Bangladesh will take on New Zealand in the final match of  three-match series after being sent in to bat first at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in the capital on Saturday.

New Zealand skipper Nick Kelly chose to field first after winning the toss.

The series opener in Chattogram saw Bangladesh register a six-wicket victory, while the second match was abandoned due to rain. Weather concerns remain ahead of the final game as conditions continue to appear uncertain.

Bangladesh have made one change to their XI, bringing in Mohammad Saifuddin in place of Tanzim Hasan Sakib, who has been ruled out due to a back injury.

New Zealand, meanwhile, have made two changes as they look to level the series, with Jaden Lennox and Ben Sears replacing Ben Lister and Matt Fisher.

Bangladesh playing XI: Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Saif Hassan, Litton Das (c), Parvez Hossain Emon, Towhid Hridoy, Shamim Hossain, Mohammad Saifuddin, Rishad Hossain, Sheikh Mahedi Hasan, Shariful Islam, Ripon Mondol.

New Zealand playing XI: Tim Robinson, Katene Clarke, Dane Cleaver, Nick Kelly (c), Bevon Jacobs, Dean Foxcroft, Josh Clarkson, Nathan Smith, Ish Sodhi, Jaden Lennox, Ben Sears.
