NZ isn't a good side anymore, there batting has been poor for awhile but now they don't have bond or martin and mills isn't in the sqaud to play BD, not sure if he's injured or been ignored or what but BD has a better pace barrage and are on par or better with the spinners, batting i'd give the edge to BD on talent. batting performance will depend on tamim, shakib, riyad mainly but hopefully the others will stand up. BD with a better pace attack and the conditions suiting the pacers should give BD the advantage, NZ batsmen will be more accustom to the conditions but really they're certainly not better batsmen than BD.
