If the Bangladesh team can provide a target of more than 250 on this pitch then they will definitely win. The pitch is completely bowling friendly. And it is very difficult to collect runs on this kind of pitch. In the first innings we saw that the performance of the batsmen of both the teams was very poor. They can't play well. Batting on this pitch will be more difficult in the second innings. If Bangladesh can provide a target like 200-220 I think it will be enough to win. Because two Bangladeshi spinners Miraz and Taijul are in very good form now. Like the first match, I expect Bangladesh to win this match as well.
You guys are forgetting how Bangladesh folded within 175 runs in the first innings implying that the game would be open for both teams if rain stops interfering completely in my honest opinion.

A draw would be favorable for Bangladesh helping them secure a series win which is why they probably want rain to continue interfering.

Looks like the 2nd test will end as a draw or a Bangladesh win at this rate which would help the home team win the series either way giving them much needed confidence going forward.

On the other hand, New Zealand performance continues going downhill these days which is why they need to make some urgent changes to their team lineups.
2nd day completely washed out due to rain If tomorrow no rain and match start then Bangladesh needs to takes 5 wickets early in first 2 sessions of 1st innings and then Ban team play 2nd inning very fast in last session of 3rd day and 4 day with his batting and if they set a target 250+ then declared or all out then NZ team to chase this target in last day to level this series and last day its impossible to any team play fast.
 if they dont chase then need to draw this test because to save their points in icc test championship points table and if NZ lose this match that will highly impact New Zealand in points table. Ban team will tries his best to whitewash NZ on his home if rains no more distrub.

Three days are remaining and the weather forecast is not looking that good. If New Zealand can get to a decent score, then things will get tricky for Bangladesh. Remember that their first innings score is too low and there is no chance of New Zealand following on. When they came out to bat again, especially if there is rain interruption, then Bangladesh batsmen will be in a dilemma. They need to score runs quickly, but then the pitch is not that supportive of that style of batting. And New Zealand do have some good spinners.
The way the weather conditions are so far, there may be rain till tomorrow, so if tomorrow's game is not played on the field, then the win or loss of the match for the next two days cannot be confirmed, in which case the match will be more likely to be a draw. If Bangladesh could have given a target of more than 250 runs in the first innings, then it would have been possible to defeat New Zealand if Bangladesh had set a target of 300 runs in the second innings. But if tomorrow is left out, it will be impossible to get all out in 2 innings i.e. collect 20 wickets in two days. In this case, the second test is abandoned if there is rain and if there is no rain, there is a possibility of a draw.
After first day game, if we lost another day then I have feeling result is possible because Bangladesh spinners are doing good job and after rain they take good advantage as well which will help them for more turn and problems for the New Zealand batsmen but now second Bangladesh inning is important because if they want to win this match and series by 2–0 then surely they have to give good target with quick runs and last day could be also interesting, but first we need to have how things will be gone on third day after this we can predict about result but if we have no more play or draw then still it's good for the home team.

300 is huge because after first day game I have feeling 225 to 230 is also enough for them and with this target they can win this game as well because wicket is not easy and New Zealand is already under pressure with low confidence.

Bangladesh's top order batted very poorly. The team was able to collect 172 runs due to the responsible batting of some middle order batsmen. Bangladesh team lost 4 top order wickets for only 47 runs. On the other hand, New Zealand now has 5 wickets for 55 runs. The top order of both the teams played poorly. The match was delayed due to rain today. It will be very difficult for New Zealand to collect 150 runs. It seems that the Bangladesh team will win the second test match against New Zealand as well. Bangladesh team is performing well with the opportunity of home advantage.

As a team we have to see the full team performance.. some times top order will bring alot of runs which is most time happened and some times middle order will contribute.. 172 is low score in the test but look like pitch is not good for batting because Newzealand team also facing trouble and lost 5 wickets earlier..

Daryl Mitchell and Philips are both in the crease and we have checked their performance in the world cup.. They both have a ability to long the partnership.. Bangladesh bowlers are doing great job here .. They almost the job and now Its time to complete the job fairly by picking 5 more wickets.. Bangladesh is now on the top if rain doesn't interup further days
Second day of the second test is completely stopped due to rain. If today's full day's play of this test is stopped due to rain, the next three days of the match will have to be played in two full innings. In this case, I have no other option but to abandon the second Test due to the weather conditions in Bangladesh. And if the game starts then New Zealand's next batsmen will not perform well. Because the outfield will be wet and the wicket will depend on fast balls. But there is a high possibility of abandonment due to rain.
Since yesterday the weather in Bangladesh is very bad and it has been raining since yesterday but today it was cloudy all day and it was drizzling. And the way the weather is going, it looks like this rain problem won't be solved tomorrow either.  So this game seems to be postponed tomorrow as well.  Bangladesh's performance in the second test match was also very good.  Bangladesh won the first match with New Zealand. Bangladesh are playing very well in their home ground. So there is a high chance of them winning the second match with New Zealand
Bangladesh are used to playing in their own stadium, on the other hand, their preparation for Test matches is very good, so they can play well against New Zealand.  Meanwhile, New Zealand could not bat due to rain. The target given by Bangladesh in the first innings is very small but New Zealand is losing wickets fast in this direction so it seems that New Zealand will not be able to score more runs than Bangladesh.  So of course I agree with you that New Zealand is going to lose the second match as well
Today was the second day of the Bangladesh Test, although Bangladesh could not give New Zealand a big run lead. Bangladesh were all out for just 172 runs. Due to Bangladesh's bad batting, they were all out for only 172 runs. I thought maybe New Zealand would get to 172 without losing a wicket very quickly. But Bangladesh team bowlers have done great bowling. Especially Mehdi Hasan Miraj alone took three wickets and Taijul Islam took two wickets. If it hadn't rained today maybe we could have seen some great bowling from Bangladesh. There is also doubt about whether the weather conditions will play in the field at all. Let's see if Bangladesh vs New Zealand can finally play the second Test. It remains to be seen whether the result will be declared in the law of rain.

It's high time that SENA countries also start focusing on turners in their backyard as well, that's the only way they could produce quality spinners who are disciplined enough on helpful decks and it will prepare their batters against spin, no drastic improvement in short term but they'll improve for sure. At least they won't look like a headless chicken when a ball is turning. 
SENA countries are trying their best for having turning things into their backyard, but sadly they are not able to have better results like New Zealand and South Africa are having few spinners those are having connections in subcontinent, but their quality is not like we have in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh which is surely still problem for them but as things are going hopefully we will have better results in near future because they are not going to give up with this all.

Australia is already having good spinners and their quality is also impressive, but now just England is far behind in this all, and we can expect better results from them as they are having many other issues which need to settle before having to work on spin and turning pitches at home.
In the last decade, one generation of players from the SENA countries failed to win a single series in India, things are even worse because even a draw here looks like a win. They even failed to draw any series.

The last time SA won a test match in India was way back in 2009-10 and for the Kiwis, the timeline is like 50 years back. Only Lyon can be considered a good spinner atm and i don't see anyone else in Australia and virtually no potential spinner in England. Yeah, these 2 teams might win one test here n there but most of the time everyone looks flat.

There is only 2% chance of rain tomorrow and that is excellent news for Bangladesh. Same is the case for 4th and 5th day. That means that Bangladesh has an excellent opportunity to win this series by a margin of 2-0. But I don't see much benefit from this series win for Bangladesh. They are still pathetic in SENA conditions and against pig-3 teams. And they are overdependent on a few players who are nearing retirement. Younger players are not coming through, probably due to the low quality of domestic cricket.

Both teams lost 15 wickets on the first day. Due to the loss of so many wickets, everyone is questioning the condition of the pitch. But I will say that we always know that Mirpur's pitch always helps the spinners. This is not a new phenomenon. And it will be their failure if they don't add experienced spinners to New Zealand's squad. But personally I like bowling friendly pitches in test matches. This makes the matches very competitive and exciting. It is very difficult to predict which team will win.
In February 2018, the Mirpur Sherebangla Stadium pitch received a demerit for being "below average". As much as it may seem to many that the pitch will be questionable with 15 wickets on the first day, it is not, as the ICC has so far not given any new demerit points. If it receives five demerit points, it will be different and Mirpur will be banned from the pitch for the next twelve months. The second day's match did not take place but the third day is also in doubt due to hostile weather conditions. Hopefully next day match will be made on time and Bangladesh will return to their action.

There is a match between South Africa A and West Indies A going on at Bloemfontein. South Africa looks like they are going to win the ongoing match, as West Indies need another 386 runs with 9 wickets in hand. In the first innings, West Indies was bowled out for just 126 runs. And they actually have a star studded side for this match, which includes players such as Tagenarine Chanderpaul, Joshua Da Silva, Kevin Sinclair and Jayden Seales. On the other hand, South African squad is led by Neil Brand, and only Hardus Viljoen and Duanne Olivier are known to me.

The match of Pakistan vs Prime Minister team is a very interesting match. At this time, Pakistan lead the runs, The Pakistan team captain declared the batting because almost all the people lost their wickets but Abrar Ahmed didn't get a chance to bat, Shan Masood should not have declared the batting because in this match he could have test the Abrar Ahmed batting, he is an all-rounder player so he should test the batting of Abrar Ahmed.

When Shan Masood crossed 200 runs he declared the batting, he just wanted to make 200 runs, he also dropped the record of Babar Azam's 196 runs.

Pakistan played very well in this match in batting and bowling. They played very well in both, and Shan Masood was the main in batting, and Abrar Ahmed and Khurram Shahzad were the best in bowling, Abrar Ahmed led the spinners and Khurram Shahzad attacked with pace.

Babar Azam also did bowling today but he couldn't pick a wicket but he did very good bowling, I think he should be all rounder, Most of people don't know that when Babar Azam initially came to international cricket,  so he was a spinner but slowly he converted him to Batsmen and now we can only see his bowling only on test cricket.

I was very hopeful to witness some Kiwi collapse, with some wishful thinking followed by Bangbros collapse but bummer rain spoiled all the fun.

We were already losing 8-10 overs every day, considering the daylight drama in this series so rainy moments are not helping anyone. Hope the weather forecast is alright in the coming days, don't want to see a draw on a spicy pitch.
I don't think it will be this spicy pitch anymore, this time the rain will wash away the spiciness. In the weather report, I saw that cyclone Migzoum has hit India and its impact is falling as low pressure in some South Asian countries, in this case Bangladesh is also included. According to the weather report, this low pressure is not going to go away anytime soon so I think this match will be a draw in the end.
Covering the pitch for a long time during rain does a lot of things except opening cracks because it needs sunlight so there might be some possibility of the pitch becoming a little bit flat, not completely tho because the pitch had enough juice in it.

It depends on the soil as well. Sometimes it could open new possibilities for seamers, if not for spinners. Fingers crossed for the forecast.

Sarfraz Ahmed plays like a T20 or One day, if he makes the same runs in the same balls butt in the ODI format so we can say that he played very well, he is not a test layer he is an ODI or T20 format player, Just imagine this is a test and with test mindset he made 41 runs in 47 balls so just imagine if they had T20 mindset so what he can do.
Pakistan batted first in the match between Prime Minister's XI vs Pakistan.But in this match I found one person's batting amazing that is Sarfraz Ahmed he batted in ODI style.Sarfraz Ahmed scored 41 runs off 47 balls.
Pakistan scored 391 runs against Prime Minister XI but the biggest role behind Pakistan's 391 runs was San Masood who played an epic innings of 200 runs off 298 balls.

No batsman played half century for his country ,Shahadat Hussain made 31 runs .This is low scoring match and New Zealand 5 batsmans are in pavilion and New Zealand score is only 55 . From Bangladeshi bowling side , Mehidy took 3 Wickets. New Zealand bowlers also played well because that is bowling pitch.
