New Zealand will host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series, starting January 1 (Saturday) at the Bay Oval in Maunt Maunganui. The bilateral contests between these two sides have been completely mismatches with Bangladesh losing all their matches on away soil while New Zealand have not been a great visitor as well.

Tom Latham will be leading New Zealand in their first home Tests since winning the World Test Championship. A star-studded pace attack will be at his disposal and will like to unleash all against a weak Bangladesh batting after their series defeat in India.

The Bangla Tigers, on the other hand, have landed in New Zealand on the back of a dismal outing against Pakistan. With senior cricketers Tamim Iqbal and Shakib Al Hasan not available, Bangladesh have a lot to look for in the upcoming series.
