It’s been more than 40 years since Bangladesh played against New Zealand for the first time in ODI cricket. Back then, Bangladesh were a no challenge to the Kiwis.
But now they have come a long way, engaging in some close-fought matches against the Kiwis. Both teams have faced each other several times, with New Zealand having a clear edge over the Bangla Tigers.
On that note, let’s take a look at the head-to-head record between Bangladesh and New Zealand in ODIs.
