BAN vs NZ 1st ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Bangladesh will take on New Zealand in a 3 match ODI series. The series is important as it will serve as a preparation for the World Cup. The 1st ODI will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium and will start at 1:30 PM IST on September 21.
The Bangladesh vs New Zealand series is an important as this will be the final opportunity for teams to fix their jigsaw before the World Cup. Both teams did not have a great outing in their previous series, with Bangladesh failing to reach the Asia Cup final and New Zealand losing the series to England. Bangladesh, however, beat India in the last Asia Cup game which will be a great confidence booster.
For Bangladesh, the series is about finding the right combination and going into the World Cup with great momentum. New Zealand, on the other hand, have rested their key players and sent a second-string team to the country. Their focus is on testing the bench strength and giving their fringe players some game time. Bangladesh will back themselves to win the series against a young Kiwi team.

BAN vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
The captain winning the toss will look to bowl. The conditions will not be easy to bat and teams will be looking to bowl out opposition for a low score and then chase the total without any pressure.
BAN vs NZ Pitch Report
The pitch as the Shere Bangla National Stadium supports spinners. It is slow and low and not very easy to bat. In the last few years, Bangladesh have produced turning tracks which has resulted the opposition teams getting out for very low scores. Don't think it will be a high scoring series either.
Dhaka Weather Report
Rain is likely to play a big role in the game. There are 100 per cent chance of rain in Dhaka and a washout can not be counted out.

Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
Bangladesh have recalled veteran batters Tamim Iqbal and Mahmudullah back to the ODI team for the series. Captain Shakib Al Hasan, however, have been given a rest from the first two games of the ODI series.
BAN Key Players
- Tamim Iqbal – Tamim Iqbal brings a lot of experience to the team and will be the side's most experienced player in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan. Tamim brings a lot of stability to the top order which Bangladesh so desperately need.
- Towhid Hridoy– Towhid has shown great promise in the last few months. After having a decent run in the Lanka Premier League, he delivered some fine performances in the Asia Cup. The series will be a great chance for him to cement a place in the World Cup playing 11.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz - Miraz is a brilliant cricketer. He is a top batter who can be used as a floater and his spin bowling will be more than handy in these conditions. Hasan scored a century in the Asia Cup.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh had a poor outing in the Asia Cup and failed to reach the final. They, however, beat India in the final game.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
New Zealand have rested most of their big guns for the series. The Kiwi team will be led by Lockie Ferguson. Dean Foxcroft, who made T20I debut recently is in line to make his ODI debut as well.
NZ Key Players
- Will Young – Will Young can be an important player for New Zealand. In Bangladesh, the conditions are great for batting when the ball is new. Young being an opener can get the team a quick start which will allow middle order batters to bat without the pressure of scoring quick runs against the spinners.
- Rachin Ravindra – Rachin Ravindra will enjoy the conditions in Bangladesh. He is a spin bowling all-rounder thus Kiwis will expect him to spell magic with the ball and get some runs down the order.
- Trent Boult - Trent Boult will have a big responsibility on his shoulders. Boult is known to pick early wickets thus if he can put Bangladesh in early trouble, New Zealand can back themselves to restrict Bangladesh to a low score.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand last played an ODI series against England and suffered a crushing defeat.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Lockie Ferguson (C), Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Finn Allen (wk), Chad Bowes, Rachin Ravindra, Cole McConchie/ Dean Foxcroft, Tom Blundell, Kyle Jamieson, Trent Boult, Ish Sodhi

Who will win Bangladesh vs New Zealand 1st ODI Match?
We suggest backing Bangladesh to win. The New Zealand team has rested their big guns and it won't be easy for an inexperienced side to beat Bangladesh in their own conditions as the pitch will support spinners and Bangladesh are far superior in that aspect.
