READ: Here's how the qualification scenario for semi-final stage looks like




New Zealand has failed to befriend luck when they flew down to England for the ICC Champions Trophy 2017. Kiwis' attempt to grab a victory against trans-Tasmanian rival Australia in their opener, was washed out by the torrential rainfall in London. Against England, skipper Kane Williamson's knock of 87 did put Blackcaps on a comfortable march towards a stiff 311-run target. But a brilliant bowling spell from Liam Plunkett (4/55) and Jake Ball (2/31) halted their race ahead.


For Bangladesh, much has been the same. They started off with a defeat against the host nation, despite some ravishing knocks from Tamim Iqbal (128) and Mushfiqur Rahim (79). In their second match, rain intervened, forcing them to share a point each with Australia.


The two teams have met quite often in the last six months and thus are aware of each other's weaknesses. Back in December, Kane Williamson's men grabbed a 3-0 ODI series win against the Bangla Tigers on home soil. More recently, it was only last month that the two clashed in a tri-nation series. Although New Zealand thumped down Bangladesh in their first encounter, the latter avenged their thirst with a 5-wicket victory, a week later. Thus, it is New Zealand who hold the upper edge.


Heading into the game, Bangladeshi batsmen have to come forth all guns blazing against the formidable pace attack of the Kiwis. They can't afford to rely on opener Tamim Iqbal all the time. Soumya Sarkar, Imrul Kayes, Mahmudullah and Sabbir Rahman have to contribute strongly to the total.


As far as the bowling is concerned, Mustafizur Rahman needs to find an alternative to get onto the nerves of the batsmen. The bowling attack should head in with a clear plan of knocking down the daunting batting trio of Martin Guptill, Luke Ronchi and Kane Williamson early into their innings to draw momentum.


And about rain – surprising as it may sound, but a heavy shower there at Cardiff would bid adieu to New Zealand, while Bangladesh can still keep their hopes alive, provided England can beat Australia by a big margin.


Squads:


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


New Zealand: Kane Williamson(c), Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Neil Broom, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Mitchell McClenaghan, Adam Milne, James Neesham, Jeetan Patel, Luke Ronchi, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor
