After a stunning victory in the initial match, the New Zealand team will win the Group A match of the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh on Monday and will field with the target of securing the semi -finals. On the other hand, Bangladesh will have to win by a huge margin to keep their hopes alive. The Kiwi team, who defeated Pakistan by 60 runs in the first match, has a good run rate and will reach close to the semi -finals with a win against Bangladesh. The New Zealand team is performing brilliantly in all aspects of the game. He is benefiting from the recently played tri -series in Pakistan. The exit of Rachin Ravindra will have to face some problems about the final XI. In his absence, Devon Conway and Will Young started the innings and Will Young scored a century against Pakistan and secured their place in the playing XI. It will be interesting to see who the Kiwi team replaces Rachin.
All the weaknesses of Bangladesh were exposed in the match against India and Bangladeshi players would have to perform more than their capacity to ensure victory. After the batting lapse against India, Tauheed and Zakir Ali shared a 154 -run partnership. If both of them were caught, Bangladesh would have failed to cross the 100 mark. Bangladesh bowlers will also have to bowl as a disciplined unit.
