BAN vs NZ: Players to Watch out for
Taijul Islam was the MOTM in the first test for his 10-wicket haul. The left-arm spinner was unplayable for the last two days of the test. He helped the team win the game. The pitch in Dhaka will help the spinners, and he will be a big threat for the Kiwis.
Kane Wiliamson smashed a brilliant hundred in the first inning but couldn't carry on in the second. But he will be the most important wicket in New Zealand's batting. The former captain is in good form and will look to take his team to victory.
BAN vs NZ: Pitch Report
The pitch in Dhaka will, as usual, assist the spinners, which will benefit the hosts. New Zealand need to add some variety to its spin attack. Meanwhile, the weather will be overcast on Days 2 and 3, which will help the pacers. All in all, it will be challenging conditions for a batter.
