New Zealand and Bangladesh will fight for 2 points today in Chennai and probably they are going to receive a turning in this ground so this will be a low scoring tight game. New Zealand will look to reach the top of the table with two more points and Bangladesh will fight to cement a strong position in the points table. Today both teams will rely on their bowlers to win for their team and both teams have great bowlers who can turn the game with their bowling. Spinners are going to be most important for both teams to make an extra impact. Bangladesh has some best spinners in their team so New Zealand has to be aware of what they are doing white they are in the crease. There are many players in both teams to send most batters into the pavilion so here I am predicting 3 probable players to top in the list.
Mitchell Santner
New Zealand bowling all rounder Mitchell Santner is going to feel comfortable at this venue because as we all know Santner is playing with CSK for a long time and he has a decent experience of bowling. Having Ravindra Jadeja as another option MS Dhoni didn’t use him much but he has played 3 matches here where he picked 3 wickets with the economy of 6. Mitchell Santner is in good form for Bangladesh batters to pick him easily. Santner is sitting at the top of the most wickets list with 7 wickets in 2 games, so bowling in a friendly condition could make him uncatchable in this list.

Shakib – Al – Hasan

Bangladesh captain is a very experienced all rounder with excellent bowling skills. Shakib has a lot of knowledge of the game. He has played 5 IPL games at this venue with different teams and picked 3 wickets which is not a very good stat but he’s gonna have a plus point while bowling and batting too. Shakib has picked 4 wickets in two games and there is much possibility that he is going to increase these numbers in today’s game. Being a captain there is also a big pressure in his mind and he is a kind of player who loves to play in conditions which are challenging for him and his team.
Matt Henry
Matt Henry is the only non spinner in this list just because of his form in this running tournament. He has picked 6 wickets in this world cup and shares the second position with India’s Jasprit Bumrah. Matt loves to play in India. He played 4 ODI games here and picked 9 wickets with the economy of 5.15 which is second best after his home. Henry is one of the most underrated fast bowlers in world cricket. He is an expert performing well in ICC tournaments; he took 14 wickets in 9 games in the 2019 season and helped his team to reach the finals. Everyone’s eyes will be on him in today’s game. He can also prove to be the trump card of his team.
