New Zealand Tri-Series 2022: NZ vs BAN Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

Team New Zealand will take on Bangladesh in the third match of the tri-series to be played on October 9 (Sunday). To note, both teams are coming to the contest after losing their first encounter against Pakistan.

Bangladesh played some good cricket in patches against the Pakistani side, but they were not consistent either with the bat or the ball which resulted in their downfall in the first match.  New Zealand  on the other hand looked rusty in their first match and they will want to make a strong comeback in the second game.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter

Kane Williamson:

New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson played well for his 30+ score in the first match against Pakistan. The right-handed batter will look to play a match-winning knock for the home team in the upcoming match against Bangladesh. 

Probable best bowler

Taskin Ahmed:

Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed was simply excellent with the ball against Pakistan. The speedster scalped two wickets and gave away just 25 runs in his four-over quota. Tasking will want to emulate his performance in the next match as well.
