In the sixth fixture of the Champions Trophy 2025, Bangladesh will face New Zealand at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The tournament will run from 19 February to 9 March 2025 and involves the top eight ranked men’s national teams. Group A has Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and New Zealand, while Group B has Australia, England, Afghanistan, and South Africa.
Because there are only three games per team, each and every match is like a virtual knockout. Therefore, it is the Champions Trophy 2025, making the competition very tense and fierce. New Zealand and Bangladesh have competed in 45 ODIs against each other- New Zealand has won 33 to Bangladesh’s 11.
New Zealand started well with a victory over defending champions Pakistan by 60 runs. In contrast, Bangladesh lost against India by six wickets. It was a fighting effort from Bangladesh after being reduced to 35/5, when they managed to set 228 on the back of a brilliant partnership between Hridoy and Jaker Ali.
They had a fighting chance with the ball but lost in the end. Therefore, they will be looking for a turnaround, making it an entertaining fixture. With both seeking vital points, the match is bound to be an interesting contest.

Who Will Win the Match?
The Bangladesh-New Zealand series is poised to be a mouthwatering contest. Based on past performances, New Zealand holds a slight edge over Bangladesh as the New Zealanders have won 33 of the 45 ODI matches. However, Bangladesh’s recent performance against India, in which they crawled back to score 228 after being 35/5, showed their grit and determination.
So New Zealand’s early success in the tournament against Pakistan with a 60-run win gives them an advantage, but Bangladesh will be keen to resurrect their previous defeat against India, turning the match into an exciting contest.
