BAN vs NZ Dream11: Bangladesh and New Zealand will face each other for one last time in the series at Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka. Bangladesh have already sealed the series with a comprehensive win in the last game. This was also their first ever T20I series win over New Zealand. They may try out some new combinations keeping T20 World Cup in mind. Meanwhile, New Zealand have fought valiantly but their inexperience in these conditions have cost them. The conditions have been tough for batting and spin has dominated thoroughly. With pitch expected to favour slow bowlers, Bangladesh will start as favourites again.
