Bangladesh vs. New Zealand: My Dream11 Picks for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Okay, cricket fans, listen up! The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is heating up, and we've got a cracker of a match coming up on February 24th: Bangladesh taking on New Zealand at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Kick-off is at 2:30 PM IST. Are you ready to build your Dream11 team? Let's dive into some key players to consider.
Kane Williamson: Captain Obvious (But a Good One!)
Picking Kane Williamson as captain for your Dream11 team feels like a no-brainer. Seriously, the guy's a legend. His ODI record is phenomenal – 7036 runs at an average of 49.20 in 169 matches! But it gets even better. His performance against Bangladesh is ridiculously impressive. In 12 ODIs against them, he's scored 500 runs at a whopping average of 62.50! His consistency, combined with that killer record against Bangladesh, makes him a total asset for your Dream11 squad.
Vice-Captain Choices: A Tough Call
Choosing a vice-captain is trickier. You've got two top contenders: Glenn Maxwell and Will Young. Both are incredibly talented and capable of changing the game on their own. Honestly, it really depends on their recent form and the match conditions. Think carefully about who's been hitting the ball well lately.
Bangladesh vs. New Zealand: What to Expect
This isn't just any match; it's a crucial one for both teams. Bangladesh will be desperate to beat New Zealand and boost their campaign. Meanwhile, New Zealand will be aiming to keep their winning streak alive. Expect fireworks, folks! This one's going to be intense.
