Pitch and Weather Conditions
Get ready for a spin-dominated match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium! The slow pitch supports spin bowling, making it tough for batters to hit through the line. Seamers might have some early bounce and movement, but they’ll struggle once the ball becomes softer. Patience and proper technique will be key for batters to excel on this wicket.

Newzealand vs Bangladesh Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will opt to bat first as chasing becomes tougher at this venue. The dew factor might not play a major role in the outcome of the game as the pitch tends to slow down in the later stages making it tough for the batsman.
Newzealand Preview and Playing XI
New Zealand, a well-oiled machine, is on a winning streak in the World Cup. After comprehensive victories against England and the Netherlands, they are poised to secure their third consecutive win. Their confidence is boosted by a recent 2-0 ODI series win against Bangladesh at home.
Rachin Ravindra, the Kiwis’ star player, has been impressive in the tournament. As a spin-bowling all-rounder, he has excelled in the No.3 spot, scoring unbeaten knocks of 123* against England and 51 against the Netherlands. His presence has greatly strengthened New Zealand’s batting lineup.
Our player to watch out for in this match is Devon Conway. His extraordinary unbeaten 152 against England showcased his brilliance and the threat he poses. As a skilled player against spin bowling, Conway’s performance against Bangladesh’s spinners will be crucial.
Another player to keep an eye on is Daryl Mitchell, a middle-order batter with an impressive average of 43.75 in ODIs this year, including three centuries.
In terms of bowling, Mitchell Santner is expected to be the game-changer on this pitch. The experienced left-arm spinner has the ability to make a significant impact.
New Zealand Playing XI:
Devon Conway, Will Young, Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (c & wk), Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, Mitchell Santner, Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult
Bangladesh Preview and Playing XI
Bangladesh is facing a tough defeat after losing by 137 runs to England. This loss has dropped them to sixth place in the standings and lowered their net rate to -0.653.
But don’t underestimate the Tigers on this pitch. Their spin bowlers will have a field day here, and that will give them a fighting chance. Their star bowler, Shakib Al Hasan, will be crucial on this surface, using his skill and experience to make an impact. Plus, Mahedi Hasan and Mehidy Hasan Miraz will bowl ten overs each, taking advantage of the conditions they excel in. It will be a challenge for the Kiwi batters to score against them.
Keep an eye on Shoriful Islam as well. With 14 wickets in the last 7 matches, he has been impressive with his varied lines and cutters. His performance in the death overs could be a game-changer.
However, Bangladesh’s batting hasn’t been up to par. Aside from Shakib, the team will need other players to step up and contribute to secure a victory.
