New Zealand and Bangladesh will play the first game of the three-match ODI series on Sunday, December 17 at University Oval, Dunedin. New Zealand vs Bangladesh 1st ODI is scheduled to start at 4:00 AM Bangladesh Time.
Bangladesh started their New Zealand tour successfully by defeating New Zealand XI by 26 runs at Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln. Litton Das, Tanzid Hasan Tamim, and Soumya Sarkar also reached half-centuries. They must maintain momentum into the ODI series, but it will be difficult.
Shanto is in great form and will be crucial for the Tigers. Mushfiqur Rahim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz must also use their experience.
However, New Zealand lacks Devon Conway, Mitchell Santner, and other crucial players. The series allows Jacob Duffy, Josh Clarkson, and Adithya Ashok to shine.

Final Words
Batting on this pitch has historically yielded respectable scores (260 on average). Typically, the side that gets the toss will bat first to keep the other team’s score below 280.
As the series begins, it appears like Bangladesh and New Zealand are about evenly matched. The circumstances in the opening one-day international should favor the side chasing. The side that bats second will most likely come out on top.
