Pakistan and New Zealand will kick off the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 today at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi.
Though the Kiwis trounced the host twice within a week, it will be the high-stakes clash on Wednesday they would want to win to get their Champions Trophy campaign to a winning start.
For Pakistan, life under new captain Mohammad Rizwan has begun with ODI series wins in Australia and South Africa. Rizwan would want the side to carry that momentum and begin its title defense in style.
