BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the First T20I between Bangladesh and New Zealand. The hosts who come into this series after crushing Australia 4-1 in the T20I series in August, when their bowlers bailed out their batters more times than not. New Zealand enter this territory with very little experience in their ranks. In the absence of regular players like Kane Williamson and Martin Guptill, the onus will be on the likes of Latham, Tom Blundell, and Colin de Grandhomme to shore up the batting unit. The forecast is good and we should be in for a good game of cricket.
