ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - Winning Odds

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 - New Zealand vs Bangladesh - Key Players

1) Will Young - New Zealand

Before the start of the ICC Champions Trophy, Will Young had yet to prove his worth for the team. However, the 32-year-old top-order batter came out as an unstoppable force in the first fixture and scored a century for the team. Will Young scored 107 runs off 113 balls at a strike rate of 94.69 and gave the Kiwis a solid start in the first fixture of the tournament. It will be interesting to see if he can continue the same momentum in the 2nd match as well.

2) Tom Latham - New Zealand

When Will Young was looking for a partnership from the other end, Tom Latham rose to the occasion and did the required job. In the first fixture, Tom Patham scored 118 runs off 104 balls at a strike rate of 113.46. In the middle order, Tom Latham’s responsibility is to be on fire and maintain a higher run rate for the team. Against Bangladesh, Latham will be required to play the role again and he will be a key to success for the Kiwis.

3) Towhid Hridoy - Bangladesh

Towhid Hridoy came out as the only batter to stand against the Indian pace attack and score runs for the team in the first fixture. AT number 5, Towid has come out as a key batsman for the team who can score runs against deadly pacers and spinners of any team. Bangladesh will rely on his performance against New Zealand on Monday.

4) Rishad Hossain - Bangladesh

Since the pitches in Pakistan are spin-friendly, Rishad Hossain will be a key bowler for Bangladesh on Monday. He picked up 2 wickets in 10 overs at an economy of 3.80. He is disciplined, accurate and has enough flight in the bowl to allow it to spin. In order to dominate the match during the middle overs, Rishad Hossain will be brought in to break the important partnerships.
