DHAKA: Bangladesh will face New Zealand in their second and last match of the Test series in Dhaka on Monday.

The match will start at 9:30am at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium.

Earlier, the first Test between Bangladesh and New Zealand ended in a draw in Chittagong.

Bangladesh scored 173 for 3 in 48.2 over in their second innings at at Jahur Ahmed Stadium in Chittagong.

Bangladesh, with eight defeats in their past 12 matches, are rooted at rock bottom in the international rankings below Zimbabwe, with New Zealand just one place above them in eighth place.

New Zealand batsman Peter Fulton said the pitch at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium could favour the spinners.

"It looks very dry, not a lot of grass on it. It is similar to the Chittagong game, preparing it to be low and slow," he said. "The wicket may turn more than it did in Chittagong. We are preparing for every scenario."

The Test series will be followed by three one-day Internationals and a Twenty20 International.

Mushfiqur Rahim (Captain), Mahmud Ullah (Vice Captain), Anamul Haque, Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Nasir Hossain, Abdur Razzak, Sohag Gazi, Rubel Hossain, Muminul Hoque, Marshall Ayub, Robiul Islam, Naeem Islam, Al Amin Hossain
