Hello, good morning and welcome to CricketCountry’s live cricket blog and updates for the sixth One-Day International (ODI) between Bangladesh versus New Zealand. This is Pramod Ananth, and I will be bringing you the live cricket scores and updates of the game. The match will be played at the Clontarf Cricket Club Ground in Dublin, and it will be an inconsequential clash as New Zealand have already clinched the series. The Kiwis, without some of their key players such as Kane Williamson, have remained unbeaten in this tournament so far and they would want to maintain their record in the last match of this sojourn.

New Zealand are coming off a massive win by 190 runs over the hosts Ireland in their previous match, and have also been bolstered by the return of some of their players who were busy in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Corey Anderson, Matt Henry and Adam Milne are some of the names that have been added in the Kiwis’ camp, which makes the New Zealand side even more formidable for this contest. The ongoing tournament is serving as a excellent opportunity for both New Zealand and Bangladesh as they will be headed into the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.
On the other hand, with just one win in three matches so far, Bangladesh would want to get their act together and produce a strong show. A win in this match would be too much to ask for from a side that has perennially struggled outside the Asian conditions, but Bangladesh would aim to make an impact. After rain washed out their first match against Ireland, Bangladesh played and lost against New Zealand by four wickets in the next match.
Bangladesh registered a huge win when they hammered a hapless Irish side by a big margin of 8 wickets, with more than 130 balls to spare. This has been the only success that Bangladesh have tasted on this tour so far.

Bangladesh: Mashrafe Mortaza (c), Mushfiqur Rahim (wk), Shakib Al Hasan, Tamim Iqbal, Mahmudullah, Rubel Hossain, Sabbir Rahman, Soumya Sarkar, Mosaddek Hossain Saikat, Mustafizur Rahman, Mehedi Hasan, Imrul Kayes, Shafiul Islam, Nasir Hossain, Nurul Hasan, Taskin Ahmed, Sunzamul Islam, Subashis Roy
