Bangladesh and New Zealand will lock horns against each other in a five-match T20I series starting 1st September. All the matches of the series will be played at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.The series will serve as a preparatory assignment for both teams ahead of the T20 World Cup. New Zealand are set to play a series in Bangladesh for the first time since 2013. Some of the key players from Bangladesh who missed in the Australia series are back on the side. On the other hand, New Zealand will be playing without some of the key members of the squad. Several first team players including Kane Williamson, Trent Boult, Kylie Jamieson and Lockie Ferguson will be unavailable owing to their involvement in the IPL, which clashes with the current tour. Finn Allen who is in quarantine after being tested Covid-19 positive will be replaced by Matt Henry. Tom Latham will lead New Zealand in the absence of Kane Williamson on their white-ball tours. The teams meet again for the second time this season and Bangladesh playing at home will try taking advantage of the same to clinch the series victory. As the teams meet for the series opener, I have assorted the best Bangladesh vs New Zealand betting odds for you.

BAN vs NZ Team Bets:

Since we wish to bring to you the match prediction well ahead of time, the oddsmakers are yet to come up with markets for the fixture. However, after a very thorough analysis I have picked the winner bets from the BAN vs NZ betting tips for you to make easy cash from.

New Zealand To Win

New Zealand last toured Bangladesh in 2013, when they drew Tests in Chattogram in Dhaka, and lost the ODIs 0-3, before winning the solitary T20I. Bangladesh since then have made three tours to New Zealand, winning not even a single game. On their most recent tour earlier this year, the visiting Bangladesh team suffered 3-0 clean sweeps in both ODIs and T20Is, as their search for victory continued. Bangladesh have always had a disastrous against New Zealand as in the last five head-to-head encounters, the Bangla Tigers have not been able to make a mark in a single match. Co-incidentally the Kiwis played the last T20I cricket this season against Bangladesh itself.

Earlier to that New Zealand had played a five-match white-ball series against Australia earlier this season. New Zealand had quite distinctively won the series by 3-1. It is fair to put it this way that New Zealand are on a winning streak and will not leave this opportunity to register another series win prior to the T20 World Cup. While New Zealand sit pretty in the third position on the ICC T20I ranking Bangladesh occupy the tenth spot. This is one of the top bets from the BAN vs NZ match prediction and Dafabet has offered winner bets of 2.18 in favour of New Zealand to win.
