Preview:

New Zealand will go head-to-head against Bangladesh in the 5th match of the series. Kiwis had a better off Bangla Tigers by 8 wickets when they met earlier in the series. They didn’t get a flying start as they lost to Pakistan by 6 wickets in their opening fixture and transformed themselves completely by winning back-to-back matches. Now they moved to the top of the standings with 4 points. They were spot on with the ball in the last game against Pakistan where they didn’t concede a six. Finn Allen who was short of runs in the first two matches returned to the form with a blistering 62 runs and ever-reliable Devon Conway continues his red-hot form. Win here will hand them a spot in the finals.

Bangladesh’s preparations for the upcoming T20 World Cup aren’t going in the right direction as they are struggling to get off the mark in this series. Batting has been their main area of concern and needs to address the issue as they are failing to score big runs. It was a bit strange when Shakib Al Hasan pushed himself down to the No.7 position in the last outing against New Zealand. It’s a do-or-die game for them to stay alive in the series, winning is not enough they need to win by bigger margin since they don’t have a healthy run rate.
