New Zealand vs Bangladesh on March 16

It’s a one-sided affair between New Zealand and Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh came to New Zealand with an opportunity to win their first ever game in New Zealand, the hosts have been relentless and has won every single game in the tour. After a 3-0 sweep of the ODI series, New Zealand have won consecutive test match by an innings and look set to complete a Test whitewash. Bangladesh however will look to finish the tour on a high and will be desperate for a win when they take on the Black Caps at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Cricbattle Fantasy Cricket players have a good opportunity if they get their selection right as both teams will have no pressure to win the game and could see a very open game on Saturday. New Zealand will look at rotating their squad after winning the Test series. With a busy summer of cricket approaching, players will keen to have some rest and may sit out of the 3rd Test. Bangladesh on the other hand have nothing to lose and after losing practically every match of the tour, they will look to go out on a high and could sport a highly competitive side.

Best economical pick – A bowler who looked like troubling the mighty New Zealand batting attack, the young pacer had a decent series so far. Abu Jayed could have a big role in the third Test match mainly due to the pace he has in his arsenal.

Top captains & vice captains – With a double century in New Zealand’s only innings, Ross Taylor proved why he’s still one of the most important players in the New Zealand squad. Taylor‘s ability to adapt makes him a very smart pick for your team.

If Bangladesh are to pull one back in the series, some of their senior players need to step up, one among them is the skipper, Mahmudullah. The middle-order batsman is a great pick due to his ability of stabilizing an innings and he could get a lot of points for your Cricbattle fantasy team.

Smart pick – With nine wickets in the last test match, Neil Wagner is undoubtedly a player in fine-form. While his four wickets in the first innings was impressive, he emulated that performance with a five-fer in the second innings to top off a really good test match for Wagner.

Cautions Pick – New Zealand’s regular skipper Kane Williamson did not field in Bangladesh’s second innings in Wellington when Tim Southee led the side. Williamson likely to miss the third Test. Williamson had a good game with the bat although with discomfort, scoring 74 runs, and also helped his team win the series. But his injury led to a tear in the left pectoral muscle in his shoulder.

My XI – Ross Taylor (Captain), Mahmudullah (Vice-Captain), Abu Jayed, Trent Boult, Neil Wagner, Tamim Iqbal, Henry Nicholls, BJ Watling, Jeet Raval, Tom Latham, Mominul Haque
