BAN vs NZ head-to-head Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh will take on New Zealand in the 6th ODI match as part of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. It will be the second fixture as a day-night match for both teams in this tournament which will commence at 2:30 PM IST on February 24, 2025 (Monday). Bangladesh is struggling to stamp one victory while New Zealand is looking to confirm entrance to the semi-final.
Bangladesh failed to surprise this time staying on the losing side against India despite winning the toss. It was contradictory to headlines made during a recent T20 series victory by 3-0 against West Indies. After the top order collapsed, Towhid Hridoy stitched the partnership with his decisive century (100 runs off 118 balls) to take the Tigers from 35/5 to an extended score of 228 runs to stay in the game. However, it was not sufficient as this match was against one of the major contenders of this tournament, team India against which the bowlers stayed ineffective. With a lack of a competitive target, only Rishad Hossain who dismissed Virat Kohli and Axar Patel early on, fought hard. Knowing that one more defeat will bring an exit, Bangladesh will look for rebounding.
As expected New Zealand team is leading with a couple of match-winners. Beating Pakistan overwhelmingly on their home soil again is a formidable start to the tournament. The replacement of injured Rachin Ravindra, Will Young thrashed the bowling side with his 107 runs off 113 balls, while Tom Latham also alerted other teams with a second century in that match recording 118 runs off 104 balls. In response, Pakistan gave up as Will O’Rourke bowled the hopes of the home team with three wickets. Now, Kiwis are eying on finishing at the top of the points table for Group A.
These two teams will fight in a 50-50 overs format of cricket in Champions Trophy 2025. Here is everything you need to consider about Bangladesh vs New Zealand head-to-head and stats, including the schedule and key players.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Top Players
Bangladesh
Bangladesh is missing out on top run scorers like Litton Das and Shakib Al Hasan. Led by Nazmul Hossain Shanto, the Tigers have expectations from Soumya Sarkar and recent century maker Towhid Hridoy. In the middle order, Jaker Ali powers Bangladesh to put a better score on the board. The bowling unit has a major dependency on pacer Taskin Ahmed and fast-medium bowler Mustafizur Rahman. In recent matches, Rishad Hossain outperformed taking three wickets frequently.
New Zealand
It is very predictable that the New Zealand team has batters who can swap the responsibilities in case one fails. In the top order, Will Young is in good form, and the middle order has solid batting coming from the bat of Daryl Mitchell. The tactical batting prowess is relevant for Tom Latham who stayed not out in the last match. The explosive inning from Glenn Philips is expected to push the button of the accelerator moving the score very quickly. Pacer Will O’Rourke and spinner Mitchell Santner (Captain) are doing well to put the opponent under pressure with regular wickets in a match.
