Preview

When playing at home, Bangladesh has consistently been one of the top teams. They will be quite disappointed with their efforts in the previous ODI but would still want to prolong that streak.

Bangladesh was given the pitch after losing the toss. They had an excellent start, taking early wickets. They took up wickets at regular intervals, which prevented the Kiwi batsmen from getting off to a big start. The bowler of choice was Mehdi Hassan, who had three wickets to his credit.

With a score of 255 to chase, the batting section would have been pretty confident. They appeared to be on track to reach the target, but their middle order utterly crumbled and was dismissed for 168 runs by bowling. With 49 runs, Mahmudullah led the team in scoring.

Full Squad:

Liton Das (c), Tamim Iqbal, Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque Bijoy, Tawhid Hridoy, Mahmudullah, Nurul Hasan Sohan, Mahedi Hasan, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Zakir Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Syed Khaled Ahmed.

Players to watch out for Bangladesh vs New Zealand:

Tamim Iqbal

His first century came against Ireland, but his top-of-the-chart performance came in 2009 against Zimbabwe in Harare. When Charles Coventry matched Saeed Anwar’s ODI record score of 194, he continued to stay unbeaten. Tamim, though, mounted a vicious response and broke the previous record set by a batsman from Bangladesh. As Bangladesh went on to win the game, his 154 comprised seven fours and six sixes. Since then he has been an important part of the squad, in the last match he scored 44 runs which was the highest individual run from the Bangladeshi batting order.

Mustafizur Rahman

Bangladesh was given the pitch after losing the toss. They had an excellent start, taking early wickets. They took up wickets at regular intervals, which prevented the Kiwi batsmen from getting off to a big start. Rahman took out both the openers and had a good overall performance.

Possible Playing XI:

Tamim Iqbal, Litton Das(w/c), Tanzid Hasan, Soumya Sarkar, Mahmudullah, Towhid Hridoy, Mahedi Hasan, Khaled Ahmed, Nasum Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud

Preview

The second ODI was very important for the Kiwis since they were coming off a very poor series in England after the washed-up game in the first ODI. With the victory in the second ODI, they will be happy and eager to build on it.

After choosing to bat first after winning the toss, New Zealand didn’t have the best of beginnings, losing a lot of early wickets. The batsmen got off to a good start but were bowled out for 254 runs because they were unable to turn it into a big one. Tom Blundell led the way in runs scored with 68.

As they quickly moved through the Bangladeshi batting order, defending the objective turned out to be very simple. The team’s confidence was much boosted by their fantastic bowling performance that shut Bangla down for 168 runs. Ish Sodhi, who took 6 wickets, was the star.

Full Squad:

Lockie Ferguson (captain), Finn Allen, Tom Blundell, Trent Boult, Chad Bowes, Dane Cleaver, Dean Foxcroft, Kyle Jamieson, Cole McConchie, Adam Milne, Henry Nicholls, Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Will Young.
