What a game we witnessed in the 1st Test of the 2022 Bangladesh tour of New Zealand. Never before had the visiting team ever won an international game against this team at their home venue, and it was a moment of history as they won the 1st Test by 8 wickets. Now, Bangladesh is set for another challenge as they move into the 2nd Test and they’re in search of history again, as they eye a Test series victory.
They move to Hagley Oval for the 2nd Test and New Zealand is not going to take the last defeat laying low. Remember, they are the World Test Championship winners and this is their home territory, so they will strike back, and hard too. There’s a little rain forecasted for Day 4 of the game but we don’t see many disruptions because of weather here.

Numbers
- Head to head in last 5 Tests, New Zealand leads 4-1.
- New Zealand – lost only one of their 8 Tests at this venue.
- Ross Taylor – only one fifty in 7 Test matches here.
- Will Young scores in the 1st Test – 52 and 69.
New Zealand
It’s going to be Ross Taylor’s farewell Test match after announcing his retirement last month. He scored 31 and 40 in the last game and looked in good touch but overall, he has a poor record at this ground and with his last Test fifty coming 9 innings ago, we’re skipping him from our NZ vs BAN fantasy team. Will Young looked good in India and is clearly a good player of spin, so we’re picking him after his twin fifties last game.
Another batting pick could be captain Tom Latham who won’t be in many NZ vs BAN Dream11 teams today after scoring only 1 and 14 in the 1st Test but he’s the highest scorer at this ground with 4 fifties and a century in 8 games here. With the ball, Kyle Jamieson got only one wicket in each innings and we’d rather want someone like Neil Wagner who is an absolute bowling machine in Tests. All-rounder Daryl Mitchell is also likely to come in for Rachin Ravindra.
Bangladesh
After a great outing in the last Test, an injury has ruled out Mahmudul Hasan Joy, which means an opener’s slot is vacant for either of Fazle Mahmud or Mohammad Naim. Someone who has become very reliable for them with the bat is Litton Das who missed a century in the last game and scored one in November against Pakistan, so is in sublime form. One of the youngster who also got a fifty in the last game and should be selected is Najmul Hossain Shanto.

He wasn’t a part of the T20 World Cup team but 24-year old Mehidy Hasan Miraz is a genuine all-rounder with 4 wickets and 47 runs in the last game and he makes our PlayerzPot (Use Code “READ1234“) NZ vs BAN fantasy team, even a good option for fantasy captain or vice-captain. One of the heroes of the last game’s victory with the ball after bagging 6/46 in the second innings was Ebadot Hossain and we’re not leaving him out either.
