Their trio of spinners then tightened the screws with impactful spells, effectively ending the contest early in the chase. It was a near-flawless display from a well-prepared side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A victory over familiar foes Bangladesh in Rawalpindi will not only secure New Zealand&#8217;s spot in the semi-finals but also confirm India&#8217;s place\u2014an impressive feat considering their pre-tournament injury setbacks to key bowlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bangladesh, on the other hand, has struggled in ODIs over the past couple of years. Openers Soumya Sarkar and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto were dismissed for ducks as they collapsed to 35 for 5 against India. Their total of 228 was largely thanks to Jaker Ali\u2019s 68\u2014an innings that wouldn\u2019t have materialized had Rohit Sharma held a straightforward catch on Ali\u2019s first ball. Towhid Hridoy scored his maiden ODI century but battled cramps toward the end of his innings; the cooler Rawalpindi conditions may offer him some relief. Encouragingly, senior batter Mahmudullah is likely to return after missing the India match with a hamstring issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bangladesh\u2019s bowling was disciplined against India, but they\u2019ll need stronger performances from Taskin Ahmed, Rishad Hossain, and Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Extra pace from Nahid Rana, their fastest bowler, could also be pivotal\u2014especially since New Zealand has never faced him, offering Bangladesh a potential edge in this must-win clash to keep their Champions Trophy hopes alive.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-890030\" title=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-683x1024.webp 683w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-200x300.webp 200w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-768x1152.webp 768w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-1024x1536.webp 1024w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-1366x2048.webp 1366w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-280x420.webp 280w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-560x840.webp 560w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-150x225.webp 150w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-300x450.webp 300w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-696x1044.webp 696w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-1392x2088.webp 1392w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-1068x1602.webp 1068w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-1920x2880.webp 1920w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Taskin-Ahmed-2-scaled.webp 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Taskin Ahmed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Despite showing resilience against India in Dubai\u2014recovering from 35\/5 to post 228 and putting up a fight with the ball\u2014Bangladesh cannot afford any further setbacks. Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali led the resistance with the bat on a sluggish pitch following a top-order collapse, but the team will be eager to avoid a repeat. The likes of Soumya Sarkar, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, and captain Najmul Hossain Shanto will need to step up with the bat. Their bowling unit, particularly the slower bowlers, was effective, but greater accuracy in line and length will be crucial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New Zealand, in contrast, remained composed despite early setbacks against Pakistan. Will Young and Tom Latham anchored the innings with brilliant centuries, followed by a fiery half-century from Glenn Phillips, guiding them to a commanding total. Their bowlers then executed a well-rounded performance, with pacers and spinners complementing each other to secure a dominant win. Having spent time in Pakistan and maintaining an unbeaten streak since the tri-series before the Champions Trophy, New Zealand will be confident of extending their run and bolstering their semifinal aspirations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bangladesh-vs-new-zealand-head-to-head\">Bangladesh vs New Zealand: Head-to-head<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bangladesh triumphed over New Zealand in their last Champions Trophy encounter held in Cardiff in 2017, leveling their head-to-head record in the tournament at 1-1.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-683x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-890031\" title=\"\" srcset=\"\/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-683x1024.webp 683w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-200x300.webp 200w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-768x1152.webp 768w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-1024x1536.webp 1024w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-1365x2048.webp 1365w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-280x420.webp 280w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-560x840.webp 560w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-150x225.webp 150w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-300x450.webp 300w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-696x1044.webp 696w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-1392x2089.webp 1392w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-1068x1602.webp 1068w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-1920x2881.webp 1920w, \/\/technosports.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Mustafizur-Rahman-1-scaled.webp 1706w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Mustafizur Rahman<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Since 2015, New Zealand has been Bangladesh&#8217;s most frequent ODI opponent, and the Black Caps have maintained dominance, winning 17 of their 21 meetings, with Bangladesh claiming three victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Matches Played:<\/strong> 45<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Won by New Zealand:<\/strong> 33<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Won by Bangladesh:<\/strong> 11<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Tied:<\/strong> 0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Result:<\/strong> 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>First-ever Fixture:<\/strong> April 28, 1990<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Most-recent Fixture:<\/strong> December 23, 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"bangladesh-vs-new-zealand-pitch-report-and-weather-conditions\">Bangladesh vs New Zealand: Pitch Report and Weather Conditions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the previous international match at this venue\u2014a Test against England\u2014there will be no industrial fans or outdoor heaters used to dry the pitch this time.
