The teams had contrasting fortunes in the inaugural tournament matches. Following their victory over the host nation, the New Zealand team has gained momentum. They have recently emerged as a formidable force in ODIs. Bangladesh, as one of the subcontinent's teams, will hope to cause trouble. They may find Mitchell Santner's side too strong for them.

BAN vs NZ Pitch Report

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi is known for its batter-friendly surfaces. The players should anticipate an inline pace and bounce all through the entire game. There should also be something in it for slower bowlers and spinners with sufficient turns to create havoc, especially later on.

Topmost Picks for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Mehidy Hasan Miraz – Mehidy Hasan Miraz, a versatile all-rounder, makes significant contributions. He has accumulated 1604 ODI runs and 110 ODI wickets.
• Mustafizur Rahman – Mustafizur Rahman, a left-armer, has 6 four-wicket hauls and 5 five-wicket hauls in ODI cricket.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Devon Conway – Devon Conway's versatility across formats makes him a cornerstone of New Zealand's batting lineup. The left-hander has over 1400 ODI runs.
• Matt Henry –  Henry's right-arm fast bowling adds experience and reliability to the pace attack. In ODIs, he has twelve four-wicket hauls and two five-wicket hauls.

BAN vs NZ Probable Winners:

Bangladesh has struggled to make the transition from plucky underdogs to true challengers in these tournaments over the years. We don't believe they have enough depth with the bat or ball to test the Black Caps, so we expect another victory for New Zealand. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
