The five match ODI series between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lewis-c72807 method. Bangladeshi’s win over Kiwis has set up the series nicely.
Whenever, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bengal-c771 tigers are to play a cricket match against any of the quality teams, it is anticipated before the contest that Bangladesh will be on the losing side of the game. At Mirpur, Bangladesh added a different flavour to their game by trouncing the discipline Kiwi side.
Bangladesh is an underrated team. It is because of the unpredictability and inconsistency that the side tolerates. It is though, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Young-c41367 team that lacks mental maturity. Match awareness is another factor in which they are far behind. Nonetheless, Bengal tigers are a bunch of talented individuals. It is their sheer ability and natural talent, which can be surprising for their opponents.
An individual, with his skill level, often produces a match winning performance for his team. It was seen in the first ODI of the series between Bangladesh and New Zealand. Shakib al Hassan, the Bangladeshi all-rounder produced a match stealing all-round performance of 58 and 4/41. The all-rounder single handily changed the fate of the game in favour of his team to set the tone for the upcoming ODIs of the series.
New Zealand will be fully aware of the potential that their current opponent posses. Not, only Shakib, but there are few others as well to watch out for.
Shakib al Hassan
He is the best all-rounder in the team, and one of the best in the world. Currently, in ICC rankings of all-rounder’s, he stands at number 3 in Tests, and 2nd in ODIs. He has been one the most consistent players in the team of unpredictable nature. His ODI record suggests his consistency in the game.

Daniel Vettori, the Kiwi captain also suggested the threat that Shakib posses with his all-round ability to win a match for his country. Shakib complemented Vettori with his scintillating all-round performance in the first ODI, by taking four crucial wickets and scoring a stunning fifty. He is the one player to watch out in the next four matches of the series.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahriar-Nafees-c2486
An aggressive left hand batsman with a wide range of shorts, Shahriar Nafees is an opener, capable of giving his team brisk starts early on in the innings. In the absence of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Tamim-Iqbal-c2640, he is their only hope to give them a quick beginning to give an early boost to the final total.
Shahriar hasn’t done badly in ODIs. He has piled up 1892 runs in 61 matches at an impressive average of 33. His tally of runs includes 4 centuries. Currently, in the first ODI of the series he started the innings in an aggressive manner, scoring 35 runs of 38 balls. Nafees has shown his intent and role in team that is to give them quick starts.
He is going to be one of the star performers in the remaining matches of the series. New Zealanders will be wary of the aggressive opener. If Shahriar clicks with the bat in the next ODI, than Kiwis will be covering for shelter.
Abdur Razzak
Another spinner from Bangladesh’s never ending battery of left arm spin. Razzak is not a big spinner of the ball, but his accuracy troubles most batsmen around the world. His straighter one and arm-ball are the hardest to pick. The left arm spinner has trapped many quality batsmen with his arm-ball. Till date, he has gathered 145 scalps in 104 matches at an average of 28.
In the first ODI, he played a crucial role by taking 1/28 in 8 overs. He only took a single wicket, but it was his control and economy rate that gave Bangladesh the edge.
He is hard to get away. He might not take many wickets but he can do the holding job with hi mean left arm spin.
