Contrastingly, Bangladesh faced a setback in their previous match against England, where they suffered a 137-run defeat. They currently occupy the sixth spot in the points table with one win from two matches, accumulating two points. Bangladesh started their campaign with a notable victory against Afghanistan, thanks to a remarkable all-round performance by Mehidy Hasan Miraz, who contributed with both bat and ball. However, in their second match, they conceded a massive total of 364/9 against England and were eventually bowled out for 227 in 48.2 overs.
New Zealand’s success in the tournament so far can be attributed to stellar performances from key players like Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra with the bat, along with outstanding bowling efforts from Matt Henry (6 wickets) and Mitchell Santner (7 wickets). The return of their regular captain, Kane Williamson, after missing the initial matches due to injury, adds more stability to their batting lineup.
