BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, 1st Test: Najmul Hossain Shanto’s Bangladesh team is all set to compete against Tim Southee-led New Zealand in the first Test match of the two-match series at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium in Sylhet, starting from November 28. The match can also mark the return of star batter Kane Williamson in red-ball cricket after being away due to an injury. This is the first time both teams will be returning to action after the recently concluded ICC ODI World Cup 2023. The Black Caps made it into the top four. However, despite not making it into the semis, Bangladesh would be happy that they managed to ensure their spot in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Bangladesh and New Zealand have faced each other 17 times in Test cricket. In the 17 times, the two sides have faced each other, Bangladesh have been victorious only 1 time and the Black Caps have won 13 games with three games ending in no result.
