New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Cricket World Cup 2023
New Zealand go head to head with Bangladesh in Match 11 of the 2023 Cricket World Cup in Chennai. Ahead of Thursday’s match, New Zealand are top of the group stage with two wins from two after convincing wins by 99 runs and 9 wickets over the Netherlands and England. Bangladesh beat Afghanistan by 6 wickets in their opener before losing heavily to England by 137 runs on Tuesday. Read on as we preview this day-night ODI. The match gets underway at the MA Chidambaram Stadium at 14:00 local time.
New Zealand have found their form at the right time in this format and look set to take their team up another level with the return of their skipper. Although the pitch may favour some of the Bangladesh players, New Zealand will be very confident of making it three victories from three in this tournament.
Bangladesh will look at the pitch in Chennai and think it could well be to their favour with so many strong spin bowling options. However, scoring enough runs has been an issue for the Tigers over recent months and they will need some big scores to be competitive in this game.

NZ vs BAN Match Toss Prediction
The last eight ODIs at this venue have seen four won by the team batting first and four won by the team batting second. However, sides are preferring to field first in this year’s Cricket World Cup so we predict that both skippers will choose to field first.
NZ vs BAN Pitch Report
The pitch in Chennai is always one which offers turn for the spin bowlers. We expect a par score to be around 300 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium on Friday.
Out of 24 ODIs that have taken place here, 14 have been won by the team batting first and 9 have been won by the chasing team. In the last match, India held on to their nerves after falling at 2-3 and then chased the target of 200 against Australia. India showed that chasing can be done on this pitch if played responsibly but overall stats tell us that it is difficult to chase on this pitch.
Chennai Weather Report
Mostly sunny conditions are forecast across Friday afternoon with some cloud in the evening. The temperature will be up in the 30s for most of the game with the humidity levels likely to reach 80% before the end of the game.

New Zealand Team News
Kane Williamson is expected to come back into the team after proving his fitness in recent training sessions. However, his return will pose a problem for the team management over which player to leave out for this game with many of the batters in strong form.
New Zealand Key Players
- Devon Conway - The left-handed opener has hit 184 runs already in the tournament and enjoyed playing at this ground for Chennai Super Kings in the 2023 IPL across April and May.
- Daryl Mitchell - The batting all-rounder is one of New Zealand’s most in-form players with either bat or ball. He did not get the opportunity to bat against England but hit 48 in the win over the Netherlands.

- Mitchell Santner - The left-arm bowling all-rounder picked up the first 5-wicket haul of the tournament in the victory against the Netherlands. He has also got plenty of experience at this ground from the IPL.
- Trent Boult - It was a rare wicketless ODI for the left-arm pace bowler against the Netherlands but he impressed with his accuracy throughout. He took 2-33 in the last ODI against Bangladesh last month.
- Matt Henry - Henry looks in confident form and he has been having a good year so far. He is in the top 10 bowlers in the ICC ODI rankings. He has picked 136 wickets in 77 ODI matches so far. Henry has picked 6 wickets in 2 matches so far in the World Cup.

Bangladesh Team News
Mahedi Hasan came back into the Bangladesh XI in place of Mahmudullah ahead of the defeat against England on Tuesday and we expect Mahedi to retain his spot for this game with the Chennai pitch expected to be helpful for the spinners in this match.
Bangladesh Key Players
- Litton Das - The right-handed opener was the only one of Bangladesh’s top five to make a double figure score on Tuesday. He will be looking to build on his nine boundaries from that match in this fixture.
- Najmul Hossain Shanto - The 25 year old left-hander has been in the form of his life this year but was dismissed first ball against England. He will be determined to contribute in this clash.

- Mahedi Hasan - The spin bowling all-rounder took 4 wickets against England and can expect more assistance from this pitch in Chennai. Another strong performance could see him get the attention of IPL franchises.
- Shoriful Islam - The left-arm pace bowler was expensive against England but still showed his ability to dismiss the best players as he picked up the wickets of Jos Buttler, Joe Root and Liam Livingstone.
- Shakib Al Hasan - Shakib is leading the side in this World Cup. He has picked 4 wickets in 2 matches and we are backing him as a key all-rounder for this pitch. He has spin abilities which can be helpful on this spin-friendly track. Shakib has taken 312 wickets in 242 ODIs and scored 7399 runs so far.

Due to their very strong form in this format, it is no surprise to see New Zealand as the strong favourites ahead of this match. The Black Caps can be backed at 1.30 with Bangladesh out at 3.25.
Who will win New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI Match?
There are some match-winners in the Bangladesh side and they should be able to cause problems for New Zealand. However, we have New Zealand as the top team as they are full of consistent performers at this top level.
🏆 New Zealand vs Bangladesh Prediction
Although New Zealand have got off to a flying start in this tournament, we are not expecting an easy day for them in Chennai on Friday. Bangladesh have players who can produce far more than we saw against England and they should also be very comfortable on a turning track at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. That said, New Zealand will be boosted by the return of Kane Williamson who will come into a team very high on confidence. We are expecting Bangladesh to push New Zealand throughout the game but our prediction is for New Zealand to come out on top in this match on Friday.
