When and Where to Watch New Zealand vs Bangladesh, Live Streaming, Match Preview, Timings, and Pitch Report for 2nd ODI

New Zealand absolutely decimated the Bangladesh outfit in the first ODI at Dunedin. There was nothing that went the visitors’ way as they were steamrolled by 8 wickets by the Black Caps. The Bangladesh batting line-up came a cropper as Trent Boult’s swing and guile proved to be their undoing.

In fact, not a single Bangladesh batsman could even cross the 30-run mark, as the visitors were bowled out for a paltry score of 131. In reply, the Kiwis cantered home with ease. Martin Guptill scored a whirlwind 38 off just 19 deliveries, and Henry Nicholls scored a sedate 49 as the hosts drew first blood in the three-match ODI series.

The Bangladesh side has a lot of work to do heading into the second ODI on 23rd March 2021, as a loss in the second rubber would mean that they would lose the ODI series. To give their bowlers any chance, the batting will have to click if the Tigers lose the toss again. Either way, the top six of Bangladesh will have to give their best to help the team put up a fight.

New Zealand, on the other hand, would themselves want to be pushed a bit by the opposition so that their inexperienced players like Will Young and Devon Conway are tested. Their bowlers, however, will be keen on hunting the Tigers as early as possible like they did in the series opener.

Pitch and Conditions

The bowlers will get a lot of purchase at the Hagley Oval. The ball will nip around early on, and the batsmen will have to be a little cautious to emerge successful on this surface.
