NZ vs BAN Dream11 prediction: Match preview

Looking to extend 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. Trent Boult was the 'Man of the Match' for his spell of 4 for 27, which helped New Zealand restrict Bangladesh to a mere 131 runs. He was supported by Jimmy Neesham and Mitchell Santner who took two wickets each. Martin Guptill's brilliant 38 off 19 and Henry Nicholls' 49* took the hosts to a well-deserved win in just 21.2 overs, giving them a 1-0 in the three-match series.

Despite playing against a side that was missing their two seniormost players — Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor — Bangladesh barely managed to make a dent in the Kiwis batting or bowling efforts. With 27 runs from 54 balls, Mahmudullah was the top scorer for Bangladesh along with Musfiqur Rahim who made 23 off 49. Taskin Ahmed and Hasan Mahmud were the only bowlers who managed to pick wickets for the visitors, with Ahmed ending taking 1-23 and Mahmud, 1-49. Bangladesh will have to make a quick comeback and adapt to the fast bowling friendly conditions of New Zealand to prevent a whitewash in this game.
