PAK vs NZ Champions Trophy 2025: Pakistan will face New Zealand in the opening fixture of the Champions Trophy 2025. The ICC event, marking its return after eight years, is being hosted by Pakistan. Notably, Pakistan are also the defending champions. Under the leadership of Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan will aim for a strong start in the Champions Trophy. While their star batter, Babar Azam, is set to open the innings, much will rely on their bowling attack. However, New Zealand won’t be an easy challenge, having recently triumphed over Pakistan twice to win the recently-concluded tri-nation series in Pakistan.
New Zealand suffered a setback just ahead of the tournament-opener as Lockie Ferguson was ruled out of the tournament due to an injury sustained in the warm-up match against Afghanistan on Sunday. Kyle Jamieson—who last played an ODI in September 2023— was named as his replacement.
