PREVIEW
Today's clash in Napier is the start of a very important series for the Black Caps on multiple fronts.
For starters, they'll be wanting to bounce back after getting flogged 4-1 in their best-of-five series with India earlier this month.
But more importantly, it's the last batch of 50-over matches the Kiwi side will get before heading to the World Cup later this year.
Coach Gary Stead has tweaked his side for the series as a result, with Colin Munro dropped from the squad for the first two matches.
Martin Guptill returns to the fold after overcoming a back injury.
While selectors insist Munro is still part of the equation, Gavin Larsen says he's excited to see Guptill and Henry Nicholls team up at the top of the order.
"We're delighted to have Martin back on the park for this series; he's a world-class player and an integral part of our one-day side," Larsen said.
"He and Henry did a good job opening up in Hamilton against India and they're a combination we want to see some more of in this series."
Bangladesh enter today looking to start 2019 on a high after their 2018 ended in rough ODI and T20 series defeats to the West Indies in the Caribbean.
But it'll be tough with the experience of Shakib Al Hasan missing after the all-rounder fractured a finger while batting in the BPL earlier this month.
