New Zealand vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI: Match preview 

Looking to further their undefeated streak in all series at home since January 2020, the New Zealand Men defeated Bangladesh by a whopping 8-wicket margin in the 1st ODI on Saturday. Now 1-0 up in the three-match series, the home team will hope to consolidate their series with a win in this game. They will also be looking forward to piling on the points on their ICC Cricket World Cup Super League account which has gotten off to a great start this year. Despite missing two of their most senior players, Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor, the team will be in high spirits as they go into this game.

On the other hand, Bangladesh will be upset with their easy defeat in the 1st ODI, especially considering that they are coming off a strong 3-0 ODI series victory against the West Indies at home. As their winless streak in New Zealand continues, the visitors are expected to put up a good fight to prevent being whitewashed. The Tigers will also be looking at adding points to their CWC Super League account, where they are currently in second place. They will also be missing a major player in Shakib al Hasan, who will miss the series as he is on paternity leave.
