T20i

Bay Oval

After the second T20I of Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand was washed out, it is confirmed that Bangladesh will return to their home country, not losing a series for the first time in their history of touring Bangladesh. But the third T20I of the series, set to be played at the Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, on December 31, 2023 (Sunday), provides the home side an opportunity to square the series.

Facts:

  • Ish Sodhi maintains his pivotal role as New Zealand's primary T20 bowler, boasting an average of 25 in 2023.
  • Litton Das has been a stalwart on the T20 scene in Bangladesh, amassing 4184 runs at an average of 24.18 and a commendable strike rate of 127.8.
  • Glenn Phillips has 5721 runs at an impressive average of 31.74 and a striking rate of 141.5.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Chance of Winning

After the Kiwis were outplayed in the first game, the second game was a chance for them to surge through, but now they can realistically only draw the series. New Zealand managed 72 runs in 11 overs in the rain-interrupted game but will look to use the full resources available at their disposal to ensure that the final T20I will have a different result.

Bangladesh won the last ODI and the first T20I of the series, which is definitely a cataloging factor, but what is even more impressive is the fact that they managed to restrict the Kiwis to 72/2 in 11 overs, a run rate just a tad over six runs per over. That is an encouraging factor. Even more impressive is the fact that their bowlers continue to punch above their weight.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Betting Tips

Tim Seifert was in his element in the second game before rain created its havoc. I am pretty sure he is going to do the same in the next game as well. There is a certain sense of tangibility to the way Shoriful Islam is bowling at the bowling and not betting on him is missing the bus. Further, Glenn Phillips has always been a T20 superstar and his impact on the side is as good as any. So spare some money for him as well.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Best Batters

Glenn Phillips to be New Zealand’s best batter (Parimatch)

Glenn Phillips has 5721 runs at an impressive average of 31.74 and a striking rate of 141.5. With 38 fifties and five centuries under his belt, his track record speaks volumes. His balls per dismissal ratio of 22.4 signifies a player synonymous with destruction. Expect nothing short of his A-game.

Litton Das to be Bangladesh’s best batter (Parimatch)

Litton Das has been a stalwart on the T20 scene in Bangladesh, amassing 4184 runs at an average of 24.18 and a commendable strike rate of 127.8. Despite the absence of a century, his 24 half-centuries testify to his reliability, solidifying his position as a key figure in Bangladesh's lineup. Backing him as the standout player from the Bangladesh squad for the day seems like a prudent move.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh Best Bowlers

Ish Sodhi to be New Zealand’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Ish Sodhi maintains his pivotal role as New Zealand's primary T20 bowler, boasting an average of 25 in 2023. As the leading wicket-taker for the Kiwis in the shortest format this year, he consistently makes a game-changing impact. It’d be surprising if Ish Sodhi doesn't effortlessly outshine him, given his consistent and impactful displays.

Shoriful Islam to be Bangladesh’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Shoriful Islam's three-wicket haul in the first game of the series underscores his emerging status as Bangladesh's most promising pace bowler. Amassing 37 wickets at an average of 23.4 throughout his career, he's carved a notable niche for himself. If he sustains this form, his consistency could pave the way for Bangladesh to dream big, relying on his prowess to make impactful contributions in successive games.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

New Zealand

The rain may have affected the second game to wash away New Zealand’s hopes of winning the series, but you really need to be staying in a fool’s world if you don’t back them to win the last game of the series. As with everything with New Zealand, they really are a spunky side whose approach to winning matches are by playing percentage cricket. So just relax and bet on the Kiwis to add another game to their winning bucket.
