NZ Key Players:
Martin Guptill:
Guptill is a clean striker of a cricket ball. He was New Zealand’s leading run-scorer in the T20I series against Australia and would look to replicate his performance.
Devon Conway:
Conway has been in red hot form. He was the second leading run-scorer of the Super mash, had a decent T20I series and against Australia, and fetched his maiden hundred in his 3rd ODI. He can be backed to come good in the 1st T20I.

Daryl Mitchell:
He’s a quality all-rounder and has been in brilliant form in the last two months. He stroked a 100 in the last match. He’s a very handy pacer too.

BAN Key Players:
Mahmudullah:
Mahmudullah is one of the most experienced Bangladesh batsmen and has a decent record in T20Is. In the absence of Tamim, he'll be Bangladesh's biggest hope.
Mohammed Mithun:
Mithun batted well in the ODI series and even scored a 50 in the second game. Bangladesh fans will expect a decent performance from him.

Mustafizur Rahman:
He is a canny bowler with a lot of variations. He can be difficult to take away for runs.

Team Forms:
NZ Team Form:
New Zealand played Australia in a 5 match T20I series prior to the Bangladesh assignment. They won the first two games but lost the next two to level the series. New Zealand defeated Australia in the final to clinch the series 3-2.
BAN Team Form:
Bangladesh hasn’t played a T20I series March 2020 where they defeated Zimbabwe 2-0. Their squad is pretty much the same as ODIs and the form of the players will be a cause of concern.
