BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For 3rd T20I

BAN vs NZ Match Preview

The three-match T20I series between New Zealand and Bangladesh concludes on New Year’s Eve at Mount Maunganui’s Bay Oval. The visitors are 1-0 up after winning the first match in Napier before the second T20I ended in a no-result after only 11 overs were completed. The conditions for Sunday’s game appear to favor swing bowlers, and New Zealand has a strong group of players ready to capitalize. It would be surprising if the hosts were unable to bring the series to a close. In some ways, Bangladesh has an advantage in that their bowlers have already played on this pitch. They will be eager to get going again in this match. This will be a difficult end to the tour, but the squad will be confident going into this game.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Daryl Mitchell- the tall right-handed batter who will be with Chennai Super Kings in next year’s IPL will be the wicket which all Bangladesh bowlers will want to take in this game.
• Tim Southee- the experienced swing bowler made his T20I debut back in February 2008 and he is always well equipped to take advantage of humid conditions.

BAN vs NZ Probable Winners:

With the match called off early on Friday due to inclement weather, New Zealand can no longer win the series, and their priority will now be to avoid an embarrassing home series defeat to Bangladesh. The conditions will suit New Zealand better, but Bangladesh has swing bowlers who can take advantage of them as well. We predict that New Zealand will win a close game. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
