Persistent rain ruled out any play on day one of the second Test between New Zealand and Bangladesh in Wellington on Friday.
Further showers were forecast for Saturday morning, with the weather expected to improve later in the day.
New Zealand are sitting on a 1-0 lead in the series, having blown Bangladesh away by an innings and 52 runs in Hamilton.
The visitors had some good performances with the bat, but their rookie pace attack was outclassed by New Zealand's experienced trio of Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Neil Wagner, reports ESPNcricinfo.
Bangladesh lost their last Test in Wellington two years ago despite posting a first-innings total of 595, with Shakib Al Hasan scoring 217 and Mushfiqur Rahim 159.
