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

[daytrader]

Take a bow Phillips

 

[Dantheone]

Suddenly the pitch has become unplayable?
This is senseless batting from Pakistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar is at the crease. Can he play a blinder?

 

[batandballbattle]

2.2 RR in the powerplay wah bhai wah

 

[adi_62941]

The whole team is playing on pakhtun quota except few some times in think it's international cricket team of KPK

That is why we are in so terrible state. Miserable times ahead as these players are only 22-23 years old still.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

its a one man team lol

 

[Vikram1989]

Lowest pp score by a home team.pak achieved almost impossible chasing a mammoth score

 

[hafizexpress]

Their new Baz

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar's friend Bracewell on

 

[Nikhil_cric]

If EnZed can maintain this level of skill and intensity , just hand them the trophy already.

 

[Greenstorm]

Nice to see fans finally recognizing the greatness of Fakhar.

 

[Asif321]

Too late for Fakhar now

 

[PakFan2010]

Rizwan and Babar

The two biggest useless twats in the history of Pakistan cricket.

 

[Asad T]

22 in the power play
apparently it's the lowest score for a home team in a powerplay

 

[Hikaru]

I regret picking Pakistani players in my fantasy 11. Socha tha ghar mein to khel lenge.

 

[Nado_]

First time I’ve seen an entire tournament finish a team off from the first ten overs. Unless Fakhar gets a 50 ball hundred Pakistan are out of the tournament. There’s no way we are beating India don’t even bother to watch that match . Absolute trash

 

[Cover Drive Six]

Babar bhai looking like a million dollar baby and Rizwan just killing the vibe for now. He must understand he’s the beta here.

You must be kidding!
He is clueless against New Zealand pacers. Scoring 13*(30) in the powerplay while chasing a target of 320 is atrocious. The two boundaries he hit were off poor deliveries.
Pakistan Score is 22 runs in the first 10 overs. This poor show from Babar and Rizwan will cost them the match, and the RRR is near to 8.

Stat: This lowest PP score for Pakistan

 

[Local.Dada]

Not good. What a catch though.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Take this Bracewell to the cleaners. You cannot let these Kiwi spinners better you. Hit him out of the attack.

 

[kingusama92]

Fakhar needs to score 250 here.

 

[Savak]

If EnZed can maintain this level of skill and intensity , just hand them the trophy already.

They have to be tested against other teams like India, Australia, England. Cannot judge them only against a **** poor Pakistan

 

[adi_62941]

Historically pakistan has always remained underpressure in home

 

[Asad T]

this was wild

 

[Local.Dada]

Rizwan has set the platform for the middle order after bravely playing out the new ball: @Local.Dada

Can’t argue against a catch like that

 

[Asif321]

Crowd chanting fauji

 

[Rana]

Pakistan win or lose @Rana Aaj Rizwan ke cult followers ki le lega

Allah kare they don’t hide

@Major was very vocal and disrespecting my brother @Dr_Bassim earlier on

 

[PerfectionPersonified]

senseless batting by babar, playing a test match

 

[batandballbattle]

Fauji please save us...

 

[redmaverik84]

Is there a stat showing least runs scored in 10 overs while chasing 30+ for a full nation? This should top the list

So this is Pakistan's lowest first 10 over score in a home ODI. Incredible stuff!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

They have to be tested against other teams like India, Australia, England. Cannot judge them only against a **** poor Pakistan

England are a poor ODI team that can't even bat 50 overs. Australia have lost a lot of players

 

[RyanRyan10]

He can't run?

 

[Asif321]

Lol horrible 10 overs and now expect Fakhar to do magic

 

[m.shah]

The way Zimbabwar is playing Looks like match is fixed

 

[OldWarHorse]

Yeah his tournament is done

 

[sweep_shot]

Fakhar is struggling to run. Not a good sign.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Fakhar same innings from world cup need

 

[Saurav]

Can anyone explain why Pak is batting so fast?

is this regular?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fakhar can't run 2. So Babar the destroyer has to face more balls every time Fakhar shot doesn't reach boundary.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Pakistan win or lose @Rana Aaj Rizwan ke cult followers ki le lega

@RizwanT20Champ kahan hai?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Fakhar does not look fit enough to run. Only a single taken.

 

[Itachi]

Danger man is still there. It can turn at any time

 

[RyanRyan10]

Can’t argue against a catch like that

Yes bro, it took a brilliant catch to outdo his brave effort

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Babar slow khel rha

 

[Vikram1989]

Fakhar seems to be in pain .I don't think he will stay for long.

 

[Savak]

Against a disciplined bowling attack and excellent fielding side, conventional batters will just end up hitting the ball to the fielders.

You needed a aggressive unorthodox batter unafraid to use his feet and hit the ball over the top and to put the bowlers and fielders under pressure.

 

[daytrader]

Fauji fauji fauji

 

[Asad T]

one legged fakhar is still better than the rest of out batters

 

[Local.Dada]

Fakhar can’t run, so will just swing from the crease. This will be fun.

 

[Rana]

Babar 13 off 30

Ramiz Raja level

 

[jnaveen1980]

Fakhr is a 50/50 player always. It may or may not come off. You cannot bank completely on such players. They can provide impetus. Others have to take it forward.

 

[jamie smith]

Brilliant batting from pak.
@RizwanT20Champ must be feeling proud.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Fakhar is struggling to run. Not a good sign.

Not struggling, he plays like that

 

[Greenstorm]

I still think Pakistan's going to win this I don't know how though

I have similar feeling. Maybe its Babar's day. Quick cameo from Fakhar can change things here.

 

[Energy]

Feeling really sorry for Fakhar here.

 

[emranabbas]

going at this rate we will score 120 at the end of 50 over

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Khusdil is your Axar Patel.

No he isn't

 

[PakFan2010]

Babar and Rizwan fans are a cancer to the Pakistan team.

 

[Fazzy321]

From highest PP score ever to lower PP score ever by Pakistan. Just Pakistani things

 

[Champ_Pal]

Deft touch by Babar.

 

[Asad T]

I have similar feeling. Maybe its Babar's day. Quick cameo from Fakhar can change things here.

he can't even run

 

[Asad Ali2004]

going at this rate we will score 120 at the end of 50 over

Yeah true but i think we will reach 200

 

[mominsaigol]

So no fakhar, no saim? Lol what does Pakistan even have, their weaker then Australia in this tournament

 

[Mesozoic]

I'm sensing a Babar Azam hundred today but in a losing cause.

 

[Asad Ali2004]

Deft touch by Babar.

Beautiful

 

[Rana]

Good bouncer

Was bowled with the mentality of a medium pacer

 

[Local.Dada]

Babar got out the same way to Bumrah with that shot in WT20

 

[Jazx]

Wondering why pakistan selected only 1 opener after Saim's injury for CT squad, is there no one else in domestics who can replace Saim!!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Babar got out the same way to Bumrah with that shot in WT20

And pandya and siraj

 

[Devadwal]

Bhai yeh NZ ke fielder 25 runs to fielding se save kar lete hai

 

[mominsaigol]

Fakhar should just get out now, It's better to save him for the future rather then risking his career ending today.

This game is lost due to saud, Babar and rizzu's rubbish.

No point in playing. Just have fakhar get out and call it quits.

 

[daytrader]

O'Rourke bowling a spell of 6 overs on the trot. Kaptaana this is what you need to learn. Use Shaheen like this

 

[jnaveen1980]

At this point Babar scores runs only if the ball is wide

 

[sweep_shot]

Babar played some great shots.

 

[Dantheone]

The top 3 batters were clueless as if they have been left in a minefield. All they needed to do was to keep a scoring rate around 5. Couldn't even manage that.

 

[m.shah]

Tournament sharu hote hi khatm Bye Bye Pakistan

 

[Greenstorm]

he can't even run

But can hit sixes.

 

[jamie smith]

Babar 13 off 30

Ramiz Raja level

following the steps of his godfather.

 

[RyanRyan10]

Flying Phillips

 

[Local.Dada]

And pandya and siraj

No I meant that shot to thirdman where he plays late.

 

[mominsaigol]

O'Rourke bowling a spell of 6 overs on the trot. Kaptaana this is what you need to learn. Use Shaheen like this

So you wish to send shaheen to the hospital lol
