BAN vs NZ Key Players

Mahmadullah

From being their finisher and experienced head in the middle order, Mahmadullah’s career went downwards following his Test retirement. He now has a slim chance of redemption with a call-up and a really good showing here could put him in for his Final World Cup.

Rachin Ravindra

Rachin Ravindra has a shot at making a big mark here after a good showing in England. With Mitchell Santenr injured and turning tracks on offer he could come to the fore as a bowler with some good performances.
