The tour will begin with the first ODI on Friday. This contest will kick off at 10:30 AM IST at Shere Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka. Bangladesh recently thrashed Pakistan 2-1 in the home ODI series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>They have been very dominant at home in their own conditions. New Zealand will see Tom Latham leading a young side. They have a second-string side, which has only 4-5 players, who feature regulalry for the New Zealand national side. All the others will be getting a chance to prove their skillset.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><meta name=\"generator\" content=\"quillbot-gc\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs NZ: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: March 17, 2026 (Friday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 10:30 AM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Shere Bangla National Stadium, Dhaka<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs NZ: Live Streaming Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>The only option to watch the BAN vs NZ 1st ODI will be available on the FanCode app or website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs. NZ: Head-to-Head in ODI<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Total<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Matches<\/strong>: 46<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>New Zealand<\/strong>: 34<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Bangladesh<\/strong>: 11<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>No result\/Tied:<\/strong>&nbsp;01<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs NZ: Ground Pitch Report<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Shere Bangla National Stadium is a good venue for the bowlers. The wicket will be firm to start with, and the bounce will be very good. But as the game goes forward, the spinners are expected to get into the game. The team that bats first has a pretty good record here.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs NZ: Possible XIs<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Bangladesh<\/strong>: Saif Hassan, Tanzid Hasan, Najmul Hossain Shanto, Litton Das (wk), Towhid Hridoy, Afif Hossain, Mehidy Hasan Miraz (c), Rishad Hossain, Taskin Ahmed, Nahid Rana, Mustafizur Rahman<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>New Zealand<\/strong>: Will Young, Henry Nicholls, Nick Kelly, Dean Foxcroft, Tom Latham (C &amp; wk), Muhammad Abbas, Nathan Smith, Josh Clarkson, Ben Sears, William O&#39;Rourke, Jayden Lennox<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>BAN vs NZ: Player to Watch Out For<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Batter<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Litton Das is Bangladesh&#39;s premier batter, and he has good records against all top sides. For New Zealand, captain Tom Latham will have a big role in these tough conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Probable Best Bowler<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Nahid Rana has been excellent with the new ball. He uses his height and bounces out the batter with pace. For New Zealand, William O&#39;Rourke has all the skillsets to perform in these conditions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Today&#39;s<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Match<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Prediction<\/strong>: New Zealand have an inexperienced side, and these will be tough conditions for them. Hence, we predict Bangladesh to win the first ODI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>BAN vs NZ Match 1st ODI, Today&#39;s Match BAN vs NZ, BAN vs NZ Prediction, BAN vs NZ Predicted XIs, Injury Update for BAN vs NZ Match<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<h5><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/live-cricket-score\">Live Cricket Score<\/a><\/h5><p><strong>Disclaimer<\/strong>: The predictions or cricket tips are purely based on the understanding and research of the writer.
