This post reads the NZ vs BAN Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium.

New Zealand have been one of the strongest contenders when it comes to the ICC events. They have shown the purest form of assiduity and hard work and this tournament is no different. New Zealand started the tournament with the services of regular skipper Kane Willamson in the opening clash but he was back in the second.

New Zealand took revenge for the 2019 Final defeat to England in the opening match of the 2023 ODI World Cup. A maiden hundred by Indian-born Rachin Ravindra and a stellar 151* knock from Devon Conway utterly destroyed England's frontline bowlers and won the match by 9 wickets.

New Zealand next fought against Netherlands in their second match. This time they batted first and posted a 300+ runs target and Mitchell Santner was the man for them that day! Santner took a Fifer in his 10 overs leaking just 59 runs and was awarded as the Player of the Match.

Bangladesh, in contrast, won the first match in some fashion against Afghanistan where they bowled out Afghans just over 150 runs and won the game by 6 wickets. Mehidy Hasan Miraj has been in great touch in recent times for them and he was the savior for them that day with his 3 wickets and 57 runs.

Next, they faced England and England ruthlessly punched the Bangladeshi bowlers and it was a one-sided affair right from the start. Shakib Al Hasan and his team lost the match by a massive 137-run margin and dealt a heavy fall in their NRR. Now they have a big match next against New Zealand and they would look to present the maximum resistance against them.
