Cricket Prediction | New Zealand vs Bangladesh | 3rd ODI | Dec 23 – Will Bangladesh save them from the whitewash.

NZ vs BAN Match Analysis

This ODI series finale between Bangladesh and New Zealand takes place in Napier on Saturday. After the hosts won the first two games, the series was already determined, and they will now aim for a clean sweep and a 3-0 final score. At 11:00 local time, the third ODI begins at McLean Park.

In the second ODI, New Zealand managed to reach their target of 292 with nearly four overs remaining, thus their hitters were never forced to use needless attacking strokes. Throughout this series, the hosts have performed a few notches better than their rivals.

Bangladesh’s streak of defeats in this format in New Zealand was prolonged by one more game, and there is little reason to believe that they can improve in this encounter. They have been outbatted and outbowled in both of the series’ opening games.

NZ vs BAN Team Preview & Squads

New Zealand

Following Wednesday’s victory in Nelson, captain Tom Latham did not report any injuries, therefore we anticipate that the same team will be chosen for this match. After his return from the Super Smash, Finn Allen will be available, although it is unlikely that he will unseat Rachin Ravindra or Will Young in the starting lineups.

When given the chance in this format, 31-year-old Will Young never fails to achieve impressive scores. In the second ODI, he struck two sixes and eight more fours. The series began with left-handed top-order hitter Henry Nicholls hitting a duck in the first game, but on Wednesday, he hit 95 and entered the game having scored forty-plus in four straight games.

The seasoned fast bowler Adam Milne was costly in Nelson, but he still claimed a wicket and has an outstanding record against Bangladesh. Before this week, 22-year-old right-arm fast bowler William O’Rourke had never participated in an ODI. However, when he delivers his first ball in this match, he will be on a hat-trick.

Bangladesh

Najmul Hossain Shanto made two team announcements before the second ODI due to the squad’s dismal performance in New Zealand and their loss in the first match of the series. Afif Hossain and Mustafizur Rahman withdrew, although Mustafizur is expected to return for the decisive match.

Soumya Sarkar, in Nelson, the 30-year-old opener erased a dismal run of form by smashing his greatest ODI score in an innings that featured two sixes and 22 fours. Being one of the few very experienced players in the team, left-hander Mushfiqur Rahim is crucial to maintaining the highest standards. On Wednesday, he scored 45 runs off of 57 balls.

The opening bowler, Shoriful Islam, increased his already remarkable total of wickets in the second ODI. He should have lots of swings again because of the humid environment here. In the most recent game, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, an all-around bowler, was the most economical bowler for Bangladesh and one of just two attackers to bowl a maiden over.

NZ vs BAN outfield report

McLean Park, Napier

We anticipate that both captains will opt to field first in this match, given the side has won the last four One-Day Internationals at McLean Park while fielding first. Once more, all of this ODI is expected to have dry weather, despite persistently gloomy and humid circumstances. From beginning to end, the temperature will be in the mid-to low-20s.

This surface won’t have a lot of pace, and any first-inning score above 285 will be difficult to overcome in the second innings.
