After a sad exit from the Asia Cup 2023 Bangladesh will have one last time to asses their main lineup for the forthcoming World Cup 2023. On the other hand, the Kiwis are also heading into this series after succumbing a 3-1 defeat against England. Know all about the Bangladesh vs New Zealand 2023 Schedule, Squads and Head-To-Head records in ODIs.
Talking about the preparation of both the teams for the Cricket World Cup 2023, New Zealand and Bangladesh both teams looked a bit rusty. The bowling department of both teams still looked pretty decent but there are questions that need to be answered in terms of batting.
New Zealand’s top order looked out of touch in the whole series however their middle order did show some form in the recently conducted series. In terms of bowling the return of Trent Boult has significantly bolstered the pace battery of New Zealand.
As far as the Bangladesh national team is concerned they do have a solid bowling lineup for the subcontinent condition which can trouble any batting lineup in the World Cup. If their batters manage to post challenging totals on board then there are chances of Bangladesh to pose a major threat to other teams.
The three-match ODI series between New Zealand and Bangladesh will be a great test for both teams to get to know about their squad’s skills.
