This will be the second ODI between Bangladesh (BAN) and New Zeland. The first game was abandoned due to rain. This match will be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium on 23rd September 2023 at 1:30 PM IST. Here are the key stats, must-pick players & suggested fantasy XIs for this game.
Bangladesh restricted the Kiwis to 136/5. They were very consistent with their lines and lengths. Their spinners exploited the slow-ish nature of the track and kept the Kiwi batters under pressure. They'll look to do the same in this game as well.
New Zealand looked a bit defensive in the first game. None of the batters except Will Young and Henry Nicholls looked comfortable at the crease. They'll look to do well as a batting unit in this game, especially against the Bangladeshi spinners.
BAN vs NZ, 2nd ODI: Pitch Report
The pitch was on the slower side in the first game with plenty of assistance for spinners and bowlers who use variations (cutters & slower deliveries). There was a little assistance for the pacers with the new ball but overall, the spinners dominated the game. It's expected to be similar in this game as well. Batters who are good against spin will be successful here.
