The University Oval, Dunedin will host the last and the inconsequential ODI between New Zealand and Bangladesh. It’s inconsequential as the hosts have already clinched the series with an unassailable lead of 2-0. But Bangladesh would seek redemption and would look to get some momentum going into the Test series. Keep reading to find out New Zealand vs Bangladesh 3rd ODI Match Prediction.
The first ODI in Napier was heavily dominated by the Kiwis. And the next one in Christchurch almost proved to an action replay of the first. Where Bangladesh scored 232 in the first game, they bundled out for 226 in the next. It was the sole effort of Mohammad Mithun in both the games to take his team to respectable totals.
Martin Guptill scored 117 in Napier and followed it up with 118 in Christchurch. On both occasions, New Zealand won by 8 wickets. Going by the current form of both the teams, it seems hard for the visitors to win a game. However, if the Kiwis look to test the bench strength, Bangladesh could well be in with a chance.
