Bangladesh is a team that is known to stun the big players in the ICC tournament. However, New Zealand has a good batting depth with their pace attack getting the job done.
Bangladesh will get the benefit of the spin track in Chennai but it might not trouble New Zealand’s skilled and experienced batting order. We predict a win for New Zealand on Friday.
