NZ vs BAN Dream11 New Zealand vs Australia 1st T20I 28 March

NZ vs BAN Dream11: After blanking the visitors 3-0 in the recently concluded ODI series, the Blackcaps will take on Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game i.e. T20Is. The first of the three-match T20I series is all set to take place at the Seddon Park in Hamilton.

Heading into the T20Is, there will be changes in the two setups. Adam Milne, Finn Allen, Todd Astle, Will Young, and Lockie Ferguson have all earned a call-up into the national side with Tim Southee captaining in the absence of injured Kane Williamson. Apart from Williamson, big names like Trent Boult, Mitchell Santner, Kyle Jamieson, Jimmy Neesham, and Tim Seifert have been rested for the series.

As far as the visitors are concerned, skipper Tamim Iqbal will be missing the series on personal grounds and middle-order batsman Mahmudullah Riyad will be leading the T20I side in his absence. With Shakib already not a part of the setup, Tamim’s exclusion is a serious headache for the team management. How will they cope up with this challenge? It remains interesting to see.
