LIVE SCORES - New Zealand Tour of Bangladesh 2023 - 2nd ODI Match

Current Form New Zealand and Bangladesh:

The first ODI between New Zealand and Bangladesh was abandoned due to rain. Only 33 overs could be bowled and New Zealand scored 136 runs for the loss of 5 wickets. It was a relentless downpour and the match couldn't restart despite extraordinary efforts from the groundsmen.

Bangladesh were certainly dominant in the first ODI and they should dictate terms against New Zealand in the 3 match series.

New Zealand are in a very ordinary form in ODI cricket. They have been very recently defeated by England in a 4 match series by 3-1.

The New Zealand middle order looks in good nick but the top order has struggled in the ODI series. They would have to play an A game if they have to challenge Bangladesh in their home conditions.

Players to look out for:

1. Finn Allen- He is a swashbuckling opener who can change the course of the game in a matter of a few balls. Allen is certainly a player to watch out for in the upcoming matches.

2. Trent Boult- He performed brilliantly in the English tour recently. Boult is a backbone of Kiwi bowling attack and he is expected to come to the fore against Bangladesh in the 3 match series.

Bangladesh on the other hand, aren't in the best of form in ODI cricket. They failed to qualify for the Finals in Asia Cup 2023 and had also lost a 3 match series against Afghanistan in July by 2-1.

Bangladesh are a very strong unit with their strength in the spin bowling department. They are certainly the favorites going into the 3 match series.

Players to look out for:

1. Litton Das- He will be captaining the Bangladesh team in the absence of Shakib Al Hasan. Das is one of the experienced batters in the side and will be vested with the responsibility of getting Bangladesh off to good starts.

2. Nasum Ahmed- He bowled exceptionally well in the recently concluded Asia Cup 2023. Ahmed can keep the batters quiet and also picks up wickets when his team needs the most.

Let’s have a look at the squads:

Bangladesh:

Litton Das (c), Anamul Haque, Khaled Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan, Mahmudullah, Mustafizur Rahman, Nasum Ahmed, Nurul Hasan, Rishad Hossain, Soumya Sarkar, Tamim Iqbal, Tanzid Hasan, Tanzim Hasan Sakib, Towhid Hridoy, Zakir Hasan

New Zealand:

Chad Bowes, Dane Cleaver(wk), Dean Foxcroft, Kyle Jamieson, Cole McConchie, Adam Milne, Henry Nicholls, Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Will Young, Lockie Ferguson (C), Finn Allen(wk), Tom Blundell, Trent Boult
