Eden Park, Auckland: A look at the T20I records
Bangladesh's New Zealand tour will culminate with a T20I fixture at Eden Park in Auckland. The visitors have never played a T20I on this ground, while New Zealand have a 9-14 win-loss record in the shortest format of the game here.
That said, the Black Caps emerged victorious in the two T20I matches played at Eden Park last year. They beat the West Indies cricket team by five wickets in November before recording a win against Pakistan by the same margin.
