Preview
The fourth match of the five-match T20I series between Bangladesh and New Zealand is set to take place on Wednesday, September 8 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. The Tigers were pretty much comprehensive in the first two games as they had managed an all-important 2-0 lead in the series.
However, the Black Caps made an incredible comeback in the third game. They won by 52 runs and stayed alive in the series. The Kiwis bowled the hosts out for a paltry 76 in 19.4 overs. Bangladesh started their run-chase on a positive note, but fall of regular wickets pushed them back at frequent intervals.

Probable best batsman of the match
Tom Latham– New Zealand
Tom Latham has arguably been the standout batter for New Zealand in the T20I series thus far. In fact, the left-hander is the leading run-scorer of the series, having notched 88 runs at an average of 44 with a strike rate of 106.02. The southpaw is also the only batter in the series to have scored a half-century. He will want to play another knock of substance.
Probable best bowler of the match
Shakib Al Hasan- Bangladesh
Shakib Al Hasan has been impressive with the bat in hand, but he hasn’t flattered to deceive even with the ball in hand. The Khulna-born bowler has picked up four wickets in the series from three matches at an impressive economy rate of 5.25. The left-armer will now look to replicate his performances and turn up with an impressive show.
Today’s match prediction: Bangladesh to win the match.
