BAN vs NZ: The New Zealand cricket team is all set to face the Bangladesh cricket team in their second ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The Black Caps, after a 60-run win over Pakistan, are looking to secure a spot in the semifinals.
On the other hand, Bangladesh, following a six-wicket loss to India, must win their next match. New Zealand has won 33 out of 44 ODIs against Bangladesh, but Bangladesh’s victory over the Kiwis in the 2017 Champions Trophy gives them some confidence.
This game is crucial for both teams in Group A, with very different starts to their campaigns. New Zealand started strong, securing a 60-run win over defending champions Pakistan. The Kiwis put up an all-round strong performance, with centuries from Will Young and Tom Latham setting a solid base. Their bowlers also did their part, making sure Pakistan never got close to the target. New Zealand’s dominant win made a strong statement about their intentions to go far in the tournament.
On the other hand, Bangladesh had a tough start, losing by 6 wickets to India. Despite a brave century from Towhid Hridoy, Bangladesh only managed 265 runs, which India chased down comfortably. The defeat showed a clear gap in class, and Bangladesh will need to bounce back quickly if they want to stay in the race for the semifinals.
Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman, must rise to the challenge against New Zealand’s strong batting lineup. New Zealand, with Mitchell Santner at the helm, is in excellent ODI form. A loss for Bangladesh would severely hurt their semi-final hopes, and they’ll need to regroup quickly. For New Zealand, a win will almost secure their place in the next stage, giving them confidence for the remaining group matches.
