Our Prediction

New Zealand are favourites to win

Can the visitors fight back to prevent a 0-3 clean sweep? 

New Zealand have the three-match ODI series in the bag as they beat Bangladesh by 67 runs in the second one-dayer at Nelson. The third and the final one-day international is now nothing more than a dead heat which is scheduled to be played on December 31 at the Saxton Oval - the same venue where the last game was played. Live action begins at 11 AM local time.

Toss

The 300-run mark has been crossed on four occasions in the seven completed ODIs at the Saxton Oval. The wicket was good for batting here in the last match but as was expected, it also provided movement for the seam bowlers. The pitch is likely to remain the same for this game and going by the past records, the toss-winning team might still want to bat second. Bangladesh have struggled with their chases so far on this tour which makes New Zealand a valuable betting choice if they bat first.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11

Team News

There is no news of any player in New Zealand's camp suffering from injury as of now. The team is in good physical condition and no changes have been reported to be made in their playing eleven for this match.

Key Players

Tom Latham and Neil Broom - the two centurions of the first and the second ODI respectively - are important members in the Kiwi batting lineup. Kane Williamson is due for a big one and we predict him to make the most runs in this match. Tim Southee and Trent Boult shared four wickets between them in the last game and they will continue to create problems for the Bangladeshi batsmen.

Recent Form

New Zealand have been very impressive in 50-overs cricket at home this year with seven wins from eight matches. Their bowlers are in good form which is evident from their performance in the first two games where they dismissed Bangladesh before the completion of 50 overs.

New Zealand Predicted XI

  • MJ Guptill, TWM Latham, KS Williamson (c), NT Broom, JDS Neesham, C Munro, L Ronchi (wk), MJ Santner, TG Southee, LH Ferguson and TA Boult.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11

Team News

Wicketkeeper-batsman Mushfiqur Rahim has been ruled out of the remainder of the tour due to a hamstring injury. Nurul Hasan who took the wicket-keeping gloves over from him in the second ODI will retain his place for the third one.

Key Players

Imrul Kayes hit 59 in the last match. He seemed to be the most comfortable of all their batsmen in these conditions and the team will want him to contribute alongside Tamim Iqbal who has been kept quiet so far. With three wickets in the first game and two in the next, it is Shakib Al Hasan who has troubled New Zealand the most and we predict the spinner to finish with the best bowling figures on Saturday.

Recent Form

Bangladesh's problem of failing to win overseas continues. They have lost yet another ODI series in New Zealand despite their batsmen doing well in the first game and their bowlers restricting the hosts to a gettable 251 in the second.

­NZ vs Ban Head-to-Head in ODIs

Of the 27 ODIs between the two teams till date, New Zealand have won 19 while Bangladesh have won 8. This will be just the second time when they face each other at the Saxton Oval on Saturday. The hosts won the first match here by 67 runs.

­NZ vs Ban 3rd ODI Betting Odds

New Zealand have outperformed Bangladesh in every department of the game in the first two ODIs. Though they were not quite as good with the bat as they were in the first game, they still are overwhelming favorites to win the third one-day international at 1.16 with betfair and 1.25 with bet365. Bangladesh, just as was expected, are finding it difficult to cope with the conditions in New Zealand. Their bowlers were taken apart in the first game while their batting lineup suffered a serious collapse in the second. The visitors are therefore up at 3.5 and 4.00 with betfair and bet365 respectively.

­NZ vs Ban 3rd ODI Prediction

New Zealand have now won three out of the four ODIs they have played at the Saxton Oval and it is proving out to be quite a good hunting ground for them. Bangladesh will be left heart-broken after they squandered a fine opportunity to level the series in the second ODI. Chasing 251, the tourists were well on course at 105-2 in the 23rd over before the Kiwi bowlers triggered a dramatic collapse. Bangladesh struggled big time with the bat on this pitch and unless they don't show a major improvement on Saturday, we don't see them prevent a 0-3 series whitewash.

Final Verdict: We recommend betting on New Zealand to win this match.
