New Zealand vs Bangladesh Dream11 predication

New Zealand and Bangladesh will lock horns against each in their third game of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. The match is set to take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, the venue which hosted the India vs Australia encounter last Sunday (October 8).

New Zealand are sitting pretty with two wins from as many matches so far. They have put in a strong show with the bat in both their matches chasing down 283 runs against England and then posting 322 runs against the Netherlands. They will be keen on making it a hat-trick of wins in the ongoing mega event with a win over Bangladesh.

Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be looking to up the ante in their campaign as well. They are coming into this game after facing a strong England side in Dharamsala and they had also beaten Afghanistan in their opening game comfortably.

Bangladesh are certainly not the pushovers anymore especially in the ODI format and having beaten the Kiwis before at home, they will also be confident to put their best foot forward in this match.

New Zealand have no reason to change their playing XI but all eyes will be on Kane Williamson who is expected to be fit soon. However, the question is whom will he replace? The team is doing so well and with Rachin Ravindra settled at number three, it will be interesting to see the batting position of the skipper. All this only when and if he gets fit for this or upcoming World Cup fixtures.

Among others, the spin bowling department of Rachin and Mitchell Santner is performing well and they might also think of including Ish Sodhi for this game at the expense of Mark Chapman who hasn’t had much to do so far in two matches.

The pace bowling attack of Matt Henry and Trent Boult is also going its job perfectly, taking wickets and saving runs, which might even keep a fit Tim Southee out of the line-up for the rest of the tournament now.

On the other hand Bangladesh have backed Tanzid Tamim to come good at the top of the order and should continue to back him. Mehidy Hasan Miraz has been a gold dust at number three with his batting skills while he also delivers 10 overs of off-spin and take some wickets. Shakib Al Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto and Mushfiqur Rahim form the rock middle order for Bangladesh.

They might just think of adding a third spinner to their line-up with the match set to be played in Chennai. Nasum Ahmed will be in contention in that case but again either Mahmudullah or Shoriful Islam will have to be left out.

 

Pitch Report:

The pitch at the MA Chidambaram stadium is expected to provide a decent amount of support to both batters and bowlers in this game. Although the pacers have accounted for nearly 70 percent of the wickets in the last three matches, spin is likely to play a big role in this match. Dew is expected to play a role in the match at Chepauk. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with the pitch expected to slow down as the match progresses. So, spinner like Bishnoi and Piyush Chawla are going to be crucial at this pitch. The spinners can be the match-winning factor at Chennai.

The average first innings score here is 290 runs so far.

 

Weather Report:

The temperature is expected to hover around 30°C on the Friday with 71% humidity and 11 km/hr wind speed. There are no chances of rain during the match.
