New Zealand vs Bangladesh Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for 3rd ODI - March 26th, 2021

The third ODI between New Zealand and Bangladesh is set to take place at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Friday.

New Zealand already clinched the series with an imperative run chase in the previous game. Although they were put to the sword by the Bangladesh bowlers, captain Tom Latham slammed a wonderful ton to guide the Kiwis home. Despite already bagging the series, New Zealand will be eyeing a clean-sweep going into the final fixture.

However, Bangladesh aren't pushovers by any means. Led by Tamim Iqbal, the Asian outfit nearly pulled off a series-levelling win, courtesy of a fine bowling performance. With the likes of Mohammad Mithun and Taskin Ahmed impressing in the series, Bangladesh will fancy a win in the third and final ODI.

Although the Kiwis are the clear favorites to clinch a win in Friday's match as well, if the second ODI was an indication of what the visitors are capable of, we should be in for a cracking game of cricket at the Basin Reserve.

Pitch Report

The Basin Reserve is known for high-scoring fixtures, and it shouldn't be any different on Friday either. The batsmen should relish the ball coming onto the bat, with the short dimensions of the ground also helping their cause. However, the pacers should get some extra bounce, which will keep the batters on their toes. With there being little to no turn on offer, the spinners might not play a huge role. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 270-280 being a good total at the venue.
