Bangladesh and New Zealand will face each other in the third ODI at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur on September 26.

Bangladesh will face New Zealand in the final ODI to level the three-match series. The match will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on September 26.

Bangladesh will be disappointed with how they performed in the second ODI against New Zealand. They bowled well at times but were far from consistent. As a result, they conceded 254 runs, which was an above-average score on the wicket. The team was then bowled out for 168 points.

New Zealand, on the other hand, will be happy with the win but also know that they are by no means a reckless team. Henry Nicholls and Tom Blundell scored a few runs for the team and later Ish Sodhi took them to over 250. However, they could have easily reached 200 and then it would have been a different story. New Zealand have a decent bowling attack and can defend the target, but if they win the third ODI, runs should come from the top order.

Match Preview

New Zealand (NZ) sent a second team to play the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh (BAN). The “Bangla Tigers” also gave some of their regular players a break. After the first ODI ended without a result, the Kiwis emerged victorious by 86 runs in the second match on Saturday. New Zealand lead the series 1-0 with the final match to be played on Tuesday, September 26 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Mirpur.

The Bangla Tigers have made some changes to their squad for the third ODI, with the fit-again Najmul Hossain Shanto taking over the captaincy from Litton Das. The wicketkeeper-batsman was rested for the final game along with Tamim Iqbal and Mustafizur Rahman. Players like Taskin Ahmed, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Shoriful Islam have returned to the team to get some playing time ahead of the ODI World Cup that begins next month.

For the Blackcaps, Henry Nicholls was one of the runs as he scored scores of 44 and 49 in the two games. He will try to score a big goal in the decisive final. Ish Sodhi was phenomenal in the second ODI as he took a career-best performance of 6/39 in 10 overs. He will hold the key in the middle overs.

Bangladesh Key Players

Mehidy Hasan – Mehidy will provide a lot of balance. He is someone who can bat and score runs at any position. Also, his 10 overs will be crucial for the team.

Nasum Ahmed – Nasum has caused problems for the Kiwi batters in both games of the series. He made the ball turn square and the New Zealand batsmen had no idea about him. Another good show from the spinner is expected.

New Zealand Key Players

Tom Blundell – Blundell also played a confident knock of 69 in the second ODI. He is good against both spinners and pacers so expect good runs from him.

Ish Sodhi – Sodhi single-handedly won the game for New Zealand. He took six wickets and also scored a crucial 35 runs. Another good show is expected from him.
