BAN vs NZ Match Preview

On Tuesday, November 28, Bangladesh and New Zealand will square off in the first Test of their two-match series. The match will be played at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. Bangladesh’s squad is relatively young, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto. Shakib Al Hasan, Litton Das, and Tamim Iqbal, among others, are not available for the series. Taskin Ahmed has been ruled out with an injury. New Zealand, on the other hand, will be led by Tim Southee and will field a full squad for the series. Rachin Ravindra was sensational in the World Cup and will be hoping to replicate that form in the red-ball format.

BAN vs NZ Pitch Report

The match is not expected to be a high-scoring one in Sylhet. The pitch will largely assist the spinners and run-making would not be easy by any means. Teams should bat first after winning the toss as the pitch would get tougher to bat on.

BAN vs NZ Weather Report

There is no chance of rain throughout the five days of the Test match. Temperatures will be around 22 and 29 degrees Celsius. The sun will be out.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Mominul Haque- He will be expected to get back in the groove quickly even though he has stressed in the recent past that it isn’t easy being a Test specialist playing this format after big gaps.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz- The bowling all-rounder has a golden arm and will pose a serious challenge for the New Zealand batters. Miraz has taken a whopping 89 wickets at an average of 24.40 in just 19 home Tests.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Rachin Ravindra– He is likely to have a different role in the Test series against Bangladesh, probably batting down the order and involved in a lot of bowling.
• Ajaz Patel- Ajaz Patel will lead the spin attack and has been in good form recently. The left-arm spinner recently took his 250th first-class wicket for Central Districts and earlier in May he took ten wickets for Durham against Gloucestershire.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Tom Latham, Mushfiqur Rahim, Devon Conway(VC), Mominul Haque, Kane Williamson, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Rachin Ravindra(C), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Taijul Islam, Tim Southee

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Tom Latham, Mushfiqur Rahim, Devon Conway, Mominul Haque, Daryl Mitchell, Kane Williamson(C), Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz(VC), Shoriful Islam, Taijul Islam, Tim Southee

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Rachin Ravindra, Kane Williamson

Vice-captain – Devon Conway, Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Wicketkeeper – Tom Latham

BAN vs NZ Probable Winners:

With no warm-up game, it will be interesting to see how New Zealand’s players get on in Bangladesh in conditions that are likely to be quite different to those at home. However, Bangladesh are without some of their experienced players and we think overall they will be a level below New Zealand. Our prediction is for New Zealand to win this Test. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
