Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan vs New Zealand full scorecard
New Zealand dealt a huge blow to Pakistan’s dream of defending their Champions Trophy title at home as a disciplined performance from the bowlers, following a classy display from the batters, helped the visitors secure a massive 66-run win to open their campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Earlier, Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and invited the Kiwis to bat first.
The visitors got off to a steady start before Devon Conway (10) and Kane Williamson (1) lost their wickets in quick succession, handing Pakistan a comeback opportunity.
Will Young, along with Daryl Mitchell (10), tried to revive the innings, but the latter was removed by Haris Rauf after drinks as Pakistan tightened their grip on the match.
Will Young (107) added 118 runs for the fourth wicket with Tom Latham before losing his wicket to Naseem Shah in the 38th over.
Tom Latham (118 not out) then went on to add 125 runs for the fifth wicket with Glenn Phillips (61) to ensure a 300-plus total on the board, as New Zealand finished with 321 for the loss of five wickets at the end of 50 overs.
In reply, Pakistan lost Saud Shakeel (6) and Mohammad Rizwan (3) cheaply to William O’Rourke, leaving the home side reeling at 22 for 2 after 10 overs.
Fakhar Zaman (24) then added 47 runs for the third wicket with Babar Azam before being clean bowled by Michael Bracewell.
Babar Azam completed his half-century and added 58 runs for the fourth wicket with Salman Ali Agha (42) before the latter finally succumbed to the increasing required rate off the bowling of Nathan Smith. Mitchell Santner then made quick work of Tayyab Tahir (1), reducing Pakistan to 128 for 5.
Santner then dismissed Babar Azam (64), ending all hopes of a Pakistan victory. Shaheen Afridi (14) was the next to depart after nicking Matt Henry’s delivery to the keeper. Khushdil Shah (69) kept the crowd entertained for a while but ultimately fell to a pitched-up delivery from William O’Rourke as the hosts lost their eighth wicket on 229.
Santner dismissed Haris Rauf (19), pushing Pakistan to the verge of being bowled out before Matt Henry finally cleaned up Naseem Shah’s (13) stumps to bundle out Pakistan for 260 in just 47.2 overs, sealing the win.
