Overview

The clash between New Zealand and Bangladesh does not hold significance from the point of view of qualifying for the semi-final of the T20 World Cup. The Black Caps have won all three Super 10 fixtures and sit on top of the table with six points.

Kane Williamson's side defeated India, Australia and Pakistan in the last match to become the first team to make it to the last four of the tournament. They will be looking for another victory, when they face Bangladesh on Saturday.

Mashrafe Mortaza's side gave away a brilliant chance and a slim hope of qualifying for the semi-final after their one-run defeat to India. They needed two runs off the last three balls of the match but ended up losing three wickets and the match to MS Dhoni's side.

With their last defeat, Bangladesh have been eliminated from the ICC T20 World Cup. New Zealand will be looking for a win in order to finish Group 2 on top of the table.
