Bangladesh defeated Pakistan 2-1 in the just concluded ODI series at home. All of the matches were held at Dhaka's Shere Bangla Stadium, where they had previously lost two consecutive games to New Zealand in 2023. A strong bowling attack combined with excellent bowling conditions at the venue creates the ideal recipe for a comeback. New Zealand's bowling attack appears to have changed dramatically since their previous tour. Michael Bracewell is a massive miss. Ben Sears and Blaire Tickner must spearhead the attack against a formidable batting lineup that includes Litton Das, Soumya Sarkar, as well as the in-form Tanzid Hasan. The hosts appear stronger on document, with an in-form and more experienced squad overall.

BAN vs NZ Pitch Report
This is a real pitch that benefits both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers will do well here with the new ball, particularly in overcast conditions. However, as the ball's shine wears off, batting will become easier.
BAN vs NZ Weather Report
With overcast overhead conditions anticipated in the first half of the game, we believe both captains will prefer to field first in this match.
