Ahead of the three-match ODI series against New Zealand, Bangladesh’s head coach Russell Domnigo said he sees a great opportunity for the Tigers to beat the hosts for the first time.
The series will commence with the ODI tomorrow at Dunedin. The other ODIs will be played on March 23 and 26 at Christchurch and Wellington respectively.
“It is a great opportunity for us to do something that no Bangladeshi side has done before. We are all excited by it,” Domingo said on Thursday. “It is my first tour to New Zealand with Bangladesh. I have been here previously with South Africa. I know it’s a tough place to tour, but it is a great opportunity for some of these younger players.”
Bangladesh played a total of 35 ODIs against New Zealand and won 10 of them, but none in the soil of New Zealand where they have played 13 games ahead of this series.
Domingo believes the series against New Zealand may help the Tigers gain some confidence ahead of the World Cup 2023 in India.
