New Zealand and Bangladesh are going to clash in the much-awaited 6th match of the Champions Trophy 2025. With Bangladesh in a do-or-die situation, the match is going to be an exciting affair which is to be staged at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The match is scheduled for February 24 and the live action will begin from 2:30 PM IST.
Bangladesh will be eager to bounce back after their six-wicket loss to India in the opening game. Despite a shaky start, Towhid Hridoy’s brilliant century provided some hope, but the bowlers failed to defend the total. With experienced players like Mushfiqur Rahim, Mahmudullah, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz and Mustafizur Rahman in the lineup, Bangladesh will look to put up a stronger fight against a confident New Zealand side.
Meanwhile, New Zealand began their campaign on a high note with a dominant 60-run win over Pakistan. Centuries from Will Young and Tom Latham powered them to a strong total, while the bowlers, led by Mitchell Santner, dismantled Pakistan’s batting lineup. With a well-balanced squad and players in top form, the Black Caps will be confident heading into their clash against Bangladesh.
Ahead of the match, here's a detailed look at the BAN vs NZ head-to-head records in ODIs.
