The table toppers New Zealand will look to continue their winning momentum as they face Bangladesh to be played at Chennai on 13th October 2023. Kiwis would be bolstered by the return of their captain Kane Williamson as he missed the first two matches due to injury.
It was a dominating performance by the New Zealand side as they registered a 99-run victory over the Netherlands. After being asked to bat first, the Kiwis scored 322 for 7 and then skittled out the Netherlands cheaply thanks to Mitchell Santer 5 five-wicket haul.
On the other hand, Bangladesh suffered a big loss against England at Dharamshala. They will be looking for their spinners to create pressure on the Kiwi batting lineup.

Pitch Report
It was a tough pitch to bat on as the spinners got help as Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravichandran Ashwin took 7 wickets between them. India bundled out Australia for 199. Despite the struggle initially, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli’s 165-run partnership for the 4th wicket helped India register a comfortable 6-wicket win.
