New Zealand ended their seven-match losing streak against Bangladesh away from home, with an 86-run victory in the second game. However, Bangladesh do have resources in both batting and bowling departments to bounce back and level the series.
Our Prediction: Bangladesh to win this match at 83/100 (1.83).
