Tigers and Kiwis face-off

Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand is already underway. It is an important series for both the teams considering that they both lost their last ODI series. NZ were crushed by the mighty Aussies in their recently concluded ODI series in Australia. As far as Bangladesh is concerned, they also lost their last ODI series against England in Bangladesh. Thus, this series is crucial for both teams and for their confidence.

 NZ has had quite a dismal time in ODI matches since September 2016. In order to get their form back, the Kiwis must bounce back and put up a good fight against the Tigers. No doubt, they will try everything to win.

The Tigers, on the other hand, must not be taken lightly. They may have lost the ODI series against England, but they once again showed good fighting spirit. And they do have a very good track record of surprising any team on their day. The Tigers do, however, have to ensure that all their key players are in good physical condition. Mustafizur Rahman has just recovered from a shoulder injury which prevented him from playing for a while. 

Overall, there is no doubt that the clash between the Tigers and the Kiwis should produce a great spectacle for everyone.
