Bangladesh vs New Zealand Chance of Winning
The first One Day International between Bangladesh and New Zealand was washed out due to rain after Bangladesh opted to bowl first on a sluggish track. Finn Alllen struggled to score runs and was dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman early in the innings. Chad Bowes didn't trouble the Bangladesh bowlers either and the home team were on team in the powerplay overs. Will Young and Henry Nicholls steadied the innings adding 97 runs for the third wicket. Will Young scored a gritty half century and Henry Nicholls scored 44 runs. Both players were dismissed in quick succession by Nasum Ahmed and Mustafizur. The match was in the balance for both the teams before the game was called off due to rain.
Bangladesh has a higher chance of winning the second ODI as the inexperienced batting lineup of New Zealand were put to the test by Mustafizur Rahman and the spin trio of Nasum Ahmed, Mahedi Hasan and Mahmudullah. Bangladesh are undefeated on their home soil against New Zealand since 2010, such has been the dominance of Bangladesh against the Black Caps on their home turf. With experienced players in the lineup, Bangladesh enter the second One Day International as favourites.
- Bangladesh Chance of Winning: 55%
- New Zealand’s Chance of Winning: 45%
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Betting Tips
Mahmudullah is an experienced batter in the middle order for Bangladesh and he has the best record amongst the active players in the ODI series against New Zealand. He has scored 676 runs against the Black Caps and has two hundreds to his tally. The Bangladesh selectors are yet to announce the final 15 squad for the ODI World Cup and it is a key series for Mahmudullah to prove a point to the selectors that he is still good enough to score match winning knocks with the bat. With the stakes all time high, we believe Mahmudullah is the best player to bet on to score over 32.5 runs @ 1.83 (Melbet).

- No Result: 01 match
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Betting Odds
Ish Sodhi to take over 1.5 wickets @ 2.25 (Melbet)
Ish Sodhi can be lethal on turning tracks and he is New Zealand’s go-to bowler in spin friendly conditions. Sodhi gets additional bounce than most of the other wrist spinners due to his height and the track at Dhaka is an ideal surface for Sodhi to ponder on and get some wickets. Based on the pitch conditions, we predict Ish Sodhi to pick up more than one wicket @ 2.25 (Melbet) in the second ODI.
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Top Batters
Mahmudullah to be the top batter for Bangladesh @ 6.65 (Melbet)
Mahumudullah is highly experienced and has scored 2298 runs at an average of 34.29 in Bangladesh. His record against New Zealand in ODIs is phenomenal, Mahmudullah has scored 676 runs in 24 innings against the Black Caps. With the spot in the World Cup squad on the line, we back Mahmudullah to come good and produce a match winning knock against New Zealand.
Henry Nicholls to be the top batter for New Zealand @ 4.75 (Melbet)
Henry Nicholls looked solid in the first ODI scoring 44 runs in 57 balls. Nicholls has a wide range of shots in his arsenal against spin bowlers, he can sweep, reverse sweep and adapt to the conditions pretty well. Nicholls has scored 255 runs in seven matches against Bangladesh and he is the one of the ideal batters to score runs in spin friendly conditions. Considering his performance in the first ODI and his overall record against Bangladesh, we back Henry Nicholls to be the top batter for New Zealand.
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Top Bowlers
Mustafizur Rahman to be the top bowler for Bangladesh @ 3.60 (Melbet)
Mustafizur Rahman was phenomenal in the first ODI with the new ball and in the middle overs. He was at the top of the mark with his bowling and finished with figures of 3/27 in seven overs. Mustafixur has a very good record while bowling at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka and we back him to continue his good run and be the top bowler for Bangladesh against New Zealand.
Ish Sodhi to be the top bowler for New Zealand @ 5.50 (Melbet)
Ish Sodhi can be lethal on a turning track that has some additional bounce and the surface at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka is an ideal track for Sodhi to bag a handful of wickets. He didn't get the opportunity to bowl in the first ODI,but we believe Sodhi to be the most effective bowler for New Zealand in the second ODI and we back him to be the top bowler for New Zealand.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Bangladesh
The odds in favour of Bangladesh to win the match are 1.80, while in favour of New Zealand to win the match are 2.00. Bangladesh is a highly competitive team while playing at home and are always the favourites to win the match. New Zealand’s inability to adapt to spin friendly tracks makes it much easier for Bangladesh to win the match as their batters are more well accustomed to playing at home conditions and the major threat to Bangladesh batting lineup is Ish Sodhi and none of the other bowlers seem to trouble the experienced Bangladesh batters. Our final prediction is Bangladesh to win the second ODI against New Zealand.
- Bangladesh to win the match @ 1.80 (Melbet)
- New Zealand to win the match @ 2.00 (Melbet)
