Rain is expected to be seen during Wednesday morning at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval. The weather forecast suggests some sort of rain at the venue till 12 PM local time. If the expected weather comes true, we might have a 35 overs aside match.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Bert Sutcliffe Oval usually witnesses the sides batting first scoring 250+. However, on Sunday, there was bit of help for the pacers that helped pacers to strike with the new ball. Teams often prefer to bat second here due to the ground conditions being ideal for chasing. The help for the pacers in the morning will also be a reason for bowling first from now on.

Expert Advice:

There was no update of the toss during the first match this makes predicting the playing XIs crucial. Bangladesh fielded their core group and are unlikely to make changes before one more win. New Zealand Under-19s selected 18 players for this series as a development squad for the upcoming U19s World Cup. Their debacle in the first ODI could lead to a couple of change to the lower-order and bowling all-rounders.

Probable Winners:

Bangladesh Under-19s are expected to go 2-0 up in this series.
