Bangladesh have won the toss and elected to bowl first in the second T20I against New Zealand in Mount Maunganui on Friday (December 29).

Bangladesh have made a forced change to their side as Litton Das is ruled out of the match due to a knee injury. Shamim Hossain replaces him in the squad. On the other hand, New Zealand have named an unchanged squad for the match.

Bangladesh have been in good form lately as they won the first T20I match by 5 wickets. So, they are hungry for the series win while New Zealand will look to bounce back to level the series.

New Zealand: Tim Seifert, Finn Allen, Daryl Mitchell, Glenn Philips, James Neesham, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears.
