Former England crisner Michael Vaughan dug a Pakistani cricket (PCB) board for empty boats during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener’s opener between the hosts and New Zealand. The match is underway at the National Stadium in Karachi on Wednesday (February 19).
The ICC Trophy 2025 champions returned after a long gap of 8 years, and in what is the main stimulus for Pakistan Crickket Board, they have long hosted the first major ICC event. The last time the ICC event played in Pakistan was in 1996 when they participated in the ICC World Cup.

However, people in Pakistan do not assign enough, because the views at the National Stadium in Karachi are almost empty for the first game of the 2025 ICC champion. Only one part of the soil looks filled, while most of this is still seen by fans.
Because of this, even former England crisis, Michael Vaughan, expressed concern. He said that even though it was great to see Pakistan, which hosts their first ICC event since 1996, it seems that PCB has forgotten to tell fans about the match.

Although the crowds at the stadium were less expected, the battle on the ground between Pakistan and New Zealand was magnificent. It was an amazing start to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 because both teams were hard to fight.

New Zealand was asked to hit first and had a decent start. Devon Conway (10) and Will Young looked solid to the top while adding 39 rides to open the partnership. But after that, Pakistan returned strongly with Abrar Ahmed picked up by the left back and then removed Kane Williamson Kane Shah.
Daryl Mitchell seemed to stay longer, but he gave him a difficult time in the fold. He finished gave his Wickket Haris Rauf, and the new Zealand National Cricket team remained in 73 for three within 17 additions.
Will Young, on the other hand, looked solid for the National Cricket of New Zealand. The introductory dough stabbed a solid half a century with the way it hit, it looks placed for a great tone. Tom Latham, who came out at 5, would like to support him well and help the team publish a large total number on the board.
