Our Tipster’s Angle

Despite Bangladesh winning the five-match T20I series, the dead rubber is certainly going to another exciting contest between both sides.

The home team registered victories in the first, second and fourth T20I by 7 wickets, 4 runs and 6 wickets, whereas New Zealand secured a comprehensive win in the third game of the T20I series.

For the visitors, skipper Tom Latham will be hoping that experienced players can deliver the goods in this final game and end their tour on a winning note.

Therefore, the prediction is for Bangladesh to beat New Zealand in the fifth game of the T20I series.

Tip 1- Liton Das desperate to end his run drought

On pitches that have been sluggish in nature, Captain Liton Das has struggled to deliver decent scores in this T20I series. The right-handed batsman has scored only 55 runs in four games played against New Zealand.

Given his splendid performances in the past for Bangladesh, we expect opener Liton Das to come score 20 runs or more in this series [email protected].

Tip 2- Mustafizur Rahman has shown excellent form with the ball

Left-arm orthodox spinner, Mustafizur Rahman has been exceptional with the ball in the four matches played against New Zealand. The 26-year old has been a premier performer with the ball in hand for Bangladesh in the shortest format of the game. With eight wickets at an economy rate of 6.14, we can expect pacer Mustafizur Rahman to pick one wicket or more in this series [email protected]
