NZ vs BAN Dream11 Prediction: New Zealand vs Bangladesh 2nd T20 was to be held on 29th December at Mount Maunganui which could not happen due to rain, this incident has ensured that Bangladesh will not lose this T20 series against New Zealand. Let us tell you that Bangladesh has not lost a single T20 series in the year 2023, this means that the Bangladeshi team will play on Sunday regardless of the result of the match and will end the year 2023 without losing any T20 series.
But if they aim to win their first T20 series against New Zealand, then the end of the year 2023 could be even better for them. It is expected that they will try their best to win this match.
Bangladesh did not do very well in the Asia Cup and Cricket World Cup this year but their progress in T20 this year was much better and positive. This year, Bangladesh defeated England, Ireland, and Afghanistan in the bilateral T20 series and also won the bronze medal by defeating Pakistan along with the second-placed team in the Asian Games.
Bangladesh will hope to end this year with at least a draw in the T20 series with New Zealand or create history by defeating them. While the hosts New Zealand will be hoping to make a strong comeback and try to prevent Bangladesh from creating a historic moment in the T20 format.
Due to poor batting, New Zealand lost their first ODI and first T20 to Bangladesh in this entire series. After being bowled out for just 98 runs in the ODI and being restricted to 134/9 in the T20I, New Zealand reached 72/2 in 10 overs in the second T20I when rain played spoilsport.
However, New Zealand had to struggle a bit in the second match when Alan Finn was out early and Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips were not able to score quickly.
New Zealand will be looking to strengthen their batting while Bangladesh will be looking to play with a strong bowling attack to end 2023 with their fourth bilateral T20 series win of the year.

NZ vs BAN T20 Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report
The pitches of Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui have been helpful for the batsmen. There are boundaries of 60 to 70 meters, making it easier for the batsmen to cross them comfortably. Due to the help of swing in the beginning, it is easier for fast bowlers to take wickets. However, as the match progresses, this pitch becomes easier to bat on.
Spinners have to face challenges during the first innings, but the pitch helps them a lot in the second innings. Playing matches on this ground is a challenging task, providing a balance between swing in the first innings for the fast bowlers and support for the spinners later on.
On this pitch, especially while batting first, more than 190 scores have been made 5 times, out of which the scores are 238 and 243 twice.
Keeping in mind the performances of the last few matches, if the team captain wins the toss, he can choose to bat first to take advantage of the favorable conditions.
