Mustafiz returns as NZ opt to bowl in series-deciding ODI

Published : Thursday, 23 April, 2026 at 11:22 AM  Count : 128

Bangladesh have recalled pacer Mustafizur Rahman as New Zealand elected to field first in the series-deciding third One-Day International (ODI) in Chattogram on Thursday.

New Zealand captain Tom Latham won the toss and chose to bowl, putting Bangladesh in to bat in the series-decider match after the two teams shared the first two games.

The hosts made two changes to their lineup, bringing Mustafizur back in place of Taskin Ahmed, who drops out after playing the second ODI. The left-arm seamer had missed the first two matches due to injury.

Bangladesh also adjusted their spin attack, with Tanvir Islam replacing Rishad Hossain in the side.

The match will decide the series, with both teams winning one game each so far.

Playing XIs:

Bangladesh: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Soumya Sarkar, Saif Hassan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (captain), Mustafizur Rahman, Nahid Rana, Shoriful Islam, Tanvir Islam.

New Zealand: Henry Nicholls, Nick Kelly, Will Young, Tom Latham (captain), Dean Foxcroft, Muhammad Abbas, Josh Clarkson, Nathan Smith, Ben Lister, Will O’Rourke, Jayden Lennox.
