The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Kickstart on Wednesday (February 19th) at a national stadium in Karachi. Pakistan’s hosts took over New Zealand at the tournament opener and it was the perfect start for a foreign Mitchell Santner, led by eight countries.
Asked that Bat, New Zealand went to a decent start with a baton, because Devon Conway and Will Young, 107, added 39 running for the introductory stand at any time. But after that, Pakistan made a strong return, choosing three fast Wickkeke in Conway, Kaneu Williamson and Daryl Mitchell, leaving the opposition at 73 for three.

However, the young man cursed his class under pressure and scored a great century. Tom Latham (118*) also played great scams because the Young-Latham duo added 118 Wickkeket district, which made Pakistan’s bowlers look without a term in the middle.
Glenn Phillips, 61, eventually scored brutal for half a century and supported Latham, while the duo added 125 running together. Based on their partnership, New Zealand posted a total of 320 rides on the board, which at one point did not look possible.
Pakistan fight in chase, take out everything for 260 to lose your first ICC champion Trophy 2025
In the chase, Pakistan was forced to promote Saud Shakeel to the top, but the move did not work because the dough was in the hut to six. Since Fakhar Zaman is not available for the first 25 minutes, Mohammad Rizwan had to walk in three, but he also failed because the hosts remained winding in 22/2.
Babar Azam (64) and Fakhar (24) added 47 runs for the third Wickket before fighting that Zaman returned to the hut. Babar went through a slow fifty, while Salman Agh, 42, hit with great intent while the duo added 58 runs for Wickket district.
After that, Pakistan was losing Wickkette at regular intervals. Khushdil Shah, 69, eventually hit the crucial fifty to keep his team in the hut, but the New Zealand bowlers were too good. Black caps have finished Pakistan Ubistan with 260 runs to win a 60 ride game and start the High tournament.
