Another game which is one sided in the World Cup. I mean why we are not able to witness an upset. The match between England and New Zealand was a big upset for England. After that game we haven't witnessed anything similar. As far as I understand there are 4 teams that are dominating this World Cup. You can see thier names on the point table.
Bangladesh did well in getting back into the game. They were once 4 down when they had 81 runs on the scoreboard. As expected Shakib and Rahim were able to form a partnership. Looking into the target, I think it won't be an easy for Bangladesh to defend it.
In the World Cup, not only the match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka was one-sided, but all the matches were one-sided. The way teams are running in this World Cup tournament, 245 runs is nothing for New Zealand but Chennai's wicket could be a problem. Although batting on the wicket is difficult, collecting 245 runs will not be too difficult for the New Zealand batsmen. Out of the five batsmen in the first row, any two batsmen have the capability to take this match out easily.
Bangladesh can bounce back in this match if they can get some early wickets down. If Bangladesh pick up three wickets early and keep New Zealand within 40 runs then the next power play will be easy for Bangladesh. But all things considered, New Zealand is definitely going to secure an easy win in this match.
As Bangladesh's top order batsmen were out, the runs were not supposed to come this far. However, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mahmudullah Riyad's outstanding performance gave Bangladesh a target of 246 runs to New Zealand. It will be very difficult for Bangladesh to secure victory in this match without the outstanding performance of the Bangladeshi bowlers in the second innings.
