Bangladesh will host New Zealand in the third and final T20I of the ongoing series at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. The match will be held on Saturday, May 2, at 1:30 PM IST.

The second T20I at Chattogram was washed out due to rain, meaning Bangladesh still hold a 1-0 lead as they won the first game by 6 wickets.

Bangladesh batted brilliantly in the 183-run chase courtesy of Towhid Hridoy’s half-century. The hosts chased down the total with 2 overs to spare, thus registering a commanding victory.

For New Zealand, the new squad is still adjusting. They haven’t found the right synergy yet, and that gap in experience is costing them big time.

Regardless, the third T20I is an opportunity for New Zealand to level the series and bow out of the tour on a high. 

Ahead of the crucial game, let’s see how the pitch and weather will behave in Dhaka on matchday.

The Sher-e-Bangla Stadium pitch report for BAN vs NZ 3rd T20I suggests that the surface is expected to be seam-friendly because it has been covered for several days. Hence, moisture is likely to stay on the surface, which usually helps fast bowlers early on.

Fast bowlers can expect swing and seam movement in the powerplay. But batting could be tricky at the start before the pitch settles.

Moreover, teams often prefer to bowl first as per the BAN vs NZ Pitch Report of Shere Bangla Stadium because the pitch is fresh early, and dew later makes chasing easier.

Meanwhile, the Dhaka Weather Report for BAN vs NZ 3rd T20I suggests that the temperatures will hover around 29°C with high humidity.

83% cloud cover will persist with moderate wind speed. However, rain probability stands at 96% with 58% thunderstorm probability as well. It is expected to rain 13-14 mm at Dhaka on May 2, and the rain could last up to 3 hours.

This isn’t just a passing shower, but multiple spells of rain with thunderstorms are likely throughout the day.

With precipitation chances extremely high in the BAN vs NZ Weather Forecast of Dhaka, there is a real risk of delays, reduced overs, or even abandonment, similar to what has already been seen earlier in the series.

Conclusion

Overall, the weather is not at all favourable for a game of cricket in Dhaka. The third T20I between Bangladesh and New Zealand could most likely be severely impacted, or even abandoned, due to rain.

If that happens, the series could go in Bangladesh’s favour. Regardless, New Zealand must pray that the weather gods work in their favour so that they get a chance to at least put up a fight.
