Before the Champions Trophy, it’s time for important warm-up games. Today, Afghanistan is set to play against New Zealand. The Black Caps performed really well in the recently held tri-series, even defeating hosts Pakistan, who were the favourites. Now, New Zealand will look to continue their strong run when they meet the Afghan Tigers at the National Stadium in Karachi.
On the other hand, Afghanistan, under the captaincy of Hashmatullah Shahidi, already played a warm-up match against Pakistan Shaheens, where they suffered a heavy defeat by 144 runs, which came as a setback. However, they will now aim to get back on track. Afghanistan, as they prepare for the official matches, will face teams like Australia and England, so preparation is crucial for them.
So, where can you watch the Afghanistan vs New Zealand Champions Trophy warm-up game live in India? For fans, is it available? Take a look at what we know about the Champions Trophy warm-up game live streaming.

In the recent media release, the ICC mentioned how Champions Trophy matches will be live-streamed in India, as JioHotstar holds the broadcasting rights for the Champions Trophy 2025 and will show the games. However, there is bad news for fans, as no confirmation has been given about the warm-up matches, and it is unlikely that they will be live-streamed. Star Sports is the official broadcaster of the Champions Trophy 2025 in India, but the warm-up matches will not be televised.
