NZ vs BAN Match Preview
Bangladesh created history in the first T20I match when they defeated New Zealand and secured their first victory in New Zealand. Can the Bangla tigers create another record by registering their first series win in New Zealand. The way they have showed up and turned things around in the final ODI and the first T20I is remarkable.
On the other hand the home team New Zealand struggled with the bat in their last two outings. In the absence of their senior pro’s. The young guns are yet to deliver and excel in T20 internationals. It is going to a tough task for New Zealand as Bangladesh look fearless and ready to strike. Both the batsman and bowlers in-form for Bangladesh and we have an exciting game on our hands.
