NZ vs BAN: With the overcast conditions at Chennai, the stage is all set for Kane Willamson-led New Zealand to take on Shakib al Hasan-led Bangladesh in the 11th Match of ICC World Cup 2023 at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai today starting at 02:00 PM. This post reads the NZ vs BAN Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><h2>Jump To:</h2><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-weather-forecast">NZ vs BAN Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">NZ vs BAN Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium</a></li></ul></nav></div>



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.



Down below is the NZ vs BAN Weather Forecast And Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium:

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="nz-vs-ban-pitch-report-of-ma-chidambaram-stadium">NZ vs BAN Pitch Report Of MA Chidambaram Stadium</h2>



The pitch at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium has a reputation for frequently offering a level playing surface that is advantageous to both batters and bowlers. A black soil pitch might be used for the NZ vs BAN game. However, because of the dry nature of the surface, spinners often have a little edge.



Now, if we speak statistics, in 35 ODI matches played at the stadium, the side batting first won 17 matches, and equally went to the chasing team, while one game ended in a draw. The first inning's total is often about 230.

ICC WTC Points Table Updated: Bangladesh is set to lock horns against New Zealand in the two-game test series starting tomorrow (November 28). The NZ vs BAN 1st Test will be held at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium. 



While most of the other teams have already begun their World Test Championship (WTC) campaigns, New Zealand and Bangladesh are two of the three teams that haven't yet kickstarted theirs. The likes of India, Pakistan, West Indies, Australia, Sri Lanka and England are already off the mark.



New Zealand's tour of Bangladesh 2023 includes three ODIs and two game test series. While New Zealand have convincingly won the ODI series 2-0, they will fancy their chances in the Test series as well in the spin-friendly conditions.



The Kiwis will brace themselves to continue their dominating run against Bangladesh, who have not managed to go past New Zealand in the test series so far. Twice the test series has been drawn, including the one held in 2021/22. But the Bangla Tigers will aim to go past the winning rope this time.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table</h2>



Talking about the WTC rankings, Pakistan has so far claimed a 100 per cent winning record in the two games they have played in the ongoing cycle. Second-placed are the Indians, who have a 66.67 winning percentage, after playing a test series against West Indies. 



Australia is ranked third in the ICC WTC Points table with 30 per cent winning followed by West Indies (16.67 per cent), England (15 per cent) and Sri Lanka (0.00 per cent).



The remaining three teams - New Zealand, Bangladesh and South Africa - are yet to play a test match after the completion of the last World Test Championship cycle which was clinched by Australia.

NZ vs BAN: The New Zealand Cricket Board (NZC) have named two uncapped players for their debut in the upcoming New Zealand vs Bangladesh ODI series, which starts on December 17, as the cricket board announced a 14-member squad for the ODIs on Thursday.



The likes of Josh Clarkson, Adi Ashok and Will O'Rourke are the three possible debutants for New Zealand as they gear up for the three-game ODI series against Bangladesh. While Clarkson and Will O'Rourke fall under the category of uncapped players, Adi Ashok made his T20I outing against UAE in August.



New Zealand are currently on the tour of Bangladesh comprising three ODIs and two tests. The last of the two-match test series is underway in Dhaka. Following New Zealand's current tour of Bangladesh, which ends on December 10, Bangladesh will travel to New Zealand for a white ball series. 



Bangladesh's tour of New Zealand will have three ODIs followed by as many T20Is. The ODI series begins on December 17 in Dunedin while the T20I series will begin in Napier on December 27.



Senior pros, Kane Williamson and Tim Southee have been rested for the white ball series against Bangladesh. In Williamson's absence, Tom Latham will lead the side. Meanwhile, senior pacer Trent Boult has made himself unavailable for the home series against Bangladesh.



The Kiwi squad features as many as seven players from their last World Cup campaign. The likes of Rachin Ravindra, Ish Sodhi, Adam Milne, Mark Chapman and Will Young among others are all included in the 14-men squad announced by New Zealand.



Below is New Zealand's ODI Squad against Bangladesh. Bangladesh tour of New Zealand 2023:



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New Zealand ODI Squad against Bangladesh</h2>

NZ vs BAN 3rd ODI: Bangladesh Men's Cricket team is currently on a tour of New Zealand for a two-format white ball series which is heading to its final match on the eve of New Year. After a commanding victory over the home side, Bangladesh are already one up in the series as the second match was called off due to rain. Hence, New Zealand will take on Bangladesh in the 3rd T20I at Bay Oval on 31st December and this post will lead you to the NZ vs BAN 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction, New Zealand vs Bangladesh Dream11 Team, Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report.



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-3rd-t-20-i-overview">NZ vs BAN 3rd T20I Overview</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-3rd-t-20-i-expected-playing-11">NZ vs BAN 3rd T20I Expected Playing11</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-3rd-t-20-i-full-squads">NZ vs BAN 3rd T20I Full Squads</a></li><li class=""><a href="#new-zealand-vs-bangladesh-dream-11-team">New Zealand vs Bangladesh Dream11 Team</a></li><li class=""><a href="#nz-vs-ban-3rd-t-20-i-captain-and-vice-captain-picks">NZ vs BAN 3rd T20I Captain And Vice-Captain Picks</a></li><li class=""><a href="#mount-maunganui-weather-forecast">Mount Maunganui Weather Forecast</a></li><li class=""><a href="#bay-oval-mount-maunganui-pitch-report">Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report</a></li></ul></nav></div>



Interestingly, Bangladesh has not lost a T20I series in 2023, and rain on December 29 ensured that they would not lose one in any case. However, they definitely will have bigger plans for the future as they would want to win their first-ever T20I series in New Zealand and round off the year vibrant.



New Zealand's batting let them down in their first-ever T20I loss at home to Bangladesh. In the second Twenty20 International, rain spoilt the fun as New Zealand managed to reach 72/2 after being limited to 134/9 in the first T20I. But there were some moments of struggle for New Zealand in the second game too that they will have an eye on.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/Blackcaps-1.jpg" alt="New Zealand vs Bangladesh, 3rd ODI: Match Details, Expected Playing 11, Full Squad, Head-to-Head and Live Streaming Details" class="wp-image-124407" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">New Zealand vs Bangladesh</figcaption></figure>



Just a remote possibility that the Blackcaps' starting lineup will alter in any way. Given their previous batting woes, there's a chance that Rachin Ravindra will be included in the eleven, although the hosts may opt to start with an unchanged lineup.



Shamim Hossain took Litton Das' place in the second Twenty20 International after the latter sustained a knee injury. If the wicketkeeper-batter has not recovered sufficiently, Bangladesh will most likely field the same eleven as in the previous game.

It doesn't seem to be good weather at all in New Zealand's Mount Maunganui on the eve of New Year. As forecasted by Weather.com, there is a high possibility of rain during the scheduled match hours. A 75-100% sky will be covered by clouds and there are over 80% rain chances. 



A windy, rainy, and cool evening in Mount Maunganui is predicted. There are remote chances but we can hope for some action and a result of the series.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="bay-oval-mount-maunganui-pitch-report">Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report</h2>



Famous for having a level playing surface, Bay Oval gives hitters a chance to score a lot of runs in the first inning because of its good bounce and shorter boundary lines.



However, the surface tends to slow down as the game progresses, giving bowlers an edge in the latter parts of the contest. Not neglecting the weather, as the wickets were covered for extended periods of time.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
