In a rain-affected third T20I, New Zealand defeated Bangladesh by six wickets, leveling the series at 1-1. Stand-in captain Nick Kelly commended the team's death bowling and clean hitting, particularly highlighting Josh Clarkson, who took 3 wickets for 9 runs, and Bevon Jacobs, who scored an unbeaten 62 runs off 31 balls. New Zealand's innings began shakily at 33 for 4 while chasing a target of 103 runs in 15 overs. Kelly expressed his enjoyment in leading the team during this series, which was marked by the absence of 18 first-choice players due to commitments in the IPL and PSL. He noted that this situation allowed younger players to gain valuable experience, contributing to the team's depth. Looking ahead, New Zealand will face a busy schedule with upcoming red-ball cricket, and Kelly believes that those who performed well in Bangladesh could secure spots in future tours if they continue to excel domestically.
