Anything will be a bonus for New Zealand. Remember that they sent such a young team to Bangladesh, and they got whacked in the first two matches. But they came back strongly in the third match, with the Kiwi spinners routing the much more experienced Bangladeshi batsmen. If they could make it 2-2, then it will be some sort of an achievement.

New Zealand is experimenting with the players and giving youngsters the opportunity but it is hard for anyone to bat in pitches like these. The positive aspect is that the New Zealand spinners are taking this opportunity and since the World Cup is played in UAE the spinners will get a chance to play.

And in all probability, it will give a big boost for New Zealand ahead of the T20 World Cup. Also, it needs to be remembered that Bangladesh needs to play the qualifier stage, while New Zealand goes directly to the main stage of the world cup.

Bangladesh will easily qualify as the match is played in spin friendly pitches in the UAE. The main issue is see with New Zealand is that their main players are rested and they cannot come out and play well without any match practice.
