Analysis:
New Zealand will be without the services of their skipper Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor. Taylor suffered a small tear in his left hamstring and Williamson was unavailable for the series. This certainly will be a huge blow to the Black Caps but simultaneously will be a good opportunity for the youngsters to grab opportunities. They have been in exceptional form in T20 cricket, except the 0-5 loss at home against India in 2020.
Led by southpaw Tamim Iqbal, Bangladesh will be eager to change their fortunes this time. They will be without the services of their star-all rounder Shakib-al-Hasan, who welcomed his third child. They have some good players in their roster and it will be interesting to see how the likes of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah continue their good form. The team had recently whitewashed West Indies at home in the ODI format.
