Rain Dampens Second T20 as New Zealand and Bangladesh Face Cancellation
The second T20 match at Mt Maunganui faced a constant threat of rain, and despite a dry start, heavy rainfall interrupted the game in the 11th over, leading to its eventual cancellation. Umpires called off the match as the rain persisted.
New Zealand had reached 72 for 2 after 11 overs before the rain-induced halt, with Glenn Phillips unbeaten on 9 runs and Daryl Mitchell contributing 18 runs. Bangladesh's Shariful Islam and Tanjim Hasan Shakib each claimed a wicket.
Opting to field after winning the toss, Bangladesh had initially made a promising start similar to the first T20. Despite early wickets courtesy of Shariful and Mustafizur Rahman, the bowlers couldn't maintain pressure on the New Zealand batsmen. The hosts gradually took control of the match, with Mitchell and Tim Seifert forming a pivotal 49-run partnership for the second wicket in just 36 balls.
While Mitchell played cautiously at the start, Seifert aggressively attacked the Bangladeshi bowlers, scoring 43 runs in 23 balls with 1 six and 6 fours. Tanjim Hasan Shakib's intervention halted Seifert before reaching fifty, momentarily shifting the momentum in favor of Bangladesh.
