Bangladesh vs New Zealand, 2nd Test: Probable XI, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, and Live Streaming Details

Bangladesh and New Zealand will lock horns in the second Test of their two-match series on Wednesday, December 6 at Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.

Bangladesh, led by Najmul Hossain Shanto, have a great chance of winning the series after securing a historic 150-run win at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. It was their maiden Test win over the Black Caps at home.

Left-arm spinner Taijul Islam was the star of the show for the Tigers, picking up 10 wickets, including a six-wicket haul in the second innings. Former skipper Mominul Haque turned out to be the man with the golden arm after he picked up three wickets in the first innings.

Shanto became the first Bangladeshi captain to score a hundred on Test captaincy debut. Mahmudul Hasan Joy, Mushfiqur Rahim, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz also chipped in with half-centuries.

For New Zealand, Kane Williamson scored a hundred in the first innings. Meanwhile, Daryl Mitchell notched a fifty in the second, but they could not save the Black Caps from defeat.
