New Zealand will meet Bangladesh at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on October 13 in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Here is the NZ vs BAN Dream11 fantasy preview, including tips and predictions for CWC Match 11.
CWC 2023: New Zealand vs Bangladesh match preview
New Zealand got off to a strong start to the World Cup by defeating defending champions England in the first match and the Netherlands in the second match. Mitchell Santner and Devon Conway will return to their IPL home stadium in Chennai against Bangladesh.
New Zealand’s biggest positive will be the return of Kane Williamson, but with Rachin Ravindra and Will Young performing well at the top, there will be selection issues. It will be interesting to see how they deal with this issue.
Bangladesh have played two matches so far with mixed results, with a comprehensive win against Afghanistan and a 137-run loss against England. They will take solace in the fact that the match against New Zealand will be held in Chennai, a spin-friendly venue.
NZ vs BAN fantasy tips
#Ish Sodhihas been doing great against Bangladesh. Against Bangladesh, he took 8 wickets from 3 ODIs at an average of 14.9. He is expected to start at the Chennai ground. If so, you should select it.
# Litton Das averages 7 in 7 ODI matches against New Zealand. Matt Henry in particular fired him three times. It would be wiser not to choose him.
# Taskin Ahmed has been in great form with the ball this year, taking 23 wickets from 12 ODIs. However, he did not perform well against New Zealand, with 8 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 48.8. The match will be held in Chennai. It can be avoided.
# Rachin Ravindra has scored 151 goals in two World Cup matches so far. But even if his ranking drops with the addition of Kane Williamson, his bowling will still earn him points. This year, Ravindra has picked 14 wickets from 11 matches. He should definitely be included in your eleven.
