The 11th fixture of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will feature New Zealand locking horns with Bangladesh.

Pitch Report:
The MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is known for providing assistance to both batters and bowlers. However, due to its dry nature, the spinners have slightly more advantage. As the game progresses, the wicket slows down at the Chepauk Stadium. The average first inning score of the venue is 224, while the second innings score goes about 205.
Team Analysis:
New Zealand
After missing out first two matches, the Kiwi captain Kane Williamson is likely to make a comeback in the team for their third match against Bangladesh. After losing the 2015 and 2019 World Cup finals, the Black Caps seem to have entered into the season to not let the trophy go out of their hands. The Kiwis, under the guidance of their stand-in captain Tom Latham played brilliantly and took down the reigning champions in their first match before defeating Netherlands.
The batting line-up with the likes of Devon Conway and youngster Rachin Ravindra have performed decently in the last two matches. Not only this, but names like Matt Henry, Mitchell Santner, Glenn Phillips, constitute a strong bowling unit for the team.

Bangladesh
After opening their tournament on a winning note, the Bangla Tigers went down to reigning champions England in their second fixture. In their previous fixture, while Litton Das played a fairly decent inning, the Bangladesh batting order failed drastically after him, until Mushfiqur Rahim gave the team a stability. To be in the race, Shakib Al Hasan and Co. need to work on building stronger partnerships.
Apart from the batters, the bowling unit also delivered a poor performance, which is why the English batters put a mammoth total of 364 on the score board. This shows that they lack collective efforts, which are mandatory to register wins in big tournaments like these.

Tanzid Hasan, Litton Das, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan (c), Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Mahedi Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Shoriful Islam, Mustafizur Rahman
Match Prediction:
Conclusion:
New Zealand have a better chance to win this fixture and defeat Bangladesh to extend their win streak to 3-0 at the ICC ODI World Cup 2023.
