NZ vs BAN 3rd T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
The three match T20I series between New Zealand and Bangladesh concludes on New Year’s Eve at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui. The visitors come into this game 1-0 up after winning the opening match in Napier before the second T20I ended in a no-result with only 11 overs completed. Read on as we preview this final game of the series. The match gets underway at 13:00 local time.
The conditions for Sunday’s game look likely to assist the swing bowlers and New Zealand have a fine group of players ready to take advantage of that. It would be a surprise if the hosts were unable to level the series.
In some ways, Bangladesh have the advantage of their bowlers already having a go on this pitch and they will be keen to get going again in this match. This will be a tough end to the tour but there will be confidence in the squad ahead of this game.

New Zealand Team News & Playing 11
NZ Team News
There were no changes for New Zealand ahead of the second T20I and with only four of the batters getting any action and none of the bowlers bowling, it would not be a surprise to see the same XI selected. Rachin Ravindra could come in for Finn Allen at the top of the order.
NZ Key Players
- Daryl Mitchell- the tall right-handed batter who will be with Chennai Super Kings in next year’s IPL will be the wicket which all Bangladesh bowlers will want to take in this game.
- Tim Seifert- the opening keeper-batter took the attack to the Bangladesh bowlers with 43 runs from 23 balls on Friday and he will look to do the same again in this T20I.
- Mitchell Santner- the bowling all-rounder could have a key role to play with both bat and ball in this game. And if the rain arrives early, he will need to stay on top of any DLS requirements.
- Tim Southee- the experienced swing bowler made his T20I debut back in February 2008 and he is always well equipped to take advantage of humid conditions.
NZ Team Form
Although the game did not come to a finish on Friday, there were positive signs in the batting form for New Zealand. However, the team have not been overly successful in this format of late.
New Zealand Predicted Playing 11
Finn Allen/Rachin Ravindra, Tim Seifert (wk), Daryl Mitchell, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner (c), Adam Milne, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Ben Sears.
Bangladesh Team News & Playing 11
BAN Team News
There was only one change for Bangladesh ahead of the second T20I with their top scorer from the first game of the series, opener Litton Das, missing out with an injury sustained in Napier. Rony Talukdar will take the gloves with Shamim Hossain opening the batting also.
BAN Key Players
- Najmul Hossain Shanto- it has been an up and down 2023 for the skipper who undoubtedly is one of Bangladesh’s most talented young batters. He will want to lead from the front with the bat in this game.
- Soumya Sarkar- the 30 year old left-hander has a top score of 68 in T20Is but this tour has been the making of him and his confidence at international level is very high.
- Shoriful Islam- the opening bowler has picked up the wicket of Finn Allen in both games of this series so far. He will get swing in this match also.
- Mustafizur Rahman- the experienced T20 specialist bowled tightly in his two overs on Friday and he will be looking to cause more problems over the course of four overs in this match.
BAN Team Form
Bangladesh were in a good position when the match was called off on Friday with the danger-batter dismissed. They have lost only one of their last six completed T20Is.
Bangladesh Predicted Playing 11
Shamim Hossain, Rony Talukdar (wk), Najmul Hossain Shanto (c), Soumya Sarkar, Towhid Hridoy, Mahedi Hasan, Afif Hossain, Mahedi Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Shoriful Islam

Who will win New Zealand vs Bangladesh 3rd T20 Match?
With Litton Das out of the side, Bangladesh do look a little lighter with their batting line-up. Particularly in bowler friendly conditions, we have New Zealand as the top team for this match.
🏆 New Zealand vs Bangladesh Prediction
With the weather ending the match early on Friday with no result, New Zealand can no longer win this series and their priority will now be to avoid an embarrassing home series defeat to Bangladesh. The conditions will suit New Zealand better but Bangladesh do have swing bowlers who can also exploit them. Our prediction is for New Zealand to win a close fixture.
