The stage is set for the Champions Trophy 2025, and Pakistan will face New Zealand in the tournament opener at the iconic National Stadium in Karachi. After a long eight years, this tournament is back on track and is expected to be big.
On one hand, Pakistan, which is hosting the ICC event after 29 years, is surely one of the favourites to win the tournament, especially as they are playing in front of their home crowd. All eyes will be on them under Mohammad Rizwan’s leadership. How they perform will be crucial. The team has amazing fast bowlers, but since Pakistan’s pitches are more batting-friendly, especially the surface at Karachi Stadium, it will be interesting to see how Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah will tackle this scenario.
On the other hand, New Zealand comes into the tournament after extensive preparations. They have recently played a lot of cricket in Asia, from India to Sri Lanka, and then Pakistan, where they won a recent tri-series, showing complete dominance. They will look to continue that momentum in this upcoming event.
