Bangladesh desire to bounce back in 2nd ODI

Sports Desk

Bangladesh are eyeing a good comeback in the second game of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand in Nelson on Wednesday after losing their opening encounter.

Bangladesh‍‍`s white-ball cricket has never known victory in New Zealand. Before this series, stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto declared their intention to rewrite history.

Ahead of the second match, Tigers‍‍` head coach Chandika Hathurusingha expressed optimism about the good weather conditions in Nelson and their desire to level the series.

He acknowledged their batting shortcomings in the rain-affected first match, where top-order starts weren‍‍`t converted into substantial scores.

"The wicket looks good for cricket," Chandika said. "The outfield is great and fast."
