Match Preview

The series comes as a perfect opportunity for both teams to fine-tune their preparation for the ICC T20 World Cup in Oman and UAE in October and November. Bangladesh has named a full-strength squad and will be high on confidence after thrashing Australia by 4-1 in the five-match series which was also their first series win over the Kangaroos. New Zealand, on the other hand, last played their T20I series in March- April against Bangladesh. Black Caps thrashed the visitors 3-0 in the T20I series.

Bangladesh Tigers will take on New Zealand in the first of the 5-match T20I series on Wednesday. On home conditions, Bangladesh are hard to beat, and the recent 4-1 series victory over Australia proved that once again. Liton Das and Musfiqur Rahim, who missed the previous series, are back into the squad. Both are top quality players and will bring further experience to the in-form Bangladeshi side.

It’s going to be a tough tour for the inexperienced New Zealand side. None of the players featuring here are a part New Zealand’s 2021 ICC T20 World Cup squad. Adaptability will be the key for their players, here on the typical Bangladeshi surface, which is exactly the opposite prototype of what they are used to back home.
