The start of the new World Test Championship cycle begins for both teams in the unassuming surroundings of Sylhet in Bangladesh. The winners of the inaugural World Test Championship, New Zealand, will likely be among the contenders at the top of NZ betting sites to take the crown again. It is likely the last chance for this generation of Black Cap players, and they will hope a game at the batting friendly Sylhet will be just enough to get them off to a strong start.

For the Kiwis, it is their first Test match for eight months, while for Bangladesh it is their first in five months. After a sustained period of one-day international cricket being the focus ahead of the Cricket World Cup, now is the time for Tim Southee to stamp his authority on the team as the skipper leading them into the new cycle. The majority of cricket betting sites will have New Zealand as the clear favourites here as the home team are without big names such as Shakib Al Hasan and Taskin Ahmed.

New Zealand v Bangladesh Betting Tips

Kane Williamson returned from a torn ACL suffered at the IPL earlier this year to lead New Zealand to the semi-finals of the Cricket World Cup. He was in great form in the four games he played, scoring 256 runs. He also has an incredible record against Bangladesh in Test cricket with seven scores above 50 in just eight innings. He looks great value to be the top New Zealand batter in the first innings at 3/1 with William Hill.
