New Zealand and Bangladesh face off in the first of the two test series here in Chittagong tomorrow.Generally a spinner friendly track ,Black caps skipper Daniel Vettori would fancy his team's chances as he along with Jeetan Patel form a formidable spin duo against Bangladesh.
Bangladesh on the other hand would seriously want to prove that it is worthy of being a test team.It has not beaten a test team and would desperately want to win a test match on home soil.
After having upset New Zealand in the first one dayer they would want to repeat the act in the first test starting tomorrow.The fact that New Zealand are ranked just a couple of places higher than them, they would feel this is their best chance at home.Inspite of lot of their players joining the rebel Icl they still put up a good fight in the one day series Hope they do the same in the test series as well.
