New Zealand know they must put in a match-winning performance if they are to defy the odds and qualify for the Champions Trophy semi-final. After a frustrating rain-affected opening match against Australia, New Zealand were thoroughly outplayed by the hosts, England, so they have one point from their first two matches. They need to beat Bangladesh and hope England beat Australia to progress to the semi-finals. Bangladesh were well beaten by England in the opening match of the tournament, then had their match against Australia washed out due to rain. They too must win and hope Australia don’t pick up points against England to progress.

New Zealand vs Bangladesh predictions
With both sides needing to win to have any hope of progressing, expect a tense atmosphere with neither wanting to make a mistake at crucial times to gift their opponent the advantage. With that in mind, you would have to favour New Zealand to handle the pressure moments better and take control of the momentum shifting events. The Blackcaps bowled well against England to keep them to a below-par 310 all out and it was only their failings with the bat that let them down. Bangladesh set a brilliant platform against England with the bat but never accelerated, having relied too much on leading run-scorer Tamim Iqbal so far in this tournament.
- Ross Taylor top New Zealand batsman – 5.50
- Imrul Kayes top Bangladesh batsman – 5.50
