New Zealand Batting 1st
Top C/Vc Choices
- Rachin Ravindra
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz
Differential Players to Watch Out: NZ Batting First
- Finn Allen (If he survives the first ten overs he can score big in this match)
- Tom Latham (He is the highest run scorer at this venue for NZ)
- Hasan Mehmud (If he plays he can pick up wickets in the death overs)
- Ish Sodhi (If New Zealand scores a massive total then Bangladesh players will look to hit him and can give their wickets away in the process)
Bangladesh Batting 1st
Top C/Vc Choices
- Adam Milne
J Duffy - NZ Bowler + NZ Opener
- M Rahim
*You can club any New Zealand bowler with their opener in this scenario*
Differential Players to Watch Out: Bangladesh Batting First
Ben Sears ( He is a tall bowler and can take a lot of wickets if NZ is unable to take wickets in Powerplay)
M Rahim and Tohid Hridoy are very technical players and will look to hold the innings if early wickets fall.
W O Rourke (He is a young player and is compared to Kyle Jamieson and in Kyle’s absence he is a must-try in Grand leagues.
NZ vs BAN Dream11 Probable Match Winner Prediction
New Zealand are a very strong side when it comes to play on their home conditions and any opponent looks in trouble when they are playing against them in their home venues. The overall Head-to-Head also did not look promising for Bangladesh as they lost 31 matches from 41 matches they played against New Zealand.
