Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand has reached Nelson, the city that will host the second match of the ODI series on December 20. The Tigers are in a must-win situation after a 44-run defeat in the opening match. To keep their hopes alive for clinching their first-ever ODI series victory in New Zealand, Bangladesh needs a win at Nelson Cricket Stadium. Let’s analyze the crucial aspects of the venue, including the Saxton Oval Nelson pitch report, ODI records at the ground, and the scorecard from the last ODI match.

Saxton Oval is set to host an ODI match after four long years. The last encounter at this venue took place in 2019 when New Zealand and Sri Lanka faced off. With a modest capacity of just 6,000 people, Nelson Cricket Stadium may not rank among the noisiest cricket grounds. Bangladesh has a history at this venue, having played 3 ODIs here. Among these, the Bangla Tigers suffered defeats in two matches against New Zealand in 2016 but secured a victory against Scotland during the 2015 World Cup.

Saxton Oval Nelson Pitch Report

At Saxton Oval pitch, pacers usually get good pace and bounce which can help create opportunities for them. Although, the ground has a high first-innings average score as the boundaries here are generally smaller. Most of the time score has been chased; so the batting second team may have the upper hand. For that reason, the captain may go to bowl first after winning the toss. Spinners will not get much help from the surface but they will will play their part in the middle overs.

Nelson Weather During NZ vs BAN 2nd ODI

According to AccuWeather, the weather for the upcoming match at Saxton Oval looks pretty good. Expect some clouds, around 50% coverage, but there’s only a slim 3% chance of rain. Daytime temperatures could reach a high of 26 degrees, and it’ll cool down to below 20 in the evening. Overall, it seems like the weather won’t cause any issues for the NZ vs BAN match.
