BAN vs NZ Preview

Tamim Iqbal returned for Bangladesh but he could not get any time to spend in the middle as the rain didn’t allow the home side to bat. Bangladesh won the toss and asked the Kiwis to bat first and they soon rattled the visitors to reduce them to 136/5 in 33.4 overs when rain played the spoilsport.

Now, both sides will hope that rain stays away from this fixture. Bangladesh and New Zealand will be eager to play a full game here as the winner will now take an unassailable lead in the three-match series.

The surface is sluggish and the ball will stop at the batters. The pacers can trouble the batters with their pace variations and the spinners will get turn. Meanwhile, the batting might get easier under the lights, hence, the team winning the toss might invite the opposition to bat first.

Who will win today match between Bangladesh and New Zealand?

Bangladesh have been a tough nut to crack in their home conditions. Furthermore, they have many experienced players in their squad and their spin-bowling attack is troubling the opposition for fun. While New Zealand have a fierce pace attack, their batting does not have much experience of playing in spin-friendly conditions. As per our prediction, Bangladesh are expected to win this game.

BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction

Wicket-keepers: L Das

Batsmen: Mahmudullah, T Iqbal, W Young, H Nicholls

All-rounder: M Hasan, R Ravindra (VC)

Bowlers: T Boult, I Sodhi, M Rahman (C), N Ahmed

Who are Best Captain Options for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Team

For Small League, Head to Head contest: Mustafizur Rahman and Rachin Ravindra are the safest captaincy bets in this game.

For Grand League, Mega Contest: Nasum Ahmed and Trent Boult could be the right choice for the captaincy picks in the GLs.

What are BAN vs NZ Fantasy Tips?

• Do not miss out on spin-bowling all-rounders from Bangladesh as they could fetch you a lot of points on the spin-friendly wicket.
• Try Ish Sodhi as a captain in one of your GL teams and make Rachin Ravindra vice-captain of the same team. It would maximise the situation if New Zealand spun Bangladesh into the tweakers trap.
