DHAKA,  – Bangladesh kept the squad unchanged for the fourth consecutive time in the series as they would bowl first against New Zealand in the fourth Twnety20 International at Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium today.

The outcome was ensured after New Zealand skipper Tom Latham won the toss and chose to bat first. Bangladesh are leading the five-match series 2-1. After losing the first two matches by seven wickets and four runs respectively, New Zealand hit back with a thumping 52-run victory in the third game.

They also gained necessary boost up by bowling Bangladesh out for their joint second lowest T20 International total of 76, which is also the hosts’ lowest total at home. The visitors however are keen to level the series, making the fifth and final game on Friday a deciding one.

Unlike Bangladesh, the Kiwis brought up two changes with Hamish Bennett and Blair Tickner returning in place of Jacob Duffy and Scott Kuggeleijn.
