Can Bangladesh turn the tides around in T20 format?
After being completely outclassed in the ODI series, Bangladesh will hope for a swing of fortunes when they take on New Zealand in the T20I series. The first of the three T20Is will be played on January 3 at the McLean Park, Napier. Live action is scheduled to begin at 7 PM local time.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
Batting will depend mostly on Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson who are two of the leading run-getters for New Zealand in the shortest format. Williamson was seen in good form during the ODI series and we predict him to top-score for his side in this match. With no Tim Southee around, Trent Boult and Mitchell Santner seem to be their best bets with the ball. Santner has taken 17 wickets from 10 T20Is for New Zealand and he is more likely to trouble the Bangladeshi batsmen at this ground.
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
Tamim Iqbal has scored the most number of runs for Bangladesh in the 20-overs format and the team will need him to be on top of his game. Shakib Al Hasan is a key component with the bat in the middle order and he will also be used as the main weapon when it comes to bowling. The allrounder has taken 65 wickets - the most by any Bangladeshi bowler in this format - and we therefore predict him to create a few problems for the Kiwi batters in this match.
New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Betting Odds
New Zealand have played a total of ten T20Is in 2016 of which they have won eight and lost only two. So they have been in quite a good form in this format of late which is why they are coming into this match as overwhelming favorites to win at 1.24 with 1xbet and 1.20 with bet365. Bangladesh have faced defeats in their previous four T20Is and are distant outsiders for this one at 4.9 and 4.50 respectively.
New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st T20I Prediction
Both teams will be playing a T20I since last featuring in the 2016 World T20 held in India. They have been head-to-head in this format four times in the past with the hosts winning on all the four occasions. Bangladesh are already finding it hard to overcome these foreign conditions, especially with the bat and it could get tougher without the presence of Mushfiqur Rahim in the side. For the tourists to have any chance of beating the hosts, they will have to perform collectively as a unit which they have failed to do so far on this tour.
Though T20 cricket is unpredictable and it is a format where the champions sometimes get stunned by the minnows, we feel New Zealand will carry their ODI form into the T20s and go 1-0 up on Tuesday.
Final Verdict: Back New Zealand to beat Bangladesh in the first T20I at 1.24 with betfair and 1.20 with bet365.
