1. Shakib Al-Hasan vs Ross Taylor

Shakib Al-Hasan is a crafty spinner in Bangladesh’s lineup and given the form that he is in, it will be interesting to see how does he takes the African batting lineup head on. There are strong chances that Shakib will be bowling at the top of the order. Even if he doesn’t, it will be interesting to see one of the best players of spin, Ross Taylor, trying to score runs against Shakib.

2. Tamim Iqbal vs Trent Boult

The best bowler of New Zealand’s team, Trent Boult, will try every trick in his hat to send Bangladesh’s one of the finest, Tamim Iqbal, back in the hut at the earliest. Tamim is a dynamic left-hand batsman who can rip apart any bowling attack on his given day. If he gets going initially, it will give Bangladesh the much-needed platform to attack later on. Hence, the battle between Boult vs Iqbal will be exciting to watch given the conditions at the venue. BAN vs NZ Head-to-Head Record: Ahead of ICC CWC 2019 Clash, Here Are Match Results of Last 5 Bangladesh vs New Zealand Encounters!

3. Martin Guptill vs Mustafizur Rahman

If New Zealand have Trent Boult in their arsenal, Bangladesh has Mustafizur Rahman. Though, not as effective as Boult, Mustafizzur has the ability to run-through any batting order on his day. ‘Fizz’, as he is fondly called by his fans, would be eyeing to remove Guptill early in the innings, for the more he stays, the lesser the chances will be for Bangladesh to win the match. The left-hand bowling vs right-hand batting battle between the two will be an interesting sight for the fans.
