The tag underdog is best suited for these two teams New Zealand and Bangladesh respectively but to varying degrees and comparisons, as Kiwis always considered as a team you can't take it late coz it frightens you more on the field than on paper and Bangladesh being crawling slowing a loss against them considered as sloppy.
It has been the story for a long time for the both sides respectively but not anymore as Kiwis now more frightened on paper as well and their transformation through Baz has changed their own perspective and others too.While for Bangladesh since WC15 their side produced some existing fight against top nations at home winning Series in a row.
Now the contest between this two sides as their own rivalry to possess as Both sides dominated in their last outings at their respective home Series against each other. But for now they got a lean patch going for either side after a huge hike in the rankings and they seek to turn in that way were they good at as the ODI series set to up wrap from Monday at Christchurch.
While the pitch at Christchurch as produced friendly green covering for pacers in the recent encounter between Pakistan and New Zealand and it's likely to be of the same sort.
New Zealand
The team now in a process of finding their middle order slots with Taylor injury and also due to his sloppy form over recent times and Nicholas hadn't capitalized on it during Aussie tour as a result left out from the squad where Broom included. While in the bowling Henry likely to tri up with Boult and Southee.
Possible XI: Martin Guptill, 2 Tom Latham, 3 Kane Williamson (capt), 4 Neil Broom, 5 Colin Munro, 6 Luke Ronchi (wk), 7 Colin de Grandhomme, 8 Mitchell Santner, 9 Tim Southee, 10 Matt Henry 11 Trent Boult
Bangladesh
Meanwhile Bangladesh happy in welcoming Mustafizur Rahaman back into the squad which adds more versatile to their attack, but their concern is more with the limited batting resources where they need all-rounders more with the bat.
Possible XI: 1. Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Sabbir Rahman, 4 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 5 Shakib Al Hasan, 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Mosaddek Hossain, 8 Mehedi Hasan, 9 Mashrafe Mortaza (capt), 10 Mustafizur Rahman, 11 Taskin Ahmed
So both sides have their own Stakes to be resolved but for Bangladesh, this series is more vital for them in terms of performances and as well in states region too for more away tours alongside it's their next step to replicate their home form outside sub continent. Although coming back to this series the contest determines on how Bangladesh batsmen can give their bowlers a chance at to bowl against the Hosts.
