13 Oct, 2023 | 05:55:25 PM IST

A buoyant New Zealand side is up against Asian tigers Bangladesh in this eleventh encounter of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

The Kiwis have made a dream start to their campaign in this showpiece event, and they are coming off a dominant 99-run win over the Netherlands in Hyderabad. In their opening match, the black caps thrashed England as they chased down 283 runs in the 37th over to register a comprehensive nine-wicket win.

On the other hand, Bangladesh were dominated by England in their last match and lost it by 137 runs in Dharamshala. Bangladesh's batting looked rather ordinary, and they have had all sorts of problems during the match. The Bangla Tigers need to sort out a few things in this contest; otherwise, the Kiwis would run away with it.

When it comes to head-to-head matches, New Zealand and Bangladesh have faced each other in 41 matches, and New Zealand have triumphed in 30 encounters, while Bangladesh earned the victory in 10 matches. One match ended without any result.

Bangladesh could be a dangerous team if they manage to maintain momentum during the crucial stages of this match, but for that, they need to play out of their skin. The Kiwis just need to do what they have done in the previous two encounters.

New Zealand team for World Cup: Kane Williamson (c), Trent Boult, Mark Chapman, Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Matt Henry, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Jimmy Neesham, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, Mitch Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Will Young.

Bangladesh team: Shakib Al Hasan (c), Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, Najmul Hossain Shanto (vc), Tawhid Hridoy, Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah Riyad, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Nasum Ahmed, Shak Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman, Hasan Mahmud, Shoriful Islam, Tanzim Hasan Sakib.

Bangladesh has set a target that is below par, giving New Zealand a great opportunity to secure their third win in the competition. Moreover, New Zealand has a perfect 5-0 record against Bangladesh in World Cups, so the underdogs will need an extraordinary performance with the ball and in the field to cause an upset. Stay tuned to witness how the chase unfolds.
