Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rachin Ravindra has settled into his groove.
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Riding on Rachin Ravindra (112) and Tom Latham (55) solid knock, New Zealand outclassed Bangladesh by five wickets to register a place in the semifinals alongside India. 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....Read More
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.
Pakistan first needed New Zealand to lose to Bangladesh today in order to start the arduous process of ensuring their safety, but the Kiwis have been clinical throughout this match. On the other hand, Bangladesh, particularly their batters, have almost looked out of their depth.
Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana helped Bangladesh get off to a very good start defending a target of just 237. Taskin dismissed Will Young first over to start off with a wicket-maiden and Rana then got the all-important wicket of Kane Williamson two overs later. However, Rachin Ravindra has since steadied the boat, first with a strong stand with Devon Conway and then with Tom Latham. Ravindra has cruised past fifty.
Bangladesh have been restricted to a score of 236/9 by New Zealand and the Kiwis need to chase down a target of 237 to seal a place in the semi-final of the Champions Trophy. Bangladesh could get no momentum into their innings despite the pitch in Rawalpindi apparently being very good for batting. New Zealand, on the other hand, were on the money throughout and hardly let anything go in the field.
Michael Bracewell bowled 10 overs on the trot on a pitch that is doing absolutely nothing for the bowlers and finished with figures of 4/26. He is the first New Zealand spinner to take a four-wicket haul in the Champions Trophy since 2000. Mahmudullah was his fourth wicket while Mushfiqur Rahim was third. They were Bangladesh's most experienced batters but practically threw their wickets away. Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto, meanwhile, has hung around at the other end and scored a half-century.
Towhid Hridoy, Bangladesh's centurion from their first match against India, looked set to do yet another rebuilding job, this time with captain Najmul Hossain Shanto at the other end, but he fell trying a big shot in the 21st over. New Zealand have applied the squeeze on Bangladesh after taking two early wickets.
New Zealand earlier won the toss and chose to bowl first in Rawalpindi.Captain Mitchell Santner announced two changes to the squad - Daryl Mitchell is ill and so Rachin Ravindra returns in his place while Kyle Jamieson also makes a comeback after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with injury.
Currently in good form, New Zealand are one step closer from progressing to the semi-finals of the ongoing 2025 Champions Trophy. The Black Caps began their campaign with a convincing 60-run victory over hosts Pakistan, and now take on Bangladesh in their second fixture. On the other hand, Bangladesh lost to India by six wickets in their opener, and need a win to get their campaign back on track.
If New Zealand win in Rawalpindi on Monday, then their place in the semi-finals will be confirmed, along with Group A opponents India. Bangladesh have been in poor form lately, and their top-order batters Soumya Sarkar and skipper Najmul Hossain Shanto were dismissed for ducks against India. They would not have got to 228, if it wasn’t for Jaker Ali’s 68, and he was dropped in the first ball by Rohit Sharma. Meanwhile, Towhid Hridoy got his maiden ODI ton, but will be disappointed that it didn’t result in a win. Meanwhile, Mahmudullah, who missed out the clash vs India due to a hamstring injury, is expected to return to the playing XI.
The Bangladesh team management will also hope for a better performance from their bowling department. Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain and Mehidy Hasan Miraz have failed to dominate, and Nahid Rana hasn’t lived up to his potential.
For the Black Caps, Glenn Phillips will be key, and he perfectly showed it with his sensational catch to dismiss Mohammad Rizwan in the previous fixture. His presence down the order will be crucial as New Zealand will look to accelerate, and he is also handy as an offspinner who can get wickets. Rachin Ravindra was rested against Pakistan, after receiving a forehead injury in the recent tri-series. In his absence, Devon Conway has opened with Young, who got a ton in the previous game. Meanwhile, Conway has registered scores of 97, 48 and 10 as an opener.
The pitch in Rawalpindi is usually batting-friendly, and also provides a little bit of help to pacers (if the ball is new and shiny). Meanwhile, the weather is not expected to play spoilsport, and it will be a cloudy affair.
Here are some pointers to Bangladesh vs New Zealand from the Champions Trophy:

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand have gone past 150. A good crowd had started to build up here, a lot of them Pakistanis, when the Bangladesh pacers made the Kiwis uncomfortable in the first 12 overs. However, whatever slender chances Pakistan of staying alive hinged on Bangladesh winning today. It will take a collapse of epic proportions from New Zealand for that to happen now.

The last is a full toss down leg side, Ravindra goes for the glance to guide it away but the ball pops up in the air. It lands safely and Ravindra runs two with a smile on his face.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh turning it up in the field! New Zealand 58/2 in 12 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: This is good desperation from Bangladesh, they are not letting it go at all. Mustafizur Rahman was introduced in the 10th over; he continues in the 12th; Ravindra clips the second ball leg side. He goes for a suicide run, Tanzid rushes to the ball, picks it up but can't hit the stumps with the throw! Then Ravindra wanders up the pitch last ball of that over, direct hit comes and the batter is just about safe.
Feb 24, 2025 7:24 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: 12 runs in the 8th! Some momentum at last for NZ, 40/2 in 8 overs

Then a dot ball fifth ball and then another full ball outside off, Conway brings out the cover drive for another four.
Conway on 22 off 25, Ravindra on 13 off 13.

Feb 24, 2025 6:58 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: GONE! It's Williamson!
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Edged again off Rana and this time Williamson goes! Rana fires it in north of 145kph, fullish ball outside off stump. It moves away slightly, Williamson driving away from his body. That is not something you see the New Zealand captain do too often. It takes the edge and Mushfiqur has a straightforward catch.
Kane Williamson c Mushfiqur Rahim b Nahid Rana 5 (4)
Feb 24, 2025 6:57 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Lucky edge for Williamson! New Zealand 5/1 in 2 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Nahid Rana bowls the second over, the fifth ball is a length ball outside off. Williamson pokes at it with soft hands, takes the edge and goes past first slip to the boundary. Bangladesh are right on top of New Zealand early on here.

Feb 24, 2025 6:41 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Now for the New Zealand chase
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Will Young is out there with Devon Conway. The former facing up to Taskin Ahmed. New Zealand need just 237 to win, absolutely no need for these two to rush off to a quick start.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: 'We saw in the powerplay it was great to bat,' says Bracewell
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The four-fer man Michael "Beastie" Bracewell talks to the host broadcasters. “It's a funny one, once you let go of the ball, you don't have much control. Today was my day. (On getting the ball to drift) Some lovely wind out there, nice to get some assistance from the wind, coming from Wellington, I bowl with a lot of wind. The athleticism is amazing in our group, that's something we try as a team, to try and put our bodies on the deck and make sure the opportunities are taken. The breeze took that catch (Shanto's) away from me. Hopefully it slides on a bit in the second innings. We saw in the powerplay it was great to bat, hopefully we can get off to a good start and carry that through.”
Feb 24, 2025 6:12 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh 236/9 in 50 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: They finish with a run rate of 4.72 on what still looks like a flat pitch. They have finished with the kind of score that teams are managing to score in T20Is nowadays. Bracewell got four wickets but that was largely because the Bangladesh batters were either looking to block the ball or go for broke. More than half of this innings were dot balls. Jamieson bowled nine overs and took a wicket, which is extremely important for New Zealand in the context of this tournament and beyond.
New Zealand need to chase a target of 237 today. Can they chase it down quickly and take some juicy NRR goodies in the process?
Feb 24, 2025 6:02 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: GONE! Jaker Ali run out trying to steal a bye
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Henry bowls it wide to Taskin first ball of the 49th over. Swing and miss and Jaker dashes forward for the single. Latham underarms it to the stumps at the striker's end and Jaker is gone for all money. This was the first ball of the second last over, there were 11 deliveries left. Did Jaker need to take that run? Questions, questions...
Jaker Ali run out (Latham) 45 (55)
Feb 24, 2025 5:52 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: 11 runs in the 46th! Bangladesh 213/7
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Jaker Ali does a baseball homerun-type swing fifth ball of the 46th over, the ball smashes into the advertising board behind deep midwicke. Well Jaker is playing a very handy role here towards the end. He has moved to 40 off 51 balls, Taskin Ahmed at the other end on one off nine.
Feb 24, 2025 5:42 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: OUT! That's the end of Rishad's cameo; Bangladesh 196/6 in 43 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rishad takes a big swipe at the first ball of the 44th over. Back of a length delivery outside off. The shot takes the ball down the ground but it doesn't have enough distance on it. Easy catch for Santner at mid-off.
Hossain c Santner b Henry 26 (25)
Feb 24, 2025 5:37 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: More aggression from Rishad; Bangladesh 193/6

Feb 24, 2025 5:28 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rishad Hossain giving Bangladesh some acceleration, BAN 184/6 in 41 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Third ball of that over from Santner is smashed over wide long-on. It was the tal O'Rourke out there and even he couldn't reach it. A single and a double either side of that six and Rishad on 16 off as many, Jaker Ali on 24 off 39.
Feb 24, 2025 5:21 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Into the last 10 overs; Bangladesh 172/6 in 40 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Rishad Hossain ends the 40th over by Henry by smashing the last ball into the long on area for four. Bangladesh need many more of those. We are into the final powerplay now, New Zealand can have five outside the ring. Captain Santner to bowl the 41st over.
Feb 24, 2025 5:16 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: GONE! That's that for Shanto; Bangladesh 163/6 in 37.2 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand almost made a meal of this catch but the fact that they still got it also shows just how well-oiled a machine they are in the field. Shanto goes for the big hit down the ground, it goes up and touches a few clouds, set to fall somewhere behind the umpire at the non-striker's end. Five fielders stand looking at each other and finally, it is Michael Bracewell, who was farthest from it, who runs in and dives to take the catch.
Shanto c Bracewell b O'Rourke 77 (110)
Feb 24, 2025 5:00 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: FOUR! Shanto hits his first boundary in 15 overs!
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: His preferred way of scoring today has been singles, which is probably why his strike rate was starting to dip into the 60s before that shot. O'Rourke returns for the 36th over, Shanto runs two off the first ball. The second is full and Shanto plays it back down the ground for a four.
Feb 24, 2025 4:49 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh trundling along, 140/5 in 32 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Two runs off Santner in the 32nd over. There is a huge gulf in class between these two teams and it is evident here. Bangladesh just not showing enough intent running between the wickets and they are still unable to find the gaps. If there is a plan that Bangladesh are following, well it is pretty hard to see it at the moment.
Feb 24, 2025 4:38 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: More than 50 percent of deliveries are dots, Bangladesh 127/5 in 29 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh's attitude today has been either tap the ball back to the bowler or to a fielder and hope you get a run or slog in the hope that the the ball reaches the boundary. Their run rate has now dipped below 4.50. This happened in both matches that have been played against India in Dubai but then the nature of that pitch meant that the run rate dip was somewhat justified. This is the kind of pitch where 300 might not be a par score. Just stunning here from Bangladesh.
Shanto is on 57 off 80, Jaker Ali on six off 13.
Feb 24, 2025 4:23 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: OUT! This time Mahmudullah throws it away, Bracewell has 4! Bangladesh 118/5 in 26.1 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bracewell is using the wind and the drift but the main reason why this is happening is because Bangladesh are just throwing it away. Mushfiqur first, now Mahmudullah, Bangladesh's most experienced batters gone playing like novices. Mahmudullah advances down the track early, tries to go for a big shot down the ground but the length means the shot is not on. He still goes for it and it takes a thick edge, O'Rourke takes the catch at short third. Absolutely amateurish execution of the shot, the kind you expect to see in club games, not in the Champions Trophy.
Mahmudullah c O'Rourke b Bracewell 4 (14)
Feb 24, 2025 4:15 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Half-century for Najmul Hossain Shanto!
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: A half-century that has come in 71 balls. Whether this will be a good innings or not really depends on whether Shanto can kick on from here.
Feb 24, 2025 4:14 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: OUT! Mushfiqur throws it away
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Wicket No.3 for Bracewell. The Bangladesh batters are thinking they can hit him anywhere they want and he is loving it.
Feb 24, 2025 4:13 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh crawl past 100; 105/3 in 22 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Mushfiqur is off the mark but two pieces of fielding pretty much sums up how New Zealand are squeezing Bangladesh at the moment. Santner bowls the fourth ball full outside off, Shanto doesn't quite nail the cut shot. Will Young dives to his left full stretch at short third to stop the ball from going past the infield. Then Glenn Phillips at midwicket dives to stop the next ball from going through. Two dot balls entirely due to determined fielding. This pitch, by the way, is an absolute road and so Bangladesh are staring at a rather humiliating defeat if they can't accelerate.
Shanto is on 48 off 68, Mushfiqur Rahm on two off two.
Feb 24, 2025 4:02 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: OUT! Pressure does the job! Bangladesh 97/3 in 20.3 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bracewell gets another and it is Hridoy, the centurion from the game against India. Fantastic catch there by Williamson. Third ball of the 21st is full from Bracewell outside off, Hridoy backs away and tries to loft it over the off side. It goes up in the air, Williamson runs back from cover, dives and completes the catch.
Hridoy c Williamson b Bracewell 7 (24)
Feb 24, 2025 4:01 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh going into a hole now
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Bangladesh's run rate has now dipped below five. Everything they are hitting seems to be going to a fielder. Hridoy on seven off 12, Shanto on 45 off 61.
Feb 24, 2025 3:38 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: 15 overs done, Shanto ticking along; Bangladesh 78/2
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The Bangladesh captain has got off to a good start here. Just one run in that 15th over from Michael Bracewell and Shanto is on 34 off 44, Towhid Hridoy, the tragic hero from Bangladesh's last game, has scored one in eight balls.
Feb 24, 2025 3:28 PM IST
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: GONE! Miraz can't do much more than start well, Bangladesh 64/2 in 12 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Well that is tame. Miraz tries to somehow play the last ball of the 12th above leg side somewhere, ends up giving the mid-on fielder catching practice. Wonder if the Bangladesh top order batters have been told that they are top order players and this is not yet the last 10 overs of the innings.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: OUT! Tanzid falls to spin again
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: He had got off to a good start against India as well and fell in Axar Patel's very first over.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Tanzid motoring along, Shanto in a hole
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: The two players are batting on two different planets at the moment. Henry goes short fourth ball of the seventh over, Tanzid smashes it over midwicket and the ball lands right on the boundary cushion. Wide down the leg side next ball and then two runs off the fifth.
Tanzid on 24 off 22, Shanto on eight off 20.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: A better 2nd over from Jamieson... Bangladesh 16/0 in 4 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Just two runs given in the second over. Shanto is under all kinds of pressure already. He is unable to rotate strike and his barren recent form doesn't help either. Tanzid at the other end ticking along nicely.
Shanto is on three off 11, Tanzid on 13 off 13.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: SIX AND FOUR! Tanzid lays into Jamieson, Bangladesh 13/0 in 2 overs
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Indian fans would remember from the 2019 WTC Final just how difficult it is to score of Kyle Jamieson but this is first international in over a year and so he is a little rusty. Jamieson pitches up the fourth ball of the second over, Tanzid flicks it away behind square. The next ball is nicely on the pads and Tanzid sends it sailing over deep midwicket for a six.
Tanzid on 13 off 10, Shanto on none off two.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Here we go then!
Bangladesh vs New Zealand Live Score, ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Not the greatest of atmospheres at the Pindi Stadium, understandably. The hosts are not playing and home fans may not have too much hopes of them getting a favourable result today. Even if they did, Pakistan's performances in the two matches they have played were underwhelming to say the least. Anyhow, it's a hot Monday as well, let's hope the crowd builds up later in the day. Matt Henry steaming in, Tanzid Hasan facing up with captain Shanto at the other end.
