Success in ODI formats in the last four years and statistics prove that the Tigers are not minnows in the 50-over format anymore. This New Zealand series was considered as ideal preparation for the upcoming World Cup, which will start on May 30. Last time Bangladesh toured New Zealand, the Tigers also lost the series 3-0. All eyes were on Sabbir as he has been considered as an important part of the Tigers’ set-up for the World Cup. It’s a reality check for the Tigers just a few months before the World Cup.
