NZ vs BAN Match Preview: 

New Zealand and Bangladesh will be up against each other in the 5th match of the T20I Tri-series at Christchurch on Wednesday, October 12

Bangladesh's performance in this series so far has not been good at all. Not a single Bangladesh batsman has played a half-century innings so far. 

Liton Das scored 35 runs in the last match and 50 runs altogether in two matches played so far in the series. 

On the other hand, Yasir Ali has 49 runs in his name in two matches. In the last match, he played brilliant innings of 42 runs in 21 balls. 

Mehdi Hassan and Mosaddek Hossain have been seen struggling in the series. In such a situation, both these batsmen will have to bear the responsibility of scoring runs.

Bangladesh's bowling has also failed to impress. Taskin Ahmad and Hasan Mahmood have taken two wickets each for the team.  Shorful Islam, Nassam Aham, and Mehdi Hasan got one wicket each. 

The team's star bowler Mustafizur Rahman proved to be very expensive against Pakistan. This left-arm bowler conceded 48 runs in 4 overs without any success.

New Zealand batsmen, especially Devon Conway in form, have been the team's most successful batter. The left-handed batsman has so far scored 155 runs in three matches. 

Finn Allen has also scored 91 runs to date. At the same time, a total of 70 runs have come off the bat of captain Kane. The explosive batsman Glenn Phillips has scored 41 runs in three matches at a strike rate of 157.69.

Talking about the bowling of the Kiwi team, experienced bowler Tim Southee has proved to be the most successful bowler. He has taken 5 wickets in 3 matches. Young all-rounder Michael Bracewell has taken 4 wickets in 3 matches while losing just 31 runs. 

Star bowler Trent Boult (2 matches) and spinner Ish Sodhi (3 matches) have taken 3 wickets each.

The fifth match of the series is crucial for Bangladesh, as the defeat will pull them out of the series.
