New Zealand choose to bat first against Bangladesh in 2nd ODI

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first against Bangladesh in the second match of three-match ODI series at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.

Bangladesh made two changes as they brought in pacers Khaled Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud for wicketkeeper Nurul Hasan Sohan and Tanzim Hasan Sakib, while New Zealand went in with the same eleven.

The first match on Thursday was washed out due to heavy rain. Therefore, both the teams will try to take an early lead in the series by winning the match.
