On Wednesday in Nelson, the second One-Day International (ODI) in the three-match series between Bangladesh and New Zealand will begin. Despite several weather delays, the first game was completed and New Zealand took the lead with a victory of 44 runs (DLS). 11:00 local time is when the game starts at the Saxton Oval.
In this series, New Zealand is experimenting with several new players, but they also have some more experienced players who all impressed in the first game. We anticipate the Black Caps to lead 2-0 over Bangladesh in New Zealand due to their outstanding record against them.
Even though the local team is far more suited to the conditions, Bangladesh has never defeated New Zealand in an ODI there. Their hitters will have a far greater chance of winning this game if they can convert scores in the twenties into half-centuries.
NZ vs BAN Team Preview & Squads
New Zealand
There will undoubtedly be one change to the New Zealand lineup for this encounter: Adi Ashok, who is expected to make his ODI debut, will replace Ish Sodhi, who is taking a scheduled break for the next two games of the series. Due to an injury, Kyle Jamieson will miss the remainder of the series, while Finn Allen will not be available for selection because he is competing in the Super Smash.
In the first One-Day International, Will Young, the right-handed opener, struck 14 fours and four sixes. He has a nine-inning average of 90.60 at home. The captain, Tom Latham, had been finding it difficult to score runs in this format until he struck 92 off 77 balls in Sunday’s first game of the series.
The speed bowler Adam Milne takes pleasure in bowling against Bangladesh and has an outstanding strike rate of 13.33 in one-day internationals against the Tigers this season. Josh Clarkson, 26, made a solid first appearance with the ball and scored one run before getting run out. In the opening ODI, he removed Litton Das and Anamul Haque.

Bangladesh
Bangladesh’s player, Litton Das, may move places in the batting order to take the place of the man who has battled against moving balls in New Zealand throughout his career. Following the game on Sunday, no injuries have been reported.
The left-hander Najmul Hossain Shanto, who made 15 runs on Sunday before being removed by Ish Sodhi, will be hoping to improve in this match. But he will try to exploit the fact that the opposition XI does not include Sodhi. The 29-year-old Litton Das is capable of scoring heavily in this match; he has the highest score in this format of 176. In ODIs, he averages 32.35.
In his opening over on Sunday, Shoriful Islam, a tall swing bowler with a left arm, bowled Henry Nicholls and Rachin Ravindra. In this format, he has a great record against the top tier in New Zealand. In the opening match of the series, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, a 26-year-old, not only smashed 28 runs off of 21 balls, but he also claimed the crucial wicket of Tom Latham.
