NEW DELHI: New Zealand will look to secure a semifinal berth when they take on Bangladesh in a crucial Group A clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday. The Black Caps started their campaign in dominant fashion, registering a 60-run victory over hosts Pakistan, which initially placed them at the top of the group before India overtook them with an emphatic win over Pakistan.
A win for New Zealand will confirm semifinal spots for both them and India, while Bangladesh, currently third in the group with a net run rate of -0.408, must win to stay in contention for the knockout stage.

New Zealand have looked clinical, but they face a selection dilemma with Rachin Ravindra’s potential return from a head injury. Will Young, who replaced Ravindra, scored a century against Pakistan, making the decision to drop him difficult.
Bangladesh, on the other hand, must regroup quickly after their six-wicket defeat to India. Their batting needs improvement, and the top order must step up. However, they can take inspiration from their previous Champions Trophy upset over New Zealand, where they eliminated the Black Caps. They will need a similar performance to keep their semifinal hopes alive.
