In the sixth game of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025, New Zealand will be locking horns against Bangladesh. The match is scheduled to be played on Monday (February 24) at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi.
New Zealand will be eyeing their second straight win in the tournament and bolster their chances of qualifying for the semifinal. The Black Caps began their campaign with a 60-run win over hosts Pakistan in the tournament opener.
After scoring 320 runs, New Zealand bowled out Pakistan for just 260 runs. A win against Bangladesh will all but confirm their passage to the semifinals.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, is in danger of getting knocked out. They began their campaign with a 6-wicket loss against favourites India and another loss would put them on the verge of elimination. With New Zealand in good form at the moment, Bangladesh need something special to win the upcoming game.
So, as both the teams gear up for the BAN vs NZ game, we are taking a look at the weather and pitch report.
