New Zealand will play Bangladesh in the 2nd Test of the series. New Zealand needs to win this game to tie the series. The Tigers outplayed them in the first Test and then crumbled in the second. If the hosts win the Test, they will need to show more character in their batting.
After 2017, Bangladesh became the first team to defeat New Zealand in New Zealand. It’s a massive win for them after an 8-wicket triumph in the first game of the series. Ebadot Hussain, who got 6 wickets in the second innings, was their game-changer. They remained professional throughout the Test and demonstrated that they were ready to take on the task in the second.
Weather
The temperature is forecast to be between 16~27°C on the first day. The last two days are expected to be rainy, but a complete game is expected.
Pitch
The Hagley Oval in Christchurch has a well-balanced pitch. Batters must practise patience when performing their strokes, and Bowlers should achieve seam movement throughout the game. Because there should be a lot of grass on the surface, seamers should play a significant role.
