Rachin Ravindra credited New Zealand's coaches, doctors, and family for his successful return from injury, marking his comeback with a stunning century against Bangladesh that sealed the Black Caps' Champions Trophy semi-final spot in a dominant victory.

Ravindra missed out on the tournament opener against Pakistan last week but returned to action in style on Monday, with a classy century as New Zealand stormed into the semifinal and drew curtains on Pakistan’s campaign.

After being asked to bat first by the New Zealand, Bangladesh at Rawalpindi scored 236 runs in 50 overs during the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025. NZ at 165/3 in 33 overs.

Rachin Ravindra shepherded New Zealand's chase with a timely century as his team recovered from an early wobble to see off Bangladesh by five wickets and secure its place in the semifinals of the Champions Trophy.

Before Ravindra's chancy hundred, all-rounder Michael Bracewell did the star turn with a four-wicket haul as New Zealand restricted Bangladesh to 236 for nine.
