Bangladesh dominated the first game and now have their first win against New Zealand at home. They put up a nice show without their old guard, and are now definitely looking into the future.

New Zealand had their moments with Kane Williamson coming in strongly but they could not make as much of an impact with the ball which is likely to be a concern in the coming games.

BAN vs NZ Key Players

Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson was easily the best player of spin among the New Zealand batters in the first Test. He is in good touch after missing a lot of Cricket and with more spin likely to be on offer in Dhaka he will hold the key.

Monimul Haque

Monimul Haque does not like being in the spotlight. He was their Test captain, but performances dried up during his time at the helm. Now, back as a player, Monimul Haque has a job on hand as a Test specialist coming in after long gaps.

BAN vs NZ Match Tips

Bangladesh did well to take the first Test but New Zealand, a little more familiar after a Test could do a better job in the second Test.
