NZ vs BAN 1st ODI Dream11 Prediction

New Zealand and Bangladesh have played a lot of cricket against each other recently. The two teams locked horns in a 3-match ODI series in Bangladesh before the ODI World Cup 2023. The Kiwis won that series 2-0. After the World Cup, both teams met in the two-match Test series hosted by Bangladesh. That series ended with a scoreline of 1-1.

Now, the Bangladeshi Tigers will square off against the Kiwis in New Zealand. The home side will be looking to test their bench strength, while the visitors will be keen to prove themselves on the foreign soil as well.

University Oval Pitch Report

It is a good surface to bat on as the ball will come nicely on to the bat. The boundaries are not that big and the outfield is fast. However, the pacers will also get some seam movement with the new ball, while they will also enjoy the extra pace and bounce here.

Last result at the venue

Bangladesh (131/10 in 41.5 overs) lost to New Zealand (132/2 in 21.2 overs) by 8 wickets – 20 March 2021
