Bangladesh vs New Zealand Prediction: Who will Win CT 2025 Match?
New Zealand’s recent performance puts them as the match’s favorites. In addition to their bowling attack, which includes Matt Henry and spinners Santner and Sodhi, being efficient in subcontinental conditions, their top order, which is supported by Latham and Young, is in superb form. Though it might help seamers early on, the Rawalpindi pitch is anticipated to be batting-friendly. The outcome of the match and team play may be impacted by cloudy situations with chances for rain.
Bangladesh needs to win this match, while Pakistan also needs to win. Both of them will be disqualified from the 2025 Champions Trophy if the Blackcaps win. Despite their ability to outperform their opponents, Najmul Shanto and his squad have struggled recently. The Asian team will need to perform at their highest level to win because of New Zealand’s squad’s adaptability. Bangladesh could pose a threat, but New Zealand is the clear favorite due to their well-rounded team and recent performance.
