Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2nd ODI: Bangladesh will take on New Zealand in the second ODI of the 3-match series at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday, September 23.

The first match of the series at the same venue on Thursday ended without a result due to rain. New Zealand could bat for only 33.4 before the match was abandoned.

Weather forecast for Saturday, September 23 is also not good in Dhaka. There is a high chance of rain in the Bangladesh capital which will also stage the third ODI on Tuesday, September 26.

The precipitation will be as high as 100 percent on Saturday. The humidity level will hover around 76 percent.

"Remaining cloudy; a morning thunderstorm in parts of the area followed by a couple of thunderstorms around in the afternoon," AccuWeather has predicted.

In case the second match is also washed out or abandoned, the winner of the third ODI will win the series. The ODI series is the last dress rehearsal opportunity for both Bangladesh and New Zealand.

However, both the teams have rested their key players. Litton Das is leading the Bangladesh team, while Lockie Ferguson is New Zealand's skipper for the series. Shakib Al Hasan and Kane Williamson are among the high-profile players who have opted out of the series.
