**MATCH PREVIEW:
New Zealand will take on Bangladesh in the third of the 3-match ODI series on Friday.
The Friday has New Zealand take on Bangladesh in the 3rd and the final ODI of the bilateral series which is part of the ODI league, leading to 2023 World Cup.
The Kiwis are a tough nut to crack in their own backyard with the visitors having a huge task in hand in this short tour.
The 1st game saw New Zealand ripping apart the Bangladesh batting lineup by making the most of the conditions
in the day game and in 2nd game New Zealand pulled a win in 49th over chasing 272 runs.
But the away team has a lot of depth and experience which can never be taken for granted.
Even though it is natural to assume that the Kiwis are the favorites in the 3rd game, Bangladesh can spring surprises at the Basin Reserve on Friday.
**Pitch Report:
The surface here in Basin Reserve has got a good bounce and carry.
The quick bowlers will love to bowl on this wicket. Having said that, batsmen can score runs as well if they spend some time settling down.
Both these sides have played two matches on this venue, and New Zealand came out on top on both occasions.
Anything over 260 is a competitive score on this surface.
