MIRPUR, Bangladesh (AP) — New Zealand captain Lockie Ferguson won the toss and decided to bat first in the second one-day cricket international against Bangladesh on Saturday.
The visitors fielded an unchanged side from the first game which was washed out due to heavy rain. Bangladesh bowlers dominated that game, reducing New Zealand to 136-5 in 33.4 overs.
Bangladesh made two changes. Pace bowler Syed Khaled Ahmed made his debut and Hasan Mahmud returned to the side after playing his last game against Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup.
They replaced wicketkeeper batter Nurul Hasan and pacer Tanzim Hasan.
