi.
• For Bangladesh, Shoriful Islam and Taskin Ahmed bowled with accuracy and control whilst Saifuddin, Islam and Mahedi Hasan were taken to the cleaners by the Black Caps batsmen. Soumya Sarkar briefly threatened to chase down the target by himself, smashing eight boundaries in his 27-ball 51.

 TV Channels: 

The match can be watched live on Free BT sports in UK, Spark Sport in New Zealand and Gazi TV in Bangladesh.

 Toss Predictions: 

Each side has won a toss apiece so far in this series with New Zealand batting first on each occasion. If Mahmudullah calls correctly he may be tempted to see whether asking the Black Caps to chase will result in a stronger performance from his team.

 Weather & Pitch Report: 

⛅ Weather:

High of 19 degrees earlier in the day with thunderstorms currently forecast during the game.

🏟️ Pitch:

The most recent T20I at Eden Park in December saw New Zealand post 156-5 (18.5) in reply to Pakistan’s 153-9. We expect to see a pitch conducive to similar scores this time around.

 Team NEWS: 

 NZ Team News: 

The Black Caps made a solitary change ahead of the second T20I, replacing Lockie Ferguson with Adam Milne who picked up 2-34 on his international return. Todd Astle is the only player in the New Zealand squad yet to play in the series.

 BAN Team News: 

It’s been a miserable tour for the Bangladesh players who may be hoping that the thunderstorms prevail on Thursday evening. Taskin Ahmed returned to the side on Tuesday in place of Mustafizur Rahman, he impressed and should keep his place for this final game.

 Small League Preview Team 

 ℹ️ Grand League Team Added at the bottom of this post. 

 NZ Key Players:

 Martin Guptill:

As well as getting the team off to a flying start, Guptill has a crucial role to play as the experienced opener alongside rookie Finn Allen. With the bat, Guptill has shown his worth with quick-fire hits of 21 and 35 so far. 

 Devon Conway:
In spite of being uncapped at international level before this New Zealand summer, Conway has taken to cricket at this level in a manner reminiscent of his fellow-countryman Kyle Jamieson in Tests. The Bangladesh bowlers will be pleased to know this will be the final time they will be bowling to him in the series.

 Tim Southee:
New Zealand’s captain provides knowledge, skills and experience with the ball. Bangladesh had no answer to his variations in the second T20I which prevented them from getting after his bowling. No mug with the bat, Southee hasn’t been called upon to show off his six hitting as yet.

 BAN Key Players: 

 Mahmudullah: 

Bangladesh captain in T20Is needs to stay around at the crease for longer in the final game. In both of the matches so far he has scored at an impressive strike rate (122.22 and 175) but has only produced 32 runs in total. 

 Mohammad Naim:
Opening the innings with Liton Das, Naim has impressed in both T20Is so far with scores of 27 and 38. At only 21 years of age and with an average of 35.50 from eight T20Is, he looks like he will be around for many years to come.

 Soumya Sarkar:
The all-rounder impressed with his batting in Napier where he struck his joint second highest score in this format. He cleared the boundary on three occasions and Bangladesh will need more of the same if they are to be competitive in Auckland.

 Team Forms: 

 NZ Team Form: 

New Zealand continue to beat all comers across formats at home. This home summer alone, they have won seven series out of seven.

 BAN Team Form: 

The Tigers have lost six of their last eight games in this format with both wins coming against Zimbabwe in early 2020. In New Zealand, they have only ever experienced defeats and it will take a monumental shift to change this.

 SQUAD: 

 NEW ZEALAND: 

Martin Guptill, Devon Conway(w), Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tim Southee(c), Ish Sodhi, Todd Astle, Lockie Ferguson, Adam Milne, Hamish Bennett.

 BANGLADESH: 

Liton Das, Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim(w), Mahmudullah(c), Mohammad Mithun, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed, Mosaddek Hossain, Mehidy Hasan, Rubel Hossain, Al-Amin Hossain, Nasum Ahmed, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam.
