Mahumudullah scored 49 runs in the last match and was the top scorer for Bangladesh. His record against New Zealand in ODIs is phenomenal, Mahmudullah has scored 725 runs in 25 innings against the Black Caps. We predict Mahmudullah to continue his good run and be the top batter for Bangladesh.
Henry Nicholls to be the top batter for New Zealand
Henry Nicholls looked solid in the first ODI scoring 44 runs in 57 balls in the first match and 49 runs off 76 s in the last match. 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 299 runs in eight matches against Bangladesh and he is one of the ideal batters to score runs in spin-friendly conditions. Considering his performance in the first two matches, we predict 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
Mustafizur Rahman was phenomenal in the first match and continued his good run with the ball in the last match. He picked up five wickets in two matches in the series. The 28-year-old has a very good record at Shere Bangla National Stadium 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
Ish Sodhi is coming off a phenomenal performance in the last game. Sodhi bowled the best spell of his career finishing with figures of 6/39. On a turning track, Ish Sodhi is one of the toughest bowlers to face and the conditions at Dhaka are ideal for his bowling. We back Sodhi to produce another match winning spell and be the top bowler for New Zealand.
