Date and Time: 3rd September, 3:30 PM IST

Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka

Pitch Report

A rank turner is expected at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, with the batsmen having to work hard for their runs. Although there isn't much swing on offer for the pacers, variable bounce could help their cause. Back of a length deliveries might hold up a touch, with the square boundary dimensions playing a big role. The spinners should have a significant say in this game with wickets in hand being key. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 130-140 being par at the venue.

Today’s BAN vs NZ Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tom Latham: Tom Latham was able to hold his own against Bangladesh's spinners in the middle overs but failed to get a big score. Given his experience and ability against spin, Latham will be key to New Zealand's fortunes in this game.

Batsman

Colin de Grandhomme: Colin de Grandhomme is New Zealand's most experienced batsman in this format with a couple of key knocks in subcontinent conditions to his name as well. Although he isn't in the best of forms, he is still a force to reckon with in the middle order.

All-rounder

Shakib Al Hasan: Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan put in a match-winning performance in the previous game as he starred with both bat and ball. Given Shakib's recent form, he is bound to be a popular pick in today's BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy teams.

Bowler

Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman has done well on sluggish tracks with his cutters proving to be quite lethal towards the backend of the innings. With form on his side, Rahman is a must-have in your BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
