Bangladesh is to clash with New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on February 24, 2025. A win here will see New Zealand advance to the semifinals; they opened the tournament with a victory over Pakistan. In that game, New Zealand scored massively-320 runs-with both Will Young and Tom Latham making centuries, while their bowlers shot Pakistan out for just 260.¹
Bangladesh, on the other hand, must find redemption following their six-wicket loss to India. Though they were left struggling at 5 for 35, Bangladesh showed fine spirit in putting up 228 runs, thanks mainly to a partnership of 146 runs between Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali. Rishad Hossain emerged as the leading Bangladesh bowler, taking two wickets for just 38 runs in 10 overs.
