NZ vs BAN 2nd T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
The series is on the line and Bangladesh needs to pull off a win in the 2nd game to stay alive in the series. But it will require a mammoth effort from them to get past an inform Kiwis. Can Bangladesh make a turnaround and surprise the hosts? Read our preview as New Zealand take on Bangladesh in the 2nd T20. The match is set to get underway at 7:00 PM local time.
New Zealand have been on a rampage and the kind of form they are in, Bangladesh will need a miracle to stop their juggernaut
Bangladesh haven’t won a T20I against New Zealand, In New Zealand as well, they have nil victories to show
New Zealand is a far superior team with top quality batting and bowling options. Bangladesh, on the other hand, are struggling with their batting. Also, Tamim, Shakib and Mushfiqur are not available.
The difference in skill set of the two teams is clearly visible. A tour that started with great expectations is coming to a tame end as Bangladesh has failed to win a single game. Apart from the second ODI, Bangladesh couldn’t even challenge the hosts, let along winning a game. They are 1-0 down in the T20I series and will need a win to keep their hopes alive.
However, looking at New Zealand’s form, it’s a mammoth ask. The batting has been a big let down in this series. Against a quality side, Bangladesh needed their senior players to step up. However, that hasn’t been the case as Soumya Sarkar, Liton Das, and Mahmudullah has been very disappointing. Also, with Tamim not available, the batting looks further doomed. The bowlers too have struggled but the failures of the batsmen have made matters worse.
There was a time when New Zealand lost 7 T20Is in a row in 2020 but things have turned around in a dramatic manner and New Zealand have wins over West Indies, Pakistan and Australia in their last three series’.
In this series, with their big guns rested, the hosts needed the young guns to step up and what a response they’ve got. Devon Conway, Will Young, Glenn Phillips, Daryl Mitchell, all have taken a full toll of the visitors bowling. For the second T20I, analyzing the form and quality of the teams, New Zealand will go in the match as massive favourites.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
Tim Southee picked up an injury in the last game but he should be for for the game. We also expect Adam Milne to make a cut in to the team
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway - Conway has been in red hot form ever since he’s burst on the international circuit. A century in the final ODI was backed by a blistering 92 off 52. Bangladesh have a massive task of halting his juggernaut.
- Martin Guptill - Guptill is getting starts but he’s not kicking off to get a big score. Nevertheless, he is some form and a big inning shouldn’t be too far away
- Daryl Mitchell- Coming down the order, he can strike the ball big. He also bowls crucial overs in a player. He’s a terrific find for New Zealand and will be eager to prove himself with consistent performances.

After demolishing the hosts in the ODI series, New Zealand carried on their juggernaut in the T20Is as well and thrashed Bangladesh by 66 runs in the 1st game

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Mushfiqur Rahim has a shoulder injury which should keep him out for the second T20I as well.
BAN Key Players
- Mahmudullah - Mahmudullah is the most experienced Bangladesh batsmen and has showed that he is good enough to handle this Kiwi bowling. He stroked a 76* in the final ODI and can be backed to step up in this crunch game
- Liton Das - Liton Das is one of the main stays of this Bangladesh squad. He is a clean striker of a cricket ball but his form hasn’t been that great. But still, if he gets going, Bangladesh will be in a position to challenge the hosts. He’d love to deliver in the coming game.
- Nasum Ahmed - He bowled well in the last game and only gave 30 runs in 4 overs and accounted for two wickets as well. He’d look to replicate his performance in the next game as well.

Bangladesh is having a nightmarish tour and have lost all their games. Things are not very promising for the next game either.
