NZ vs BAN 3rd Match Prediction

NZ vs BAN Team Previews

New Zealand

New Zealand is the easy favorite at every single cricket betting site that we could find. The reason for that is not very difficult to see. New Zealand is one of the top T20 sides in the world with a healthy mix of attacking batters, all-rounders, and world-class bowlers. It also reached the final of the previous T20 World Cup and has won all but three of its matches since then. 

Players like Devon Conway and Kane Williamson are quite dependable )although they need to bat with more intent than they showed against Pakistan). We also think Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, and Jimmy Neesham add some real striking power at the bottom of the inning.

New Zealand looked a bit rusty with the bat in the match against Pakistan but that game time would have done it good. The bowling attack that New Zealand played with was also quite different than what we had expected. Resting and rotating players will be a feature but we hope to see Lockie Ferguson and Mitch Santner in the lineup.

Bangladesh

Bangladesh played well with the limitations its team has against Pakistan but it never really seriously challenged them. The batting lineup for Bangladesh lacks power and the bouncy conditions are not to their liking. There was not a single player that looked comfortable at the crease and that does not bode well for Bangladesh ahead of this match either. 

A few of Bangladesh's bowlers kept things tight. We are talking about Taskin Ahmed and Nasum Ahmed, both of whom went under 30 runs in their fours overs and picked up some crucial wickets. 

Any way you slice it, Bangladesh's team is just not as good as what New Zealand has. Also, its record is terrible in this country and it has yet to win a white ball match against New Zealand.
