After winning the first two matches of the tournament comprehensively, New Zealand A suffered back to back losses with the latest coming against Victoria Academy by six wickets, where they failed to defend a score of 151 runs.
Batting has been a big upset in the last two matches for New Zealand A, where their top order batters haven't quite scored runs early on, as a result the middle order was put under pressure. Bevon Jacobs (77 runs in 3 matches) and Matthew Boyle (73 runs in 3 matches) are the top run-scorers.
While with the ball they have done exceptionally well led by left arm spinner Jayden Lennox with 8 wickets and he is well supported by off-spinner Aditya Ashok who has six wickets to his tally. In the pace bowling department Zakary Neil Gibson has the most effective bowler with 5 wickets.
New Zealand A Predicted Playing XI:
Tim Robinson, Katene Clarke, Max Chu (C), Bevon Jacobs, Muhammad Abbas, Mitchell Hay (wk), Dean Foxcroft, Kristian Clarke, Zak Gibson, Aditya Ashok, Ben Lister

Bangladesh High Performance XI Preview
Bangladesh High Performance XI suffered their first loss of the season after winning their opening three matches, falling to Adelaide Strikers Academy by 21 runs. Opting to field first, Bangladesh’s bowlers put in a disciplined effort to restrict the Academy side to 164/9.
Abdul Gaffar Saqlain was the standout bowler, claiming four crucial wickets, while Md Rubel supported him well with three dismissals to trigger a late lower-order collapse.
Chasing a target of 165, Bangladesh HP-XI got off to a disastrous start, losing Jishan Alam on the very first ball. Ariful Islam anchored the innings with a fighting 66 off 54 balls, and Habibur Rahman added 23, but the rest of the batting order failed to step up.
A sudden middle-order collapse, orchestrated by Lachlan Bangs' four wickets, derailed the chase completely as Bangladesh finished on 143/9 in their 20 overs. Bangladesh are at 2nd place on the table and a win here against New Zealand A will solidify their spot in the top two.
Bangladesh High Performance XI Predicted Playing XI:
Jishan Alam, Habibur Rahman Sohan, Ariful Islam, Sabbir Rahman, Irfaan Shukkur (c & wk), Shamim Hossain, Abdul Gaffar Saqlain, Abu Hider, Rakibul Hasan, Ripon Mondol, Md Rubel
