Hello and welcome
Bangladesh take on New Zealand in the ninth match of the ongoing World Cup and both teams come off impressive wins and will look to carry forward the momentum in this game. Bangladesh would have derived plenty of confidence from the win against SA, but then would be wary against the threat of Trent Boult and company.
