A beleaguered Bangladesh will be hoping for respite as they
face the risk of sliding into oblivion in international cricket. The Asian outfit
have had a tough time since their 2007 World Cup success and have had
defeats staked up against them one after the other. While there are young players
coming through the system, it goes without saying that the team is a touch below
international standards and they do have a lot of catching up to do in the times
ahead. Bangladesh's last outing against New Zealand ended in a sequence of embarrassing
defeats away from home as New Zealand scampered to two innings victory in the
test matches and a ODI romp. Since then Bangladesh have lost up against
South Africa, India and Pakistan securing a rare victory
against UAE in between. A defeat here could signal the end of Mohammad
Ashraful's stint as the captain of Bangladesh cricket team and he will be eager
to put a break to the slide with a victory against New Zealand this coming Thursday.
New Zealand on the other hand, have recovered strongly from
a battering by South Africa late last year and will be eager for some action
after a long extended break. New Zealand did trip down to England in the summer
in a mixed tour which saw them pick up victories in the ODI format only to slide
down in the test matches. New Zealand on the other hand will be hoping for performance
on the lines of their victory at home against Bangladesh eight months ago Even
though they are weakened by the absence of Stephen Fleming who has retired
from the game, the likes of Ross Taylor and Jamie How and good enough to put
up a fight against a average Bangladesh attack. New Zealand have cause to belief
that they can muster up a victory in the sub continent given their recent success
in England.. The bowling attack will depend heavily on the guile of Daniel
Vettori and the pace of Kyle Mills. With Shane Bond quitting international
cricket over a dispute with the board, much will be expected from young Kyle
Mills as New Zealand aspire to notch up a much needed series win against
their Asian rivals.
