NZ vs BAN, 11th Match - Toss Factor
The pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium will be slow, and the batters will find it difficult to score runs in the first innings of the match. The spinners will enjoy the surface under the sun, but as the match progresses and the lights are switched on, dew is expected to come in and make the conditions better for batting. So, the team winning the toss will look to field first.
Scenario: If New Zealand Fields First
Knowing the nature of the pitch, New Zealand is expected to draft Ish Sodhi into the team for this match. And if the Kiwis get to field first, players like Ish Sodhi, Mitchell Santner, Rachin Ravindra, Matt Henry and Kane Williamson will be important picks for the fantasy contests of the match.
Secnario: If Bangldesh Fields First
The Bangladesh team management must have seen the India vs Australia at the same venue. On winning the toss, they will look to field first and unleash their world-class spinners on the turning track of Chennai. In this scenario, players like Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Mirazn, and Nasum Ahmed (if he plays) will be important choices for the game.
NZ vs BAN, 11th Match - Top Captain and Vice-captain options
Scenario: If Bangladesh Fields First
Shakib Al Hasan (BAN)
On a turning track, Shakib Al Hasan can be a lethal bowler. Also, his experience will be very important for Bangladesh in the chase. Shakib will be an advantageous option if Bangladesh have to chase a target.
Mehidy Hasan Miraz (BAN)
Much like Shakib, Mehidy Hasan Miraz can be a match-winner with both the bat and the ball. With so many left-handed batters in the New Zealand batting line-up, Miraz's off-spin will be very useful for Bangladesh. Also, his batting can be an important aspect when they are to chase down a target.
Scenario: If New Zealand Fields First
Mitchell Santner (NZ)
The left-arm spinner bowled a match-winning spell in the last game, where he picked up five wickets. On the turning track of the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Santner will be a prized asset for New Zealand. Also, he can be handy with the bat lower down the order and, hence, will be an excellent pick for the fantasy contests of the match.
Kane Williamson (NZ)
The Kiwi skipper will be back for this match. Williamson is a great player of spin, and on a turning track, his technique will be perfect for the New Zealand team.
NZ vs BAN, 11th Match - Big Risk, Big Return Choices
Rachin Ravindra (NZ)
The talented young all-rounder has given two outstanding performances in the tournament so far. The fact the law of averages might catch up with him makes him a risky pick. But his current form makes Rachin Ravindra a risky yet worthy pick as the captain or vice-captain of the match.
Tanzid Hasan (BAN)
The Bangladeshi opener has a great technique and looks a great batter. But Tanzid has failed to deliver in the tournament so far. His current form makes him a risky choice, but his class makes him a worthy choice for the fantasy contests of the match.
