Though Bangladesh have a favourable recent record against New Zealand, they are still to win an ODI against them outside Bangladesh
Shiva Jayaraman12-Mar-20157-3 Bangladesh’s win-loss record against New Zealand in the last ten ODIs between the teams. Their win-loss ratio of 2.33 against New Zealand in ODIs since 2010 is their best versus any team against whom they have played more than one ODI. However, all these seven wins for Bangladesh have come at home. New Zealand’s seven losses against Bangladesh in ODIs since 2010 is also the second most they have lost against any team. New Zealand have lost nine games out of the 20 they have played against Sri Lanka since 2010. Bangladesh have lost all the 11 ODIs they have played against New Zealand away from home.3-0 New Zealand’s win-loss record against Bangladesh in the World Cup. The last time these two teams played each other in the World Cup was in 2007 when New Zealand won comfortably by 9 wickets with 124 balls to spare. The other two wins for New Zealand were comfortable as well: they won by seven wickets and 99 balls to spare in 2003, and by six wickets and 102 balls to spare in 1999.4.10 Bangladesh’s economy rate in the mandatory Powerplays in this World Cup – the second-best for any team after Zimbabwe’s 3.20. Bangladesh, however, will be bowling to a team that has the best scoring rate of 8.16 in these overs. Australia are a distant second-best in the mandatory Powerplays with a scoring rate of 6.27.229 Runs scored by Brendon McCullum in the mandatory Powerplays out of a total of 249 runs in this series. In World Cups since 1999, Adam Gilchrist has scored the most runs by a batsman in the first ten overs: he had scored 276 runs from 10 innings in 2003 at a strike rate of 106. McCullum has scored at exactly double that rate, 212. No other batsman with at least 20 runs in the first ten overs has struck at a faster rate than McCullum has in this World Cup.

South Africa’s bowlers have taken two wickets more than New Zealand but have played one game more. New Zealand and India are the only teams who have managed to bowl out their opposition in all the games they have played so far. New Zealand’s average of 16.34 and their economy of 4.17 is the best for any team in this World Cup.0 Number of centuries by New Zealand batsmen in this World Cup. Their batsmen have in all hit six fifties, three of which came in their first game against Sri Lanka and three have come from their captain Brendon McCullum. McCullum’s 77 against England, while New Zealand’s highest score, is also the lowest high score for a team in the tournament. However, their batsman haven’t had to do much in this series, with bowlers doing bulk of the work, restricting their opposition to sub-200 scores in all the four matches they have bowled first.60.1 Percentage of Bangladesh’s runs in this World Cup that their middle-order has scored for them – the second-highest contribution by any team’s middle-order. Bangladesh have relied on their middle-order to shore up their innings in this series with their top order (No. 1 to No. 3) contributing just 31.6% of team’s runs: among the lowest contribution by any team’s top order in this World Cup.3 Number of times McCullum has been dismissed by Rubel Hossain in just ten deliveries in ODIs. Shafiul Islam – Bangladesh’s replacement for Al Amin Hossain – has also dismissed McCullum three times, in 34 balls. McCullum’s record against Bangladesh hasn’t been good: he averages 20.18 against them in 17 innings and has scored 323 runs including two fifties, the lowest he averages against any team from more than two innings. McCullum’s last five ODI innings against Bangladesh have had two ducks and he has eight single-digit scores in his 17 innings against them.18.10 Daniel Vettori’s bowling average against the current Bangladesh players. He has taken 10 wickets at an economy of 3.34. Shakib Al Hasan has got out to Vettori four times in 99 deliveries and has scored only 64 runs off those.
