Mushfiqur Rahim may sit the last match out because of an injury he got while playing the first test.
Key Players
Shakib al Hasan and Sabbir Rahman helped the team put up a good score against New Zealand in the first match, and will be important players if the team wants to win the last match of the tour. The bowlers gave a decent performance as well, with all bowlers pitching in to take wickets. The team gave a commendable performance in the first innings, but totally failed in the second, which cost them the match.
