New Zealand will square off against Bangladesh in the fifth match of the ongoing Tri-series on the 12th of October in Christchurch. The hosts head into the game after thrashing Pakistan by nine wickets less than 24 hours ago. Kane Williamson's side are favorites to knock out their Asian opponents in the upcoming fixture.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh have a stiff challenge on their stands of contending with a spirited Kiwi side, who have won back-to-back games to go top of the points table. The Men in Green are winless in the series so far with their furniture hanging by the barest of margins. An unlikely win keeps them in the hunt for the finals, while a defeat will make their remaining fixture against Pakistan a dead rubber.
Pitch Conditions
While the chilly conditions in New Zealand usually assist the faster bowlers, the spinners have had a decent time playing at the surface in Christchurch. The slowers bowlers have been successful in extracting a fair amount of grip and have troubled the batters. The team batting second has won the last three out of four matches played at the venue.
