In March 2021, Bangladesh and New Zealand are geared up to captivate cricket enthusiasts with an exhilarating series comprising One Day Internationals (ODIs) and T20 Internationals.

This limited-overs spectacle will unfold amidst New Zealand’s trademark home settings, characterized by their formidable winds, breezy weather, and compact boundaries flanking the wicket on both sides.

In a combined tally of 67 matches, including 14 Tests, 38 ODIs, and 15 T20Is featuring these two teams, Bangladesh has recorded just 14 victories, suffered 53 defeats, and managed no draws.

It took them a substantial 18 years to clinch their maiden victory since their very first international clash against New Zealand. Despite engaging in over a dozen Test matches, they have yet to overcome the inaugural World Test Championship champions.
