BSS, Dhaka :
After losing the series, Bangladesh now look to restore their lost pride winning their third and last ODI of the three-match series scheduled to be held today (Saturday) at Saxton Oval, Nelson, New Zealand.
The match starts at 4 am (BST).
The Tigers have to shows good batting and bowling efforts if, they want to win.
While the batting sparkled in the first game chasing 342, it completely disintegrated in the second chasing 252.
Their bowling did a fine job in the second match, with the captain Mashrafe Mortaza leading the way, bouncing back after conceding 341 in the first.
If the Tigers are able to deliver in all three departments in the final game, Bangladesh should threaten New Zealand. If one of these fails again, the home side will comfortably win series 3-0.
On the other hand, despite clinching the series with a 67-run win in the second game, New Zealand wouldn’t want to spoil their unbeaten record at home against Bangladesh.
By bringing offspinner Jeetan Patel into the squad for the third ODI, they showed they are being far from complacent. Bangladesh, meanwhile, will be desperate to win and end the year in a reasonable mood, given how they were outclassed in the first two games.
New Zealand will be without Trent Boult, who took two wickets in the second game, but they would bank on Tim Southee and the rest of the bowlers to bring home a series whitewash.
Hundreds from Tom Latham and Neil Broom made sure that they didn’t lose their way completely in the first two games, but their runs also papered over the cracks in the batting line-up.
There may not be changes to the pace bowling line-up for Bangladesh, but given their performance in the first two ODIs, Mehedi Hasan could replace debutant Tanbir Haider.
It might look like a rash decision to drop someone after just one game, but it is a possibility.
Teams:
Bangladesh (probable) :Tamim Iqbal, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah, Shakib Al Hasan, Sabbir Rahman, Mosaddek Hossain, Nurul Hasan (Wicketkeeper), Tanbir Haider, Mashrafe bin Mortaza (Captain), Taskin Ahmed, Mustafizur Rahman.
New Zealand (probable): Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Kane Williamson (Captain), Neil Broom, James Neesham, Colin Munro, Luke Ronchi (Wicketkeeper), Jeetan Patel, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Lockie Ferguson.
