New Zealand to play charity Twenty20 against Bangladesh

DHAKA, Nov 24 (Reuters) New Zealand will host a Twenty20 match against Bangladesh in December to raise funds for cyclone survivors in the South Asian country, the Bangladesh Cricket Board said today.

The game will be played in Hamilton on December 23 during Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand on which they are also due to play three one-day internationals and two tests.

Cyclone Sidr struck Bangladesh last week, killing around 3,500 people and leaving thousands missing or homeless.
