Bangladesh have the
chance to be a top five ranked team in the T20 International cricket if they
can sweep the upcoming five-match series against New Zealand at home next
month.
A 5-0 result will see
Bangladesh leapfrog the teams like South and Australia.
Bangladesh's current
ranking in T20 is 10 with 234 rating points. The five-match T20 International
series against New Zealand will begin on September 1 and the next four matches
are scheduled to be held on September 3, 5, 8 and 10.
All matches will be
played at 4 pm at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.
Bangladesh are now high
on confidence following their 4-1 series win over Australia at home. If
Bangladesh win the series against New Zealand by the same margin (4-1), they
will rise to sixth in the ICC T20 rankings and the rating points will be 244.
But if the Tigers want to be one of the top five teams in the rankings, they
must whitewash New Zealand. If the result is 5-0 for Bangladesh, their rating
points will be 248.
Besides, even if
Bangladesh win the series 3-2, they will be the sixth ranked team with 241
rating points.
This will be Black Caps
first tour in Bangladesh since 2013. The two teams have played only one T20
here in Bangladesh. In that match held in Mirpur in 2013, Bangladesh lost by 15
runs.
Bangladesh have played
10 Twenty20 matches against Kiwis and lost every match. This time it remains to
be seen whether Bangladesh can end the win drought. The New Zealand cricket
team will arrive in Dhaka on August 24. They will stay in a room quarantine for
three days in the hotel before starting their practice session.
Meanwhile, two Kiwi
cricketers Colin D Grandhome and Finn Allen have arrived in Dhaka. The two
cricketers were playing the Hundred in England but as the series approaches
fast, they head to Bangladesh straight from England instead of going to New
Zealand first.
