BAN vs NZ, Match Winner Prediction: Bangladesh will face New Zealand in the 6th match of the ICC Champions Trophy. This match will take place at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 24th February at 2:30 IST.   

Bangladesh

After being disappointed in the first match of ICC Champions against India, Bangladesh is set to bounce back in today’s match. Their last match failed to impress fans and they took defeat at home. In this match, they won the toss and decided to bat first. Towhid Hridoy, a young player who hit his first ODI century, played a brilliant inning, while Jaker Ali came in and contributed with 68 off 144 balls. However, key bowler Rishad Hossain claimed two crucial wickets, while Taskin Ahmed and Mustafizur Rahman each took one wicket.   

New Zealand

On the other hand, New Zealand has been unbeatable since the recent ODIs against Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The team played their first ICC Champions match against Pakistan, in which they won the game by 60 runs. 

Star players Will Young, Tom Latham and Glenn Phillips were the key players whose partnership led the team towards the victory. At first Will Young came and set the match on fire by scoring 107 off 113 balls, whereas Tom Latham scored an unexpected 118 off 104 balls. On the other hand, Glenn Phillips came in last, contributing with a quick-fire 61 off 39 balls.  

The 6th match of ICC Champions Trophy promises to be a thrilling match, where both teams will fight for their entitled positions. Bangladesh lost their last match and seem to bounce back in today’s match, whereas New Zealand is a strong team and are eager to take the final trophy at home.

Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Pitch And Weather Report 

At Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, the pitch is suited for batters. It will offer good bounce and surfaces which help them to set high scores. But as the game progresses, the pitch will go slow which helps spinners to take the bowling attack. Pacers might get early swings and momentum but overall it favors spinners to emerge wickets. At Rawalpindi, a total of 26 matches were played, in which the chasing team won 14 times. Therefore the team that won the toss might prefer to bowl first. However, the batting first managed winning 11 times, that’s why toss will not play a pivotal role in today’s match.
