Bangladesh vs New Zealand, 1st T20I Match Preview:

Bangladesh's batting has become strong with the addition of Mushfiqur Rahim and Liton Das, who were missing in the Australia series. Mahmudullah has been in good form along with Shakib Al Hasan, who is performing with both bat as well as the ball. 

Bangladesh has some quality bowlers in its attack. Mustafizur Rehman is in a league of his own and will get good support from experienced Rubel Hussain at the other end. Mehedi Hassan will be the key in spinning conditions. 

New Zealand has come with a second team for this tour. It will be a test of batting in conditions that can become slow. Tom Latham will be the key in batting. Will Young will be the player to watch out for in this series. 

Ajaz Patel will be a crucial player for New Zealand since he can extract good spin from the conditions. Matt Henry could prove to be a game-changer.
