New Zealand vs Bangladesh

New Zealand (Match Odds- 1.20)

Preview

In the second ODI, Bangladesh put up a strong batting effort, but New Zealand won the match rather easily. With nearly four overs remaining, Henry Nicholls hit 95 and Will Young, continuing his amazing form, smashed 89 to help chase down Bangladesh’s 291 total.

Young currently has 330 runs at an average of 55 and a strike rate of 96 in his last six games.

Rachin Ravindra (45 off 33 balls) is back among the runs, which will also cheer the Kiwis. If the gifted left-hander plays in the final ODI, we anticipate an even greater impact from him.

For the final ODI, Finn Allen will be available. Whether New Zealand brings him in immediately will be interesting to watch.

With Bangladesh batting second half of the innings, New Zealand’s bowling could have been far more effective. They were unable to control the run flow and allowed things to stray. Even so, William O’Rourke and Jacob Duffy, who each took three wickets in the previous ODI, can pose a threat to the batting lineup.

In place of Adithya Ashok for the final game, the management may try Ish Sodhi. In the middle overs, the leg-spinner can be quite useful.

Full Squad:

Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham (c), Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Tom Blundell (wk), Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, William ORourke, Ben Sears, Adithya Ashok.

Bangladesh (Match odds- 4.55)

Preview

Bangladesh, who were batting first in the second ODI, were down to 80 for 4 in the 17th over. But Mushfiqur Rahim (45 off 57 balls) and Soumya Sarkar (a career-best 169 off 151 balls) helped salvage the innings, leading the team to a respectable 291. Sadly, that ultimately proved to be insufficient.

Bangladesh’s batting lineup has been patchy, and their bowling has been dreadful. Litton Das and Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto ought to take a stand and say something. We believe that in the final game, one of these two will be crucial.

Mushfiqur Rahim is a consistent performer, so we can count on him to produce some valuable middle-order runs.

But their bowling attack has been deceptive, and flattering. While Hasan Mahmud is taking some wickets, he is finding it difficult to contain the run-flow. Shoriful Islam has played fairly well. Bangladesh hasn’t been getting any real wicket-takers, which is what they need. It could be a bit easier if Mustafizur Rahman was brought back for the last ODI.

Full Squad:

Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman, Rishad Hossain, Tanzid Hasan, Rakibul Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Head-to-Head:

In 44 ODI matches, Bangladesh and New Zealand have squared off against one another. Bangladesh has won 10 times out of these 44 games, while New Zealand has won 33 of them. One match finished with no outcome.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction:

At McLean Park in Napier, 27 of the 44 One-Day Internationals have been won by the chasing team. The team that wins the toss is therefore likely to decide to field first.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Pitch Report:

McLean Park’s pitch is thought to be batting-friendly, with some seam bowlers getting some assistance. The new ball will bounce nicely and move around a little. But it will get much easier to make strokes once the pitch settles. It is anticipated that Napier will experience mostly cloudy weather during the game.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Match Report:

During this ODI series, Bangladesh has appeared hapless. Sure, they performed better at bat in the previous game, but Soumya Sarkar was largely to blame for that. Shakib Al-Hasan, their regular captain, is sorely missed by them. Even though they are missing many of their key players, New Zealand appears far more composed and self-assured. This Bangladeshi team will need to do something very special to defeat them because they are very tough to beat at home.

New Zealand is the clear favorite to win 3-0 at the odds of 1.20.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Most Recommended Player for Bet:

Rachin Ravindra (45 off 33 balls) is back among the runs, which will also cheer the Kiwis. If the gifted left-hander plays in the final ODI, we anticipate an even greater impact from him.
