Bangladesh were thrashed in the only Twenty20 and the first ODI in Napier. After some good showing at home Bangladesh is falling apart, maybe they are finding New Zealand conditions a bit tough to handle. They need to raise their game significantly to even push the Kiwis. New Zealand on the other hand will try to test their bench strength as several of their key players are injured. It presents a good oppurtunity for Peter Ingram, Andy McKay and co.
Teams
New Zealand: (probable) 1 Brendon McCullum (wk), 2 Peter Ingram, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 James Franklin, 6 Neil Broom, 7 Jacob Oram, 8 Daniel Vettori, 9 Tim Southee/Ian Butler, 10 Daryl Tuffey, 11 Andy McKay.
Bangladesh: 1 Tamim Iqbal, 2 Imrul Kayes, 3 Mohammad Ashraful, 4 Aftab Ahmed, 5 Shakib Al Hasan (capt), 6 Mahmudullah, 7 Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), 8 Naeem Islam, 9 Shahadat Hossain, 10 Shafiul Islam, 11 Rubel Hossain.
Match Timings: Monday, February 8 ,12.00 (23.00 GMT)
