Match Details
BAN vs NZ, 4th T20I
Date and Time: 8th September, 3:30 PM IST
Venue: Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Dhaka
Pitch Report
As has been the theme in the series, a relatively low-scoring game beckons in Dhaka with spin expected to play a big role. The batsmen will look to play their shots early on, but the ball should turn from ball one. Change of pace will be the go-to option for the pacers, who will need to be clever with their lines and lengths. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 140 being a good total at the venue.
Today’s BAN vs NZ Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Tom Latham: Despite a failure to score runs in the previous game, Tom Latham's experience and ability to keep the scoreboard ticking against spin are viable assets for the New Zealand team. Although Bangaldesh's Mushfiqur Rahim is a fine option himself, Latham's form should give him the nod for this game.
Batsman
Finn Allen: Finn Allen showed glimpses of his attacking prowess in the previous game as he hit a couple of boundaries before perishing to Mustafizur Rahman. With the powerplay overs likely to be the deciding factor, one can bank on Allen to come up with the goods yet again.
All-rounder
Shakib Al Hasan: Shakib Al Hasan had a rare off-day in the previous game as he neither picked up a wicket nor scored a run. He will be itching to get back amongst the runs and wickets in today's fixture. Given the nature of the pitch, he is a must-have in your BAN vs NZ Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Mustafizur Rahman: Mustafizur Rahman was impressive in the previous game as he picked up a couple of wickets with his variations. With the pitch likely to bare a similar look, Mustafizur should pick up a wicket or two in today's game as well.
