Mon Feb 24 14:30:00 UTC 2025: **Mustafizur Rahman Claims Key Wicket as Bangladesh Triumphs in ICC Champions Trophy**
RAWALPINDI, PAKISTAN – Bangladesh’s Mustafizur Rahman dismissed New Zealand’s Devon Conway for 30 runs, contributing to a crucial victory for Bangladesh in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The match, played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Monday, saw New Zealand set a target of 237 runs.
Their chase was hampered by early losses, with Will Young and Kane Williamson falling early to Taskin Ahmed and Nahid Rana respectively. Conway, despite a 57-run partnership with Rachin Ravindra, failed to anchor the innings, becoming Mustafizur’s victim via an inside edge onto the stumps. This followed a similar pattern of dismissals for Conway in the past.
The dismissal proved pivotal as Bangladesh secured a significant win, although details of the final score are not provided in the original text. This victory builds on Bangladesh’s recent dominant 9-wicket win over New Zealand in Napier in December 2023, where they bowled out the Black Caps for their lowest ever ODI total against Bangladesh (98 runs).
