Bangladesh will be hosting New Zealand for two test matches. Both teams played the first half of the tour ahead of the World Cup 2023, which was a three-match ODI series. Now the tests will be played. The first test match will be played on Tuesday.
This game will take place at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet. This is also the first test series for both teams in the World Test Championship 2023–25 cycle, which is why it is very important for both teams to win.

BAN vs NZ: Players to Watch out for
Mehidy Hasan Miraz will be a key player for the hosts. He will be their premium spinner, and his batting skills will be another area on which Bangladesh will rely. The all-rounder will be the player to watch out for.
Rachin Ravindra ended the World Cup 2023 as the highest run scorer for New Zealand and has been in great form. He will be the key man with the bat for the visitors. But with the pitch helping the spinners, his role as a bowler will also be vital.
BAN vs NZ: Pitch Report
The surface at Sylhet Stadium is helpful for the spinners. Batting will be better on the first three days of the game, but it will become more challenging as the game goes on days 4 or 5. Spinners will be pretty effective here.
