A draw is the best the Black Caps can salvage from their Twenty20 series against Bangladesh when the two sides meet in Mount Maunganui on Sunday.

Rain ended the prospect of New Zealand levelling the series when game two was abandoned after just 11 overs had been bowled at Bay Oval on Friday night.

That left the hosts chasing a result, after Bangladesh won the opening game of the three-match series in Napier after ripping through the home side’s top order.

There are concerns over the form of Black Caps opener Finn Allen, who was again dismissed cheaply on Friday, with ODI World Cup star Rachin Ravindra awaiting his chance.

Spectators will again be wary after Friday night’s rained-out encounter. Showers, turning to rain in the afternoon, are forecasted, despite a high of 26 degrees

The Black Caps are paying $1.28 at the New Zealand TAB to level the series, while Bangladesh are $3.40 to take the spoils.
