Only rain prevented Bangladesh from registering a historic series win against New Zealand at Mount Maunganui. Charged by their maiden wins over the Black Caps in One Day Internationals and T20 Internationals in New Zealand, the Tigers looked to seal a memorable series win but were thwarted in their attempt to do so due to relentless rain at the venue. As such, the match was abandoned, leaving Bangladesh with a 1-0 lead in the contest and the assurance of at least a series tie. (IND-W Vs AUS-W Scorecard | Cricket News)

Bangladesh, assured of, at least, a draw, will be playing to make history, while New Zealand, who can't win the series mathematically anymore, will have pride at stake.
