Bangladesh vs New Zealand prediction

In the first one-day international between these two sides the other day, New Zealand posted a score of 247-8 in their 50 overs, defending it by 26 runs to take a 1-0 lead. Henry Nicholls and Dean Foxcroft scored half centuries for the Kiwis before Blair Tickner put in a match-winning performance with the ball, taking 4-40 alongside Nathan Smith producing figures of 3-45.

Bangladesh are a difficult team to beat, especially at home, defeating Pakistan in a three-match ODI series last month. New Zealand are always impressive, though, even with an inexperienced side.

That inexperienced side may have trouble backing up wins for now, though, and it is very rare Bangladesh lose back-to-back matches at home, and so siding with Bangladesh after a close contest the other day is the way to go for this one.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand tip: Bangladesh to win
