New Zealand will face Bangladesh in the second Test of the two-match series at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday.
The visitors have a 1-0 lead after securing an eight-wicket win in the series opener at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui.
After suffering a shocking defeat in the series opener, the New Zealand team will come in the second Test in low confidence.
The most concerning thing for the team management would be the performance of experienced campaigners who looked short on confidence, that too against a depleted Bangladesh side who proved to be too good for the hosts in the first Test.
After securing a memorable win in the first Test, the Bangladesh team will enter the second fixture full of confidence and they are unlikely to make any significant changes in the starting XI as well.
The management will be extremely pleased with the performance of the players where the majority — despite having very little experience of playing at the highest level — showed no nerves and stick to the plan.
The home management will be hoping to see the players put in a big performance to avoid an embarrassing series defeat while playing at home.
After a horrendous performance in the first Test, the home side might make some changes in the starting XI as well.
The focus will remain on veteran batter Ross Taylor who will be playing his last Test for the Black Caps and the fans will be hoping to see him producing the goods for the national team in the whites for the one last time.
In the batting department, the Kiwis will be relying on the likes of captain Tom Latham, opener Will Young, Taylor, in-form Devon Conway and Henry Nicholls to score the bulk of the runs and give the bowlers something to bowl with.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Trent Boult, Tim Southee, Kyle Jamieson and Neil Wagner to dismantle the visitors’ batting lineup.

The coaching staff will be hoping to see the players producing similar kinds of performances which might help the side in securing a historic series win.
In the batting department, the visitors will be relying on the likes of captain Mominul Haque, veteran right-hander Mushfiqur Rahim, in-form wicketkeeper-batter Litton Das, Mahmudul Hasan Joy and Najmul Hossain Shanto to score the bulk of the runs and put the opposition under pressure.
On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Ebadot Hossain along with an off-spinner Mehidy Hasan Miraz to produce timely breakthroughs.

The wicket prepared at Hagley Oval will provide assistance to the bowlers witht the new-ball. The weather forecast for the Test match is expected to be fair with no sign of rain.
Hagley Oval in Christchurch is going to host the second and final game of the Test series between New Zealand and Bangladesh.
New Zealand have six Test matches out of nine played at Hagley Oval in Christchurch.
The side that wins the toss, would like to bowl first and restrict the opposition to lowest possible total. Average first innings score at the venue is around 280 runs
Despite all the predictions regarding the series opener, the result was the opposite as Bangladesh stunned New Zealand to take a 1-0 lead.
Even though the visitors have come out on top in the first Test, the home team still look a far formidable side on paper who are likely to make a comeback after one very poor outing.
Therefore, the prediction is for the Black Caps to secure a win and level the series.
