New Zealand
The hosts, New Zealand as a really balanced squad with the advantage of the home turf in their favor. They lost their last test series to India and will be looking to improve their performances. After putting up a good fight in the first test against India the match resulted in a draw while in the second test the Kiwi batter failed to put runs on the board in the second innings.
Their key opener Tom Latham will be the captain of the New Zealand team in the absence of Kane Williamson. The players to watch out in this fixture will be Henry Nicholls who showed excellent grit scoring 44 Runs off 118 balls in his last match against India. Taskin Ahmed also has the right skills to perform well in this series.
It was a huge shock as Ajaz Ahmed was not picked up for the series as Wagner will replace him. There are further changes in Playing 11 as Devon Conway and Trent Boult will join the side while Kane Williamson is already out due to an elbow injury.

- Tom Latham-163 Runs in 2 Matches, 40.75 Average

Bangladesh
Bangladesh lost their last test series against Pakistan. It was a humiliating loss for Pakistan as they lost the last test with a margin of an inning and will be short of confidence for this series. Their top-order batsman Mominul Haque will lead the Bangladesh side while Shakib Al Hasan will not be available for this series due to family commitments.
They also possess talented batters like Liton Das who was the lead scorer for his side in the last series against Pakistan. Taijul Islam will play an important role to dismiss Kiwi batters. Mushfiqur Rahim is an experienced campaigner for Bangladesh as we saw a fine inning from him in the first test against Pakistan.
Bangladesh should look to provide opportunities for all the players to get acclimatized to the foreign conditions. Their squad looks well balanced, and they will look to utilize this touring game to the maximum extent. We witnessed some great bowling from Taskin Ahmed and Abu Jayed as they restricted New Zealand batters to 146 Runs in the first innings.

- Liton Das- 224 runs in 2 Matches, 56.00 Average

The surface at Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui is on the flatter side where posting big scores on board are possible. The wicket will get completely flat as the game goes on and bowling first is a good option. Given the numbers, the team choosing to bowl first has always reaped profits in the past matches.

NZ vs BAN, 1st Test Who will win the match, Today Match Prediction
New Zealand is expected to win the match against Bangladesh.
New Zealand is currently the holder of the World Test Championship mace after defeating India in the WTC Finals. They always perform exceptionally well in their home conditions and will use their key pacers as their main weapon against Bangladesh.
While the visitors will be touring without their key player, Shakib Al Hasan. In this aspect, they need credible performances from Liton Das and Mushfiqur Rahim who possess the experience required to compete against a big team like New Zealand. However, even with the exclusion of their skipper, Kane Williamson, New Zealand is still a stronger side and are clear favorites to win this match.
Popular Betting Odds for NZ vs BAN, 1st Test, Today Match Prediction, Cricket Betting Tips
Top Batsman for New Zealand- Tom Latham
Over the past couple of seasons, Latham has established himself as a promising Test opener who grinds out the new ball and sets the stage for the hard-hitters later on. He was the top-scorer in the last Test series against India where he amassed 163 Runs over the course of two Tests with an average of 40.75 He will certainly be looking to convert his starts into a big score in this fixture.
Top Batsman for Bangladesh- Liton Das
Das was turned out to be the lone warrior in the Test series against Pakistan where he scored a century and half-century in a single Test. He has amassed 1453 runs in his 27 Test matches at an average of 32.28. He played some eye-pleasing strokes fearlessly against Pakistan to contribute 263 Runs in two Test matches. Das will prove to be a key player for Bangladesh and is a must-pick given his current form in the longer format.
Top Bowler for New Zealand- Kyle Jamieson
Jamieson seemed in excellent touch with the ball in the Test series against India as he took six scalps including an impressive figure of 3/40 and was the second-highest wicket-taker for his team in the tournament. He has picked 52 wickets in 10 matches so far and will be looking to increase his tally in this contest against weaker opposition.
Top Bowler for Bangladesh- Taijul Islam
Islam is another in a long line of left-arm spinners that Bangladesh has produced. He proved his talent in the last Test series against Pakistan where he took 10 Wickets in 2 Tests with the best bowling figure of 7/116 in a single inning. While he could get some assistance with the pitch as well. He can contribute some runs as well coming lower down the order. Islam can be a good pick to give sure returns.
