The lone match between New Zealand and Bangladesh is to be played in the stadium of Dhaka and could be an amazing affair because the two teams would be meeting after a long time. The last encounter in the ICC T20 championship was won by New Zealand by a fair margin. Batting first the kiwis romped home with 191 runs in 20 over. All the Bangladesh bowlers were unable to create an impression on the batsmen who batted with great determination. It is a well known fact that although the kiwis do not perform well in the test matches, they are quite a handful in the shorter version. The match would start at 1:35 A.M Bangla time and would attract a large number of spectators. During the last series in Bangladesh, the Kiwis got a huge drubbing by 4-0. It was a complete whitewash, since then the Bangla team has come a long way. Prior to this series Bangladesh has played with Zimbabwe and drew the test series by winning each of the matches.

The kiwis have been playing wonderful cricket with different teams like South Africa and England. They are considered to be the two best teams. Therefore, New Zealanders are at the top of their game. Bangladesh will have a tough time on the field because of the class players in the kiwi side. New Zealand has defeated Sri Lanka in the ICC champion trophy series by one wicket and can cause a few upsets. It is important buy tickets prior to the match or else you might face hassles at the last moment. This will be a cracker of the series with two sides vying for supremacy. With champion bowlers in their side New Zealand would aim for a clean sweep in the series however Bangladesh would give them a tough time.
