Rain washes out 2nd T20I as Bangladesh lead series 1-0

The second
T20I between Bangladesh and New Zealand at the Bir Shreshtha Flight Lt Matiur
Rahman Stadium in Chattogram was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to
persistent rain today.
Heavy to
moderate showers continued throughout the day in the port city, leaving
conditions overcast and the outfield too damp for play. The toss, originally
scheduled for 1:30 pm, was delayed as ground staff struggled to make the field
match-ready.
After
several inspections, match officials called off the game at 4:20 pm, with no
possibility of play.
Bangladesh
currently lead the three-match series 1-0, having secured a 25-run victory in
the opening encounter.
The third
and final T20I is set to take place at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on
Saturday.
According
to a press release from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), spectators who
purchased tickets online for the abandoned match will receive refunds in line
with the board’s applicable policy.
