Bangladesh will get their tour of New Zealand underway with a T20I game against the hosts at Hamilton. 
The Bangladeshis were on a roll last year, winning their games against the listless, second-string West Indian side and then easily beating the likes of Zimbabwe. However, this year hasn’t seen them start too well. They had lost four successive ODIs to India and Sri Lanka, and then went on to be crushed by India in the two Test matches.

Playing a T20I in a country which needs adjusting to by most of the other teams means that they will struggle to get going in the series. And this is despite the fact that T20 should be their favourite format of the game!

New Zealand, on the other hand, will depend on their swing bowlers to get the inexperienced Bangladeshi batsmen in knots. It is a matter of how well the Kiwis bowl that could almost decide this game, as a few quick early wickets could seal the game for the visitors.
Bwin offers 1.25 for the hosts to start off the tour with a win. Interestingly, Stan James also believes that it will be difficult for the visitors to win here, giving the punters 4 if they bet on a winning Bangladeshi side. Personally, given the format of the game, and a slightly up and down nature of the Kiwis, I would be tempted to put some money on the Bangladeshi side!
