Rain may hamper Bangladesh`s opening game against NZ

The opening clash between Bangladesh and New Zealand might turn out to be a flop due to the weather conditions in Mirpur, Dhaka.

According to the local Met department, there is a 70 percent chance of rainfall.

As no one has control over nature. The authority is doing their tasks considering everything. That’s why Bangladesh could not select the final squad till last night.

Bangladesh’s recent victory against India in the event might serve as a morale booster for the upcoming series. Meanwhile, New Zealand will enter the field after facing a loss in their previous ODI series against England.

Squads:
New Zealand Squad: Finn Allen, Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Chad Bowes, Tom Blundell(w), Rachin Ravindra, Dean Foxcroft, Lockie Ferguson(c), Adam Milne, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi, Kyle Jamieson, Cole McConchie, Dane Cleaver, Blair Tickner.

Bangladesh Squad: Tamim Iqbal, Litton Das(c), Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque(w), Towhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Mahedi Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Rishad Hossain, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Zakir Hasan, Khaled Ahmed, Tanzid Hasan, Nurul Hasan.
