Pre-Match Analysis:
New Zealand are putting up an excellent exhibition of batting at the moment as a result already sealed the series 2-0 with a game in hand. They went 1-0 up with 44 runs win (D/L method) in the rain-marred 1st ODI and extended their winning momentum into the 2nd game with yet another eye-catching batting show where Will Young and Henry Nicholls missed out on well-deserved centuries by 11 and 5 runs respectively. Rachin Ravindra who garnered attention in the World Cup held in the sub-continent played splendidly for his 45. Earlier inexperienced bowling line-up has to take some treatment from the visiting Bangla Tigers conceding 291 runs. Finn Allen will be available for selection after missing the 2nd ODI to participate in the Super Smash T20 for Auckland Aces.
Bangladesh has come a long way with their batting performances however their bowlers aren’t doing well which is hurting them. The batters have done their job in the series scoring 200 and 291 in the 1st and 2nd ODI respectively where the bowlers failed to make their mark whenever needed. Soumya Sarkar played the innings of his life and registered the 2nd best individual score of 169 for Bangladesh in the ODIs. They never won an ODI against New Zealand in New Zealand and it’s a good opportunity for them to create a history that will bring down the margin of loss to 2-1.
