Bangladesh are all set to square off against New Zealand in the second one-day game on Saturday. The game will be held at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka at 1:30 PM IST.
The first game of the three-match series was washed out because of rain. However, Bangladesh bowlers managed to impress within the short spell of play. They reduced the Kiwis to 136/5 in 33.4 overs before the rain interrupted the game.
Bangladesh will take a lot of confidence from the last game as they managed to dominate the proceedings in the first ODI. New Zealand, on the other hand, will try to improve and work on their batting in the tough and slow surfaces while walking into the second game.
In this post, we will take a look at the Shere Bangla National Stadium Pitch, Venue Stats, Record, and Average Score ahead of the 2nd one-day match between Bangladesh vs New Zealand.
The surface is on the sluggish side and the batting won’t be easy on this track. While the spinners are likely to get some turn off the surface, the pacers’ bowl will stop at the batters. Hence, the shot-making will be difficult. The batting might get easier under the lights; therefore, the team winning the toss might opt to bowl first.
