New Zealand and Bangladesh are scheduled to lock horns in the second game of the three-match Women's T20I series on Sunday, December 4 at the University Oval in Dunedin.

Bangladesh, captained by Nigar Sultana Joty, made a horrendous start to the series. On Friday, they lost to the White Ferns by 132 runs at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. The match was a completely one-sided affair.

After opting to bat first, the hosts racked up a decent score of 164 for the loss of three wickets on the board. Sophie Devine and Suzie Bates put on 84 runs for the opening wicket off 10.4 overs to lay the platform.

Thereafter, Amelia Kerr and Maddy Green scored 27 and 36 respectively, helping New Zealand get to a big score. Jahanara Alam, Nahida Akter and Ritu Moni picked up one wicket apiece for the visiting team.

Thereafter, Bangladesh fell flat on their fate in their run-chase. The visiting team was bowled out for 32 in 14.5 overs. None of their batters managed to get into double digits. Ritu Moni's 6 was the top score for the Tigresses. Fargana Hoque Pinky hit the only four in the innings.

Fast bowler Lea Tahuhu was the pick of the bowlers for New Zealand as she picked up four wickets for six runs. Even as Hayley Jensen accounted for two scalps, Amelia Kerr picked up the other wicket of Fahima Khatun.
