Shakib al Hasan suffered a crushing 137-run loss in the last game. It was a poor show from the bowling unit as they allowed England to post an imposing total of 364 runs. They must put this performance behind them and produce a better show in this game. New Zealand is in good form, and Shakib and his men must be at their best to defeat them.
Litton Das played well in the last game, but he will need support at the other end from Tanzid Hasan, who has failed in both games. The middle order collapsed with Najmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz falling for single-digit scores, and they have a vital role in the middle order.

TOSS: To Bat First
The last game here saw around 400 runs scored between the two sides. It is a difficult wicket to bat on, especially in the second half when the ball swings and turns. The side winning the toss in this game won't hesitate to bat first and aim at putting up a big total on the board.
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
We expect clear skies over Chennai and a hot and humid day. The wicket shall be two-paced, where batsmen have to be watchful against the spinners. Batsmen must rotate strike and choose their strokes wisely. The side batting first in this game shall be happy to have 280 runs on the board.
OUR PREDICTION
Bangladesh's bowlers will have a confidence problem heading into this contest. The conditions in Chennai will suit their bowling strength, but the side needs to show more discipline with the ball to win here. New Zealand has already announced its intentions in the two games they have played. The top order is in good form, making them favorites to win according to our World Cup betting guide.
Our Prediction is for New Zealand to win.
