New Zealand (320/5) defeat Pakistan (260) comfortably by 60 runs to clinch triumph in the inaugural match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[RehanG]

Shaheen is utter useless in last few overs

 

[sweep_shot]

18 off the over. Big over.

 

[aukhan]

Overrated Shaheena

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kiwis have it in their mind the Pakistanis chased down 350 with ease a week ago.

 

[m.shah]

Such a poor bowling from Shaheen

 

[Ahmed216]

59 off last 4. Jee oye Philipppaa

 

[Rana]

Haydos just learned about Pakistan’s 350 chase in Karachi

His 280 score is breached though

 

[RidiculousMan]

Yorkers?????

He's afraid that Phillips going to scoop him.

 

[Local.Dada]

very unattractive innings by Latham compared to Young and Philips but could be difference in the end.

 

[Van_Sri]

Kiwi will reach 320

 

[NeVerMind]

Who suggested making Shaheen bowl in the death overs?

He's supposed to be our premier bowler...doesn't play tests anymore, doesn't take wickets in his first few overs so what is his role?

 

[aukhan]

3 saal se no dhang ki performance from this overrated political damaad.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Brilliant from Rauf

 

[GLORY OF '92]

80% NZ now

 

[Deewana Mastana]

First yorker and it just gets them 1

 

[OldWarHorse]

Arshdeep>>>>Shaheen

 

[Ahmed216]

Kiwis need just 1 more from Shaheen to become heavy favorites

 

[imshally81]

Shaheen is useless bowler after 45 overs

 

[Hellion]

"You can lose your thinking when there's turbulence" Great commentary line

 

[mominsaigol]

Yup I knew my comment would age poorly

 

[shaf]

Our fast bowlers bowling at 135kph.

When did this become acceptable?

 

[Van_Sri]

Kiwi will win most probably

 

[JibranAnsari]

Pakistan need guys like mohammad wasim for death overs. Absolute carnage.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Why would you bowl a slower one at that length

 

[Bhaijaan]

Kiwis making a mockery of the boundary line. These are not even huge sixes lol.

 

[Hellion]

Tepiya smashed for another six.

 

[Shafi]

330-350. A big win by NZ probably by 150+

 

[aukhan]

Yorkers?????

Shaheen cant bowl yorkers.He always bowls full tosses and has no control over line and length.

 

[emranabbas]

Why Is it a big deal for number 4 to get a 100?

 

[Devadwal]

Wow the fielder not at the boundry? Cost pakistan 6 runs

 

[m.shah]

Why are pakistani fielder inside

 

[batandballbattle]

Phainta continues... 330 plus very much on the cards

 

[adi_62941]

Tapiya getting what he deserves

 

[JibranAnsari]

Khushdil shah shabashay

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tommy bhai hit on the helmet. Hope he’s ok.

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Phillips is smoothly shaving Pakistani bowlers!

 

[RidiculousMan]

Field placement I'm not sold here.

If Shaheen's bowling to phillips. Ask him to bowl yorkers and put a Long On, Mid-wicket, Square leg and Deep fine leg very fine (for scoop).

If Phillips plays reverse scoop over third man or gets over mid on then good enough. But restrict him. Make him to hit down the ground on longer boundary and tonking length ball over 65m boundary over square.

 

[imshally81]

Khushdil... Once parchi always parchi

 

[Van_Sri]

Fakhar has to open the innings to have any chance for Paksitan to win

 

[m.shah]

Khushdil can't bat can't ball can't field

 

[aukhan]

As usual Shaheen's bowling in the big matches just like Zimbabar.

both are overrated and useless on big occasions.

Chotay level kay players.

 

[Bhaijaan]

India have won the last 5 one day matches v pak.

Guaranteed to be 6 on the trott

Nothing is ever guaranteed when it’s a BharPak

 

[adi_62941]

What will happen against indian batsmen

 

[emranabbas]

Shaheens whole career is based on wickets at front when batsmen are trying to settle in and not taking risks

 

[JibranAnsari]

4 morw sixes in 15 bowls.

 

[Devadwal]

Phainta continues... 330 plus very much on the cards

Still pakistan match to lose even NZ score 320.

 

[NeVerMind]

HappyBea

Khushdil can't bat can't ball can't field

Probably makes a banging biryani for the lads as that is the only logical explanation as to why he keeps getting these chances

 

[jattafridi]

Amazing Babar please score 100

 

[Jazx]

Why are pakistani fielder inside

Seems Khushdil was standing wherever he wants

 

[imshally81]

Why are boundaries are so small?
ICC??

 

[Van_Sri]

New Zealand will be restricted to below 320

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Concede 6s for fun then can't hit any problem for 10 years

 

[aukhan]

Lol qalanders clowns making a mockery of the nation as always.

 

[jattafridi]

Can’t wait New Zealand vs India 2 champion teams

 

[RyanRyan10]

What will happen against indian batsmen

They are past their prime

 

[batandballbattle]

Still pakistan match to lose even NZ score 320.

Bowling attack today is much better than the saffas was, wouldn't be so sure

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan CT finished before ot started properly

 

[Rana]

Shaheens whole career is based on wickets at front when batsmen are trying to settle in and not taking risks

That’s why Mitch Marsh just bossed him at Chennai 2023

First ball of the match straight down the ground for six.

The Australian Alpha is one hell of a beast!

 

[JibranAnsari]

Send khushdil shah to open today.

 

[Bhaijaan]

You need some genuine skill to not get absolutely smashed by two set batters on these pitches on a sunny day. There are only really a few fast bowlers who can go out of this kind of a situation with a run ball over. Very few. Don’t have on Haris, Shaheen, Naseem

 

[RidiculousMan]

Latham concussed?

 

[Local.Dada]

Yup I knew my comment would age poorly

Which one. There are quiet a few

 

[Kianig89]

Phillips stunning marvellous tremendous

 

[OldWarHorse]

Rachin looks alright. Why is he avoiding playing?

 

[Devadwal]

Pakistan don't mind this break

 

[Wasim Ghulam]

He's supposed to be our premier bowler...doesn't play tests anymore, doesn't take wickets in his first few overs so what is his role?

He is only supposed to play politics in team like his father in Law. watch him become beast in PSL

 

[Asif321]

Shouldn’t have let them reach 300 .

 

[Rana]

Bowling attack today is much better than the saffas was, wouldn't be so sure

You can’t allow Santner and Bracewell to for 70-80 runs in 20 overs

 

[Local.Dada]

Pakistan CT finished before ot started properly

Arrey bhai, match to khatam hone do

 

[RidiculousMan]

Rachin looks alright. Why is he avoiding playing?

New Zealand follow a process. They will complete all protocols

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan should have been dominant at home

 

[Devadwal]

Rachin looks alright. Why is he avoiding playing?

He is saving his Best against india .

 

[imshally81]

Lucky break for us.... Replan the things

 

[sweep_shot]

Latham was hit on the head hard. I hope he is okay.

 

[aukhan]

This will be an exciting chase if fakhar performs today. Thanks to the lol Qalandars quota selections, we are doomed if fakhar fails.

 

[Local.Dada]

He is saving his Best against india .

Also in Dubai under better lights

 

[YousafTheBeast]

the games gone...took him 10 mins to recover from that hit.

 

[Kianig89]

It's like a scray dream.for Pakistan too much to do

 

[emranabbas]

Rauf bowling to wicket is an improvement

 

[imshally81]

Rameez...please shutup
