Topmost Picks for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Bangladesh

• Najmul Hossain Shanto- the captain is an excellent all-format international with seven centuries to his name and five of them coming since May of this year.
• Mehidy Hasan Miraz- the all-rounder has hit two centuries in ODIs and also has over 100 wickets in this format. He will get turn for his off-spin in this game.

Top Picks – New Zealand

• Rachin Ravindra- only Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock hit more runs than the 24 year old during the World Cup. He needs to hit four boundaries in this game to bring up 100 boundaries in his ODI career.
• Ish Sodhi- the right arm leg-spinner is scheduled to take a break from international cricket after this game so he will be keen to build on the 3 wickets he took in the Test Match in Sylhet against Bangladesh last month.

Suggested Playing XI N0.1 for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Tom Latham, Mushfiqur Rahim, Will Young, Finn Allen, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Rachin Ravindra(C), Soumya Sarkar, Mehidy Hasan Miraz(VC), Shoriful Islam, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi

Suggested Playing XI N0.2 for BAN vs NZ Dream11 Team:

Tom Latham, Litton Das, Will Young(C), Finn Allen, Najmul Hossain Shanto(VC), Rachin Ravindra, Mustafizur Rahman, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Adam Milne, Ish Sodhi

Captain and Vice-Captain Options:

Captain – Rachin Ravindra, Will Young

Vice-captain – Najmul Hossain Shanto, Mehidy Hasan Miraz

Wicketkeeper – Tom Latham

BAN vs NZ Probable Winners:

With Ish Sodhi out of New Zealand’s squad, Bangladesh may have an opportunity to target an inexperienced spinner in this ODI. That appears to be the Tigers’ best chance of remaining competitive and tying the series. New Zealand, on the other hand, still has some very experienced players in their team, particularly in their batting lineup, which should be enough to win the game. We predict that New Zealand will win. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.

Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) has unveiled their first-ever ten-over contest, the Lanka T10, set to unfold between December 12-23 in Colombo. Player auctions for the league are slated for November 10th. Concurrently, plans for a women’s T10 league during the same dates are also in discussion.

“The evolution of cricket now includes the T10 format, gaining traction among fans. We’re thrilled to embark on this new endeavor and are optimistic about the maiden Lanka T10’s success,” expressed SLC president Shammi Silva.
