Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for the 3rd ODI of the Bangladesh vs New Zealand ODI series 2026 between BAN vs NZ to be played in Chattogram.

After a defeat in the first game, Bangladesh bounced back well to win the second ODI against New Zealand to level the series. Nahid Rana continued his good form and recorded his second fifer in the last five ODI innings.

He bowled tight lengths and ended up with a figure of 5/32 to restrict New Zealand to 198. With the bat, Tanzid Hasan scored a quick 76 off 58 balls to give Bangladesh a flying start. Najmul Hossain Shanto scored 50 runs to take the team over the line. Now, these two sides will meet in the series decider on Thursday.

This contest will start at 10:30 AM IST at Bir Sreshtho Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman Stadium, Chattogram. The batting has been an issue for New Zealand in these conditions. Will Young and Tom Latham have failed in both games. Being the senior batters, they need to take more responsibility.
