Bangladesh cricket team reached Chennai on Wednesday for the upcoming World Cup match against New Zealand scheduled on October 13.
Bangladesh played the first two matches of the World Cup at the Himachal Pradesh Association Stadium, Dharamsala.
The Tigers started their World Cup campaign on a high note beating Afghanistan in the the first match by six wickets but were defeated by England in the second match by a massive 137 runs at the venue.

New Zealand all-rounder Daryl Mitchell reckoned that he was excited about Bangladesh's spin challenge and stated they the Tigers are world-class in such wickets.
"Chennai mainly offers turning wickets. We have to adapt to the conditions. Bangladesh and Afghanistan are world-class teams in such wickets. I'm excited for the upcoming matches," said Mitchell in the press conference.
