Pakistan vs New Zealand Highlights, Champions Trophy 2025:

Clinical New Zealand outplayed Pakistan by 60 runs in the opening game of Champions Trophy in Karachi on Wednesday. Centuries each from Tom Latham and Will Young alongside a fiery fifty from Glenn Phillips steered New Zealand to 320 for 5 in 50 overs. Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and opted to bowl. 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 in New Zealand's favour. Phillips' blazing 61 off 39 balls towards the end made sure the visitors crossed the 300-run mark. For Pakistan, Naseem Shah was the most successful bowler with figures of 2 for 63. Pakistan struggled in the chase due to their slow start - 22 for 2 in 10 overs. Babar Azam scored 64 runs but it came off 90 balls. On the other hand, Khushdil Shah and Salman Agha scored quickfire 69 and 42, respectively, but it wasn't enough for the home team. For New Zealand, William O'Rourke and Santner starred in bowling with three wickets each to their credit. (Scorecard)
