The Bangladesh national cricket team is playing New Zealand on its home soil in October 2013. The series would be quite interesting because both teams are evenly balanced. One T 20 match is going to be played between the two teams. Bangladesh has already played the series in the early part of this year. It was against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. People of Bangladesh are looking forward to the matches because it is for the first time that their national team is playing the series at home in 2013. The BPL was held in January and attracted a large number of people.
As a team Bangladesh has improved by leaps and bounds over the years. In the last series against New Zealand they won by 4-0 which states that they are no pushovers and would give a tough fight to any team. The T 20 match would be played on 6 the November at Sylhet. It will start at 7:30 A.M GMT; however it is important to buy the tickets one month ago. There are test matches as well which will be played in Bangladesh.
NZ vs BAN T20 series schedule is available in Excel as well as PDF format. There will be 3 ODI matches played between both the teams. In the ICC world T20 cricket championship, New Zealand won by 59 runs. On winning the toss New Zealand was first put into bat and they scored 191 runs in 20 over. It was a wonderful knock from Brendon McCullum because he hit a century and had an amazing partnership with Franklin.
From Bangladesh Abdur Razzak took two wickets and help to stifle the scoring. When Bangladesh came to bat they were not able to remove the shackles imposed on the scoring. Tamin Iqbal was out for no score; however Nazir Hossain scored a 50 and tried to resist the bowling of the kiwis. Soon the Bangladesh innings folded for 132 and was a huge setback for the country because it was out of the world cup. From the New Zealand squad, KD mills took 3 wickets along with TG Southee. The match was quite enticing as both sides had big hitters but in the end New Zealand were a better side. Two teams will witness the same intensity when they will lock horns in the coming series. Winter months will lead to more dew and both the teams would like to bat second because bowlers would not be able to grip the ball properly. It will help the batsmen to make runs. The New Zealand team includes Ross Taylor, Brandon Mccullum who is the captain.
As far as competitiveness is concerned New Zealand has recently played cricket in South Africa and England. They will be in good form because they have played hard cricket. Some bowlers and batsmen in the kiwi side can be very dangerous; therefore Bangladesh can never relax and have to play out of their skin to win matches. The whole world would be looking forward to witness the series.
