Bangladesh will look to give a better performance in their next match against New Zealand and will look at it positively, as the pitch of Chennai will assist spinners more, and Bangladesh has lots of quality spinners.

2- Mehidy Hasan Miraz did not have a great match against England as he failed to take a single wicket and scored just eight runs. He scored 223 runs in the last seven matches with an average of 37.17 and will have assistance for his bowling style in the next match against New Zealand.
