Bangladesh vs New Zealand Highlights, Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand, India seal semis berth; Pakistan, Bangladesh crash out
New Zealand beat Bangladesh by five wickets in a Champions Trophy Group A match in Rawalpindi on Monday, a result which sent the Kiwis as well as India into the Champions Trophy semifinals.
New Zealand's win meant that Bangladesh and hosts Pakistan, who have lost both their two matches so far, were knocked out of the tournament.
India and New Zealand have four points each from two wins so far in Group A. Top two teams from each group qualify for the semifinals.
Rachin Ravindra (112) struck a magnificent century as New Zealand chased down the target of 237 with 23 balls to spare.
Tom Latham and Devon Conway chipped in with 55 and 30 respectively as New Zealand reached 240 for 5 in 46.1 overs.
Earlier, Michael Bracewell bagged four wickets as New Zealand restricted Bangladesh to a modest 236 for 9 despite skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto's 77.
Bracewell accounted for Tanzid Hasan (24), Mushfiqur Rahim (2), Mahmudullah (4) and Bangladesh's last match centurion Towhid Hridoy (7) to return with impactful figures of 10-0-26-4.

BAN vs NZ Live Score: Missing Shakib, but still dangerous
Bangladesh will be without experienced all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan, who was not selected for the tournament. However, Santner believes they still have enough depth to be competitive.
"Obviously, we've seen how good Shakib has been for a long time," Santner said. "He's proven that he can perform in all conditions. But still, they've got Rishad (Hossain) coming in, who's a very good leg-spinner. Mehidy (Hasan Miraz) has done it. (Mohammad) Mahmudullah, if he plays, can offer some good overs as well, so I think their balance is good at the moment."
With their confidence high, New Zealand will look to maintain their winning momentum against Bangladesh and take another step toward the Champions Trophy semi-finals.

Champions Trophy Live Score: New challenge against Bangladesh
Santner emphasised the need to reset against Bangladesh, acknowledging the different conditions and opposition.
"Again, it's probably a reset because it's a different surface, a different team, but I think the way different guys have been performing is pleasing," he said.
Bangladesh lost their opening match against India in Dubai but remain a strong side, according to Santner. "I think they're a very good team at the moment," he said. "They've always had the spin department covered, but now they've got some very good quick bowlers coming through."

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score: Confidence from tri-series success
"It's a nice position to have," Santner said in Rawalpindi on the eve of the match.
"I think obviously the lead-in we had with that tri-nations series and now the guys will take a lot of confidence in that going into the Bangladesh game."
New Zealand showcased their depth in the tri-series, with Glenn Phillips smashing a century against Pakistan, Kane Williamson leading from the front with a hundred against South Africa, and Tom Latham and Will Young both scoring centuries in the final against Pakistan.

Star batter Virat Kohli produced a vintage knock, scoring an unbeaten 100 to steer India to a dominant six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy. Kohli’s match-winning century pushed the defending champions Pakistan to the brink of elimination, leaving them reliant on Bangladesh to keep their hopes alive.
With India virtually sealing their semifinal spot, attention now shifts to the crucial New Zealand vs Bangladesh clash on Monday. The Black Caps, who defeated Pakistan by 60 runs in their opener, will secure qualification with a win. Their strong net run rate (1.200) gives them an edge.
Bangladesh, reeling from a six-wicket loss to India, face a must-win scenario. Their net run rate (-0.408) leaves them in a vulnerable position, and a defeat would knock them out. Bangladesh’s batting lineup, which struggled against India, must step up against New Zealand’s formidable pace attack.

Champions Trophy Live Score: Fielding and bowling concerns for Bangladesh
Despite posting a below-par total, Bangladesh's bowlers put up a commendable fight against India.
However, they lacked enough runs to defend, and their efforts were further hampered by sloppy fielding.
Missed chances proved costly, and against a well-drilled New Zealand unit, they cannot afford similar lapses.
A more disciplined performance in the field will be crucial if they are to compete for survival in the tournament.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score: Bangladesh's batting woes
Bangladesh's top order has been under pressure after a disappointing performance against India.
If not for the 154-run sixth-wicket stand between Jaker Ali and Towhid Hridoy, Bangladesh would have struggled to even cross 100 runs against India in their opening game.
The inability to capitalise on a favourable toss and a poor start with the bat hurt them, highlighting their inconsistency.

BAN vs NZ Live Score: New Zealand's selection dilemma
New Zealand looked clinical in their opening match, and their recent triumph in the tri-series has further helped them adapt to conditions in Pakistan.
However, they now face a selection dilemma with Rachin Ravindra potentially returning from a head injury. His absence saw Devon Conway and Will Young open the innings, with Young making a strong case to retain his place after scoring a century against Pakistan.
Given Young's ability to play spin well and the value of a left-hand-right-hand combination at the top, New Zealand must carefully weigh their options before finalising their playing XI against Bangladesh today.
