Cricket Prediction | Bangladesh vs New Zealand | 2^nd Test | Dec 06 – It will be an interesting match to watch.

BAN vs NZ Match Analysis

This week at Mirpur, Bangladesh, and New Zealand will play the second and last Test of their series. Last week’s series opener in Sylhet was won by the Tigers. Here, they have a great chance to win the series. New Zealand’s best chance is to draw the entire series.

Shakib Al Hasan, an all-rounder, and Liton Das, a batsman, were among the first-choice players missing for Bangladesh heading into the opening match of the series. The hosts, who weren’t exactly favorites to win the game, succeeded in doing so, and now they have the opportunity to finish the task at hand by winning the series.

Among the first to concede that they were just not good enough in the opening game of the series was New Zealand. They have the opportunity to quickly make amends in Mirpur and put Sylhet’s wrongs behind them. Ish Sodhi, a seasoned spinner, has all but demanded that the Kiwis take note of the things the Tigers did well the previous time around.

BAN vs NZ Team Preview & Squads

Bangladesh

In the first innings in Sylhet, the top eight batters for Bangladesh all scored in double digits. However, not one of them became a century. Mahmudul Hasan Joy scored the most runs for them throughout the innings with an 86. The hosts must improve their ability to turn strong starts into crushing defeats. The inspirational second-inning centurion for Bangladesh was Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto.

In the first Test, Bangladesh’s most impressive ball-handler was left-arm spinner Taijul Islam. For a match-high ten-wicket haul, he took four in the first innings and six in the second. Player of the contest, he may be in for another outstanding performance.

It is unlikely that Bangladesh will alter their winning lineup. This means that in the face of a bowling assault that is heavy on spin, Shoriful Islam will have to handle most, if not all, of the seaming duties. In the first Test, he bowled 19 overs and claimed two wickets.

Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Nurul Hasan (wk), Zakir Hasan, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shahadat Hossain, Nayeem Hasan, Mominul Haque, Taijul Islam, Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Shoriful Islam

New Zealand

In the first game of the series, Tom Latham and Devon Conway of the Black Caps performed poorly. Latham and Conway, who are averse to spin and are more at ease against the seam, must effectively avoid the dangers presented by Islam and the other spinners from Bangladesh. Regarding New Zealand’s middle order, the same can be said.

In Sylhet, the New Zealanders sent out three spinners. Although Sodhi, Ajaz Patel, and Glenn Phillips were successful both individually and collectively in spurts, they lacked the durability to threaten Bangladesh’s batsmen, who are formidable against foreign spin.

Following his injury-plagued absence, fast bowler Kyle Jamieson is back in action, so it will be intriguing to watch if the visitors start him in the starting lineup for this second Test match. If so, he may come on as first-change and leave a spinner with the new ball, or he could open the bowling once more with Tim Southee.
