Bangladesh played the first ODI series in New Zealand in 2007. The team has played 6 ODI series on New Zealand soil in the last 16 years after being whitewashed, but could not even win a single match. After losing the first two matches of the current series, the number of losses in ODIs on the soil of New Zealand has reached 18.
The last ODI match will start on the 23rd of December at 4 am (Bangladesh Time and 9 am Sydney time).
The Tigers lost the rain-hit first game by 44 runs before suffering a seven-wicket defeat in the second game despite the landmark 169-run knock of Soumya Sarkar.
The defeat extended Bangladesh’s losing streak in ODI on New Zealand soil to 18. With no series in New Zealand in FTP till 2027, the third ODI would be Bangladesh’s last chance so far to end this disappointing streak. If they can do so, they will also avoid the whitewash and fifth straight defeat to New Zealand.
