NZ vs BAN 2nd ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The second ODI of the three-match series between New Zealand and Bangladesh gets underway in Nelson on Wednesday. The opening match experienced some rain delays but did reach a conclusion with New Zealand winning by 44 runs (DLS) to go 1-0 up. Read on as we preview this ODI. The game begins at the Saxton Oval at 11:00 local time.
New Zealand are experimenting with some new players in this series but they also have some more established players all of who stepped up in the opening game. With a brilliant record against Bangladesh in New Zealand, we expect the Black Caps to go 2-0 up.
Bangladesh have never beaten New Zealand in an ODI in New Zealand and the conditions are much more suited to the home side. If their batters can turn scores in the twenties into half-centuries then they will have a much better chance in this game.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
There will certainly be one change to the New Zealand side for this game as Ish Sodhi is taking a planned break for the last two games of the series and in his place we expect Adi Ashok to make his ODI debut. Kyle Jamieson will miss the rest of the series with injury and Finn Allen will not be in the squad as he will be playing in the Super Smash.
NZ Key Players
- Will Young - The right-handed opener was in excellent form in the opening ODI hitting 14 fours and four sixes. At home he averages 90.60 from nine innings.
- Tom Latham - The skipper had been struggling for runs in this format before Sunday’s first game of the series where he hit 92 runs from 77 balls.
- Adam Milne - The pace bowler really enjoys bowling against Bangladesh and he has an impressive strike-rate of 13.33 in ODIs against the Tigers this year.
- Josh Clarkson - It was a strong debut with the ball for the 26 year old who made 1 run with the bat before being run-out. He dismissed Anamul Haque and Litton Das in the first ODI.
NZ Team Form
New Zealand put in a strong performance on Sunday and have won two of their last three ODIs.

Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Nicholls, Tom Latham (c), Tom Blundell (wk), Mark Chapman, Josh Clarkson, Jacob Duffy, William O’Rourke, Adam Milne, Adi Ashok
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
We could see a change at the top of the order for Bangladesh who has struggled against the moving ball in New Zealand across his career and could swap positions with Litton Das in the batting line-up. No injuries have been reported after Sunday’s game.
BAN Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The left-hander will be looking to kick on in this game after making 15 runs before being dismissed by Ish Sodhi on Sunday. However, with no Sodhi in the opposition XI, he will look to take advantage.
- Litton Das - The 29 year old has a top score of 176 in this format and he is capable of making a big score in this clash. He averages 32.35 in ODIs.
- Shoriful Islam - The left-arm tall swing bowler dismissed both Rachin Ravindra and Henry Nicholls in his opening over on Sunday. He has an excellent record against New Zealand’s top order in this format.
- Mehidy Hasan Miraz - The 26 year old hit 28 not out from 21 balls in the first game of the series and also picked up the key wicket of Tom Latham.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh put in a competitive performance in the opening game of the series but they have won only two of their last 13 ODIs.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Soumya Sarkar, Anamul Haque, Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Litton Das, Towhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam, Hasan Mahmud, Mustafizur Rahman

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Betting Odds
After going 1-0 up in the series, New Zealand are the heavy favourites to go 2-0 up with the bookies. The hosts can be backed at 1.20 with Bangladesh’s odds out at 4.33 for the victory.
Who will win New Zealand vs Bangladesh 2nd ODI Match?
Although New Zealand saw two of their top three score ducks and their numbers six and seven make only one run each, they were still able to win the game comfortably on Sunday. Bangladesh have some players with quality but not enough depth across the team.
🏆 New Zealand vs Bangladesh Prediction
With Ish Sodhi dropping out of New Zealand’s team, there could be an opportunity for Bangladesh to target an inexperienced spinner in this ODI. That looks like being the best chance for the Tigers to be competitive and to level the series. However, New Zealand still have some very experienced players in their team, particularly in the batting line-up who should have enough to win the game. Our prediction is for New Zealand to win.
