Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Updates, Champions Trophy 2025:

Babar Azam is playing a slow knock as three-down Pakistan find themselves in trouble in the chase of 321 runs against New Zealand in Karachi. William O'Rourke has claimed two wickets while Michael Bracewell has picked one. Earlier, centuries each from Tom Latham and Will Young alongside a fiery fifty from Glenn Phillips steered New Zealand to 320 for 5. Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and opted to bowl against New Zealand. The decision seemed right as the hosts reduced the Blackcaps to 73 for 3 at one stage, but a 118-run partnership between Young (107) and Latham (118 not out) turned the tide. Phillips' blazing 61 off 39 balls towards the end made sure New Zealand crossed the 300-run mark. For Pakistan, Naseem Shah was the most successful bowler with figures of 2 for 63. (Live Scorecard)
