NZ vs BAN 1st T20 Prediction & Betting Tips
After a disappointing ODI series, Bangladesh will look to salvage their pride in the T20Is. Read our preview for New Zealand Vs Bangladesh 1st T20I that will be played at the Seddon Park, Hamilton and will get underway at 2:00 PM local time
After a poor ODI series, Bangladesh will be looking to salvage their pride in the shortest format of the game. However, going by their performance in the ODI series, a win for the visitors looks highly unlikely.
Moreover, they will be without the services of their best player, Tamim Iqbal. The batting looks pretty wobbly for these conditions while the bowling isn't promising either. They don't seem to have a bowler who can trouble the Kiwis. Also, Bangladesh haven't won a single game in New Zealand till date.
For the hosts, despite having a young squad for the T-20Is, they'll go in as massive favourites. Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway stroked hundreds in the final ODI and will be high on confidence.
Martin Guptill is also in scintillating form. Will Young, Glenn Phillips are coming back from some hefty performances of late. The strong batting is backed by a lethal pace attack of Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson and Hamish Bennett. Overall, the hosts, for the moment, looks too good for Bangladesh.

NZ vs BAN Toss Prediction
The uncertainly of the conditions might force the skipper to chase in the first game.
Pitch Report
The surface should be a decent wicket to bat. However, the conditions are expected to be overcast which may allow the ball to nip around a bit. It should also have some extra pace and bounce.
Weather Report
The conditions will be overcast and there are 10% chances of rain on the match day

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Jimmy Neesham and Tim Seifert are all not part of this series. Finn Allen can be expected to make his debut
NZ Key Players
- Devon Conway - Conway has been in red hot form. He was the second leading run scorer of the Super mash, had a decent T20I series and against Australia and fetched his maiden hundred in his 3rd ODI. He can be backed to come good in the 1st T20I
- Martin Guptill - Guptill is a clean striker of a cricket ball. He was New Zealand’s leading run scorer in the T20I series against Australia and would look to replicate his performance.
- Daryl Mitchell- He’s a quality all rounder and has been in brilliant form in the last two months. He stroked a 100 in the last match. He’s a very handy pacer too.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand played Australia in a 5 match T20I series prior to the Bangladesh assignment. They won the first two games but lost the next two to level the series. New Zealand defeated Australia in the final to clinch the series 3-2
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Devon Conway (wk), Martin Guptill, Finn Allen, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tim Southee (c), Ish Sodhi, Todd Astle/Adam Milne, Lockie Ferguson
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Tamim Iqbal pulled out of the T20I series due to personal reasons. Mossadek Hossain, who missed out the ODI series due to injury and might be back in the playing XI.
BAN Key Players
- Mahmudullah - Mahmudullah is one of the most experienced Bangladesh batsmen and has a decent record in T20Is. In the absence of Tamim, he'll be Bangladesh's biggest hope.
- Mohammed Mithun - Mithun batted well in the ODI series and even scored a 50 in the second game. Bangladesh fans will expect a decent performance from him.
- Mustafizur Rahman - He is a canny bowler with a lot of variations. He can be difficult to take away for runs.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh hasn’t played a T20I series March 2020 where they defeated Zimbabwe 2-0. Their squad is pretty much the same as ODIs and the form of the players will be a cause of concern.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Liton Das, Mohammad Naim, Soumya Sarkar, Afif Hossain/Mosaddek Hossain, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Mahmudullah (c), Mohammad Mithun, Mahedi Hasan, Mohammad Saifuddin, Mustafizur Rahman, Taskin Ahmed

🏆 New Zealand vs Bangladesh Prediction
New Zealand is a far superior team and should easily get past Bangladesh in this T20I series. Bangladesh will be without the services of Shakib and Tamim, their two big guns and the way other batsmen played against New Zealand, their chances looks grim. The stats are also not in their favour as they have lost all their matches against the Kiwis.
