Pitch Report

Another sluggish pitch awaits the two sides in Dhaka with spin expected to play a major role in the game. There isn't much swing on offer for the pacers, with change of pace being the key in the backend of the innings. The batsmen will look to target the powerplay overs with the hard new ball coming onto the bat nicely. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to bat first upon winning the toss.

Today’s BAN vs NZ Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Tom Latham: Although Kiwi captain Tom Latham came up with a superlative knock in the previous game, he couldn't take his side over the line. Given the form that he is in, Latham will be one to watch out for in this game.

Batsman

Finn Allen: Finn Allen is one of the most exciting talents in the world with his ability to provide quick starts at the top of the order being highly valued. Although he hasn't played in quite some time, his explosiveness should be a breath of fresh air for the Kiwis in the fixture.

All-rounder

Shakib Al Hasan: Star all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has been in brilliant form with both the bat and ball over the last few months. The nature of the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium pitch plays into his hands, making him a must-have in your BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.

Bowler

Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman has been impressive with his cutters in recent months. He has improved in leaps and bounds with his accuracy and is one of Bangladesh's go-to bowlers, one to watch out for in this game.
