Bangladesh ODI skipper Tamim Iqbal was optimistic to break the New Zealand jinx this time around as Tigers left Dhaka on Tuesday for New Zealand for a six-week tour, which starts with a long quarantine, followed by three ODIs and three T20Is.

 Bangladesh have earlier lost all their 13 ODIs and four Twenty20 internationals against the Kiwis in New Zealand.
 
This will be also Bangladesh’s first tour in New Zealand following the Christchurch terror attack on March 15, 2019, where the team narrowly escaped the gunman who targeted two mosques in the city and killed 51 people.
