All done. New Zealand dismantled by Taijul Islam (6 wickets for 75 runs). Only Daryl Mitchell could put up any sort of resistance in the 4th innings, although Ish Sodhi and Tim Southee added a few runs towards the end. Next match will start on 6th December and will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur (another ground that offers a lot of support for the spinners). New Zealand need to make necessary changes in team selection. Sodhi and Ajaz Patel are not doing their job and I will be surprised if they are included in the playing XI again.
Bangladesh batting surprises me in this match which was really impressive with no Tamim and Shakib they were really impressive against New Zealand which having good experienced bowling unit led by Tim Southee with Tajul is also doing good work and having good partners as well which is good sign for the Bangladesh team but still they need to work on many things if they want to keep this momentum in future as well.
New Zealand having good spinners but still they were not good as we have Bangladesh spinners in this match Ajaz Patel and Ish Sodhi bot completely fail to give any positive impression even Ajaz Patel already done good job against Pakistan and India, but now his magic is not working here which is surprising.
op I agree with you. Because we saw the batting disaster of 2023 World Cup Bangladesh. We thought that maybe Bangladesh team can never go ahead without Shakib Tamim. However, Bangladesh's two key batsmen are missing from the current squad due to injuries. Under the leadership of the new captain Nazmul Hasan Shantar, the way Bangladesh batted is truly remarkable. Players will retire over time. So we have to trust the youth. Youngsters know that playing well can take the cricket team forward. Bangladesh team won by 150 runs against New Zealand in the first test with excellent performance of Bangladesh team at Zahoor Ahmed Stadium in Chittagong. The second test will be held in Dhaka Mirpur, of course we want Bangladesh team to bat and bowl well in the second test. Bangladesh team won the second test match against New Zealand Then this will be the first test series win for Bangladesh against New Zealand.
