Bangladesh are all set to host New Zealand for a three-match ODI series. The first game will be played on Thursday at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka at 1:30 PM IST.
New Zealand have not arrived with all first-team players but a few of them will get accustomed to the conditions in the Indian subcontinent ahead of the World Cup 2023. On the other hand, Bangladesh are coming off a disappointing campaign in the Asia Cup 2023.
However, Bangladesh got a big boost after a win over India in their last game. They will be eager to look to gain some momentum ahead of the World Cup 2023. In this post, we will take a closer look at the Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch, Venue Stats, Record, and Average Score ahead of the 1st ODI game between Bangladesh vs New Zealand.
It is a slow wicket and the spinners are likely to dominate the proceedings here. The batters will have to be technically correct to score runs here. The batting might get easier under lights and hence, the team winning the toss is likely to field first.
