The 6th match of the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy will see Bangladesh face off against New Zealand on Monday, February 24, 2025, at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This Group A Day/Night clash is set to be an exciting encounter as both teams look to build momentum in the tournament.
New Zealand kicked off their tournament with an impressive win against Pakistan, the defending champions and hosts, and have remained unbeaten so far, having played just one match. Their all-round performance was outstanding, with Will Young and Tom Latham smashing centuries, while skipper Santner and William O'Rourke each picked up three wickets.
On the other hand, Bangladesh faced a tough challenge against India in their opening match of the 2025 Champions Trophy. Despite a fighting effort from Towhid Hridoy, who scored a century, and Jaker Ali, who contributed 68 off 114 balls, Bangladesh could only manage a total of 228. India chased down the target comfortably, leaving Bangladesh with plenty to work on in both batting and bowling for their upcoming matches.In the recent last five meetings between them, New Zealand won 4 out of the 5 matches, while Bangladesh secured 1 victory.
Head-to-Head : New Zealand vs Bangladesh
The two teams have squared off 45 times in ODIs, with New Zealand holding a dominant record, winning 33 matches compared to Bangladesh's 11 victories. One encounter ended without a result. When it comes to the Champions Trophy, the sides have faced each other twice, with each team claiming one victory.
In their most recent clash at the 2017 Champions Trophy, Bangladesh pulled off a stunning upset by defeating New Zealand by 5 wickets. Chasing down a challenging target of 265 set by the Blackcaps, Bangladesh's response was led by the brilliance of Shakib Al Hasan and Mahmudullah, both of whom scored magnificent centuries. Their calm and composed approach guided Bangladesh to victory, with New Zealand failing to defend their total. This loss marked a disappointing end for New Zealand, who were unable to capitalize on their total despite setting a challenging target. However, this time around, Shakib Al Hasan, who was instrumental in that win, will not be part of Bangladesh's squad, making their lineup and approach to this encounter all the more intriguing.
