This is a lame theory now, New Zealand was over confident that they sent a weak team, when Australia toured Bangladesh this year and not that long ago in August, they had the same fate as they struggled miserably against Bangladesh and you think that the New Zealand selectors were sleeping when that happened Grin

.

New Zealand sent the best team possible and they struggled against Bangladesh and full credits to Bangladesh for showcasing that kind of dominant performance rather than sugar coating the pathetic performance of New Zealand by saying they were overconfident in sending a weak team Tongue

.

The excuse being given is that they wanted to give chances to a few youngsters before the squad for T20 world cup is announced. But if backfired on them. There is no issue in giving chances to younger players, but that doesn't mean that they should be used as cannon fodder. One thing that surprises me is that hardly any of the visiting teams are playing warmup matches nowadays. Is this due to COVID restrictions? It takes some time for the players to get adjusted to the conditions, and for that warmup matches are required.

This is just a practice tournament. Do not get over excited with this win. The main match will happen when the T20 world cup will commence. If Bangladesh can perform the same way that they have with Australia and New Zealand then they will be a team to reckon in this Worldcup. Btw, amazing performance by the Bangladesh team.
