Champions Trophy 2025: Match 6, BAN vs NZ Match Prediction – Who will win today’s Champions Trophy match between BAN vs NZ?

Bangladesh will face New Zealand in Match 6 of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on February 24. Bangladesh are coming off a loss at the hands of India in their first game. They were outclassed by the Indians with a margin of six wickets. On the other hand, it seemed a cakewalk for New Zealand against Pakistan in their previous game. 

It is worth noting that, if New Zealand manage to win the upcoming game, they will potentially seal their place in top two of the group. Bangladesh, after the defeat to India in the first game are in a must-win situation. A loss in the upcoming game will be an unofficial end to their tournament. The last time Bangladesh reached the semifinal of ICC’s 50-over tournaments was Champions Trophy 2017.

Match Details

Pitch Report

This will be the first match of the ongoing Champions Trophy in Rawalpindi. The deck has good bounce and carry and it will aid the batters well who will enjoy batting. The pacers will get some movement at the start with the new ball. Spinners might have very little say on this ground.
