Team News
New Zealand are likely to play the 3rd T20 without any major changes in the squad. Luke Ronchi suffered a groin injury while playing the 2nd T20, so his return in the 3rd match is doubtful.
Key Players
Kane Williamson, Colin de Grandhomme, Colin Munro, and Tom Bruce have batted well in the first 2 matches of the T20 series and will hopefully score well in this match as well. The bowlers are in good from and have been performing well in the series. Ben Wheeler, Lockie Ferguson, Ish Sodhi, and Kane Williamson have taken a lot of major wickets and the team will be expecting them to continue their form.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Team News
No big changes are expected in the team for the 3rd T20, and none of the players have been injured recently.
Key Players
The Bangladeshi batting side has been playing weak, so a huge score should not be expected. Mahmudullah, Mosaddek Hossain, and Sabbir Rahman have scored decent innings in the 2 matches but will have to try really hard to score against New Zealand bowlers. In the bowling side, Shakib Al Hasan, Rubel Hossain, and Mosaddek Hossain have taken some important wickets for the team, and will be good for the team if they’re able to push their performance to win at least one match.
Recent Form
Bangladesh have already lost the 3-match T20 series by losing the first 2 matches. The team has been struggling since the ODI series started and they lost, and really need to build up some momentum to take forward in the test series.
Bangladesh Predicted XI
-
Tamim Iqbal, Mosaddek Hossain, Rubel Hossain, Imrul Kayes, Sabbir Rahman, Shakib Al Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Nurul Hasan (wk), Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mustafizur Rahman.
