Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium

Bangladesh returns to Pakistan to face Group A toppers New Zealand in the Champions Trophy. The match is scheduled to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on 24th February from 2:30 PM IST.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Chance of Winning

Bangladesh suffered a loss in Dubai against 2-time champions India as the top order failed miserably for them. The Tigers lost five wickets in the first 10 overs and despite Towhid Hridoy and Jaker Ali’s heroics, could only put up 228 runs on the board. The Men in Blue, on the back of the world’s no. 1 ODI batter, Shubman Gill, chased that target down with ease. Bangladesh will be hoping a change in venue for the next two matches brings with it a change in fortunes.

New Zealand carried their impressive performance from the tour of Pakistan into the Champions Trophy. They defeated hosts Pakistan by 60 runs in the tournament opener. Will Young and Tom Latham scored centuries to help the Kiwis post 320 runs on the board, a total which the hosts never looked like chasing down. They’ll need to have an off day to let the Tigers get the better off them.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Prediction & Betting Tips 2024

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has been traditionally high-scoring. The venue has played host four times since 2020 with an average of over 275 runs scored per inning. Hence, we’re expecting a high-scoring game with over 250 runs for both teams.

Only one match in Rawalpindi since 2006 has seen more than 14 wickets fall with the last two games seeing a combined total of just 20 dismissals. Moreover, the last five matches played between Bangladesh and New Zealand have seen an average of just 12.8 dismissals. Hence, we are backing odds of 1.94 on Parimatch to see fewer than 15.5 wickets fall in the match.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Match Toss Prediction

The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium slightly favours teams that bowl first, who have won 14 of 26 games played at the venue. Four of the last five matches played at the venue have been won by teams that bowled first. Hence, we’re expecting the captain that wins the toss to send the opposition to bat first.

Weather Report

The wind is expected to pick up in the first couple of hours of the match, but will reduce as the sun goes down. While there’s a small chance of rain in Rawalpindi on the day, we’re not expecting it to impact the game. The temperature in the city is forecast to hover between 18 and 23 degrees celsius.

The Kiwis started the tournament with a bang, defeating hosts Pakistan with ease in the first match of the Champions Trophy. That victory was the Kiwis’ fourth consecutive win with their last loss coming in Sri Lanka earlier this year.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Head to Head

New Zealand have a superior head-to-head record against Bangladesh, losing an average of just 1 game in 4 attempts. They have won 33 matches while Bangladesh have emerged victorious 11 times. Bangladesh won the last time the two sides met, which was their first win in nearly 7 years.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Betting Odds

New Zealand to have a better powerplay in Rawalpindi

Bangladesh lost five wickets in the first 9 overs against India in their opening match. While we’re not expecting them to fold the same way in Rawalpindi, they’re up against a dangerous New Zealand bowling attack. The Kiwis choked the Pakistan batters in the powerplay, allowing only 22 runs to be scored while taking 2 wickets. With the bat, they scored 48 runs while losing two wickets. We’re expecting wickets to fall in the powerplay in both innings, but are backing the Kiwis to have the upper hand in the opening 10 overs in the match.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Top Batters

Najmul Hossain Shanto to be Bangladesh’s top batsman

While Bangladesh’s captain Najmul Hossain Shanto failed to post a decent score in the first match, he has an impressive record against New Zealand. In five games against the Kiwis, he has scored two fifties. Moreover, the only match he has played in Pakistan in his career saw him post a century.

Will Young to be New Zealand’s top batsman

New Zealand’s opener grabbed the bull by its horns in the first match itself, scoring 107 against Pakistan. The 32-year-old averages over 46 in his previous 10 games and has also scored 50 or more runs in four of his 8 matches against Bangladesh. We’re expecting him to go big once again in Rawalpindi.

Bangladesh vs New Zealand Top Bowlers

Taskin Ahmed to be Bangladesh’s top bowler

Despite India easily chasing the target down in Dubai, Bangladesh pacer Taskin Ahmed returned with figures of 1/36 in 9 overs. The 29-year-old was the leading wicket-taker in the recently concluded Bangladesh Premier League and we’re expecting him to deliver once again in favourable conditions in Pakistan.

Will O’Rourke to be New Zealand’s top bowler

The saying goes, ‘Where there is a will, there is a way’ and Will O’Rourke generally finds a way. In his last three games in Pakistan, the pacer has taken 9 wickets including being the best bowler in the opening match. The 23-year-old uses his height well to generate bounce on the pace-friendly wickets in Pakistan and we’re expecting him to do well once again in Rawalpindi.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

New Zealand

Bangladesh, despite winning their last game against New Zealand, come into the match as heavy underdogs considering the form of the two teams. The Kiwis have won all four of their matches in Pakistan this year and are given favourable odds to continue their winning run. We’re going with the bookmakers and backing New Zealand to continue their winning run.

• Bangladesh to Win - 4.50 (Parimatch)
• New Zealand to Win - 1.19 (Parimatch)
