178 Number of dot balls in Bangladesh's innings against New Zealand - the most by any team in this Champions Trophy, and the second most for Bangladesh in a 50-over men's ODI innings since 2012. They had played 185 dot balls against South Africa in a Johannesburg ODI in 2022.

12 Number of aggressive shots attempted by Bangladesh batters in 22 overs bowled by the New Zealand spinners. The spinners conceded only 80 runs at an economy of 3.63, while New Zealand's quicks went for 153 runs in 27 overs at an economy rate of 5.46

Bangladesh tried to attack only four balls from Mitchell Santner in ten overs, and seven balls from Michael Bracewell, who took 4 for 26 in ten overs.

4 for 26 Bracewell's bowling figures against Bangladesh are the best for a New Zealand spinner at the Champions Trophy, bettering Paul Wiseman's 4 for 45 against Zimbabwe in 2000.

All four wickets Bracewell took were of the top-six Bangladesh batters. The only other New Zealand spinner to dismiss at least four of the opposition's top six in a men's ODI in the last 20 years is Ish Sodhi - also against Bangladesh in 2023.

22 Runs conceded by New Zealand through wides against Bangladesh, their second most in a men's ODI. They conceded 29 runs in wides against Australia in the 2011 World Cup game in Nagpur.

2017 Previous instance of Kane Williamson getting out for single-digit scores in consecutive ODI innings, before his 1 and 5 in this Champions Trophy. Williamson scored 6 and 3 in successive matches against India in 2017.

40 Difference in the runs scored by New Zealand and Bangladesh during the middle overs (11-40) on Monday. New Zealand scored 154 runs for the loss of two wickets in this phase, while Bangladesh scored only 114 and lost five wickets. Bangladesh played out 107 dot balls in this phase, while New Zealand only had 79.

6.09 Economy rate of Bangladesh's spinners - they conceded 123 runs in 20.1 overs they bowled on a pitch where New Zealand's spinners went at 3.63 and took four wickets.

On the other hand, Bangladesh's pacers made early inroads, taking three wickets and ending up with an economy rate of 4.34 in the 26 overs they bowled, which was much better than the New Zealand pacers, who went at 5.46 runs per over.

1 Rachin Ravindra became the first batter to score a hundred in his debut match at both the ICC's global ODI events (the World Cup and the Champions Trophy). He scored an unbeaten 123 against England on his World Cup debut in 2023, and now 112 against Bangladesh on his Champions Trophy debut.

Ravindra's four ODI hundreds have all come at the ICC's global events so far, the most at such events by any man for New Zealand, surpassing three by Kane Williamson and Nathan Astle.
