After the three-match ODI series, Bangladesh-New Zealand will enter the field in the 3-match T20 series. The first match of the series in Napier is tomorrow. Despite winning the ODI series by 2-1 before going down in this match, the host captain Mitchell Santner gave a glimpse of competition in the T20 series.

After unveiling the trophy today, Santner told the media, "The ODI series has been very competitive.

Bangladesh played well in all three matches. They did great especially in the third game. The pitch may have had some help, but they bowled in a lot of good places. They deserved to win.

I hope there will be a good fight in this series as well.

After losing the first two matches of the ODI series, the Bangladesh team, which confirmed the series loss, blew away the Kiwis in the last ODI. The visitors will start the T20 series with the confidence of winning with 9 wickets and 209 balls in hand. Before the start of the series, the host captain thinks that Bangladesh has shown how good a team they are.

"Actually, we played against a good team that day," Santner said. They have shown how competitive they can be. Before entering the field in the series, we knew that Bangladesh is a team with a lot of quality. They played great that day. The batting-bowling was excellent everywhere.

The credit for the victory belongs to them.' Santner said that he is starting the preparations for the T20 World Cup next year with this series against Bangladesh, 'This series is very important for us. We have to play with what is in front of us. I am expecting a very competitive series here against Bangladesh.
