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

[Dr_Bassim]

Good carry.

Fast outfield.

I think 300 wins it.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

That little white box suggests otherwise

Thats NOW Tv.

They do that no matter which channel you watch.

 

[jamie smith]

Extra bounce for naseema.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Is it me or the broadcast quality of Tensports sucks?

This is an ICC broadcast bro.

Channels can only add their own graphics and commentary I guess.

 

[aukhan]

Is Fakhar injured or what?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Miscues getting them runs

 

[mominsaigol]

Is it me or the broadcast quality of Tensports sucks?

Am watching on sky sports. Good quality so far

 

[Bhaijaan]

SSA and Naseem must make use of this windy condition today. Fetch a few edges, bowl a tight line. It’s crucial if they mean to restrict Kiwis below 250.

Anything close to 300 will be tough to chase. Big chases don’t happen every time

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Is Fakhar injured or what?

Yep he's down and out getting hammered by the PCB

 

[Nikhil_cric]

That 62 m boundary already proving hard to protect.

 

[Major]

naa, channels adjust the broadcast aswell with the pixels.

When the bowler moves, the outer frame becomes blurred. PTV has better quality but their volume sucks.

 

[Slim]

@Major you are in pakistan, buy tapmad sub - its ad free and Hd from what i remember. What you doing watching tensports for?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Karachi is a national embarrassment, awful decision to give them the opening match.

It’s a major city with big population. If you can’t film the stadium here, where else. Hope the crowd builds up. Pakistan batting second maybe the reason

 

[FearlessRoar]

Is Fakhar injured or what?

yes he is

 

[Mohraheem]

Test match fielding

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Crowds going to come in when Pak chase

 

[Usman Chadda]

Our fitness levels really are terrible.

 

[Human786]

looks very flat , 300 par ? 17/0 in 3

Ok i wasn’t fully aware about that.

 

[boomboomcheema]

If this tournament opener involving the home side was in some Indian metro city like Mumbai or Bangalore, it would be completely packed with carnival atmosphere and here you have dead Karachi. Now don't claim that Karachi is more busier and busier lifestyle than Indian economic cities .

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Nearly 6 an over already they're going at

 

[Slim]

Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan anywhere. Karachi is a city filled with indian immigrants

jk

 

[Marooned]

Really fast outfield.

 

[jamie smith]

young in form.

 

[Major]

Watching it on tv.

Problem with tapmad etc is that these guys start deducting more money than they promise. They are advertising as Rs.1 but they deduct more. Not an issue paying, but have trust issues with them..

Watching the game on a PTCL shoq box.

 

[Mesozoic]

What's with the sound quality?

Looks like Star have sent their second tier sound enginners to Pakistan lol.

 

[Shafi]

Same old story again and again. Both Shaheen and Naseem are useless with the balls. Need whole set of changes after this CT but will never happen even we loose all 3 matches.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Haven't seen worst supposedly HD quality than PTV's. They're still stuck in 60's and 70s.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Has to be a high scoring encounter

Karachi sucks bhai. It should never be given games.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Poor bowling by Pakistan so far

No plans nothing bowling either side of the wicket

They're running hard and fast.

 

[JattMaula]

Lahore, Rawalpindi, Multan anywhere. Karachi is a city filled with indian immigrants

Indian immigrants tend to fill cricket stadiums.

Yar major, you cannot shell out a few rupees for your own comfort? Stop being a cheapass and buy the sub and download the app on your smart tv.

 

[jamie smith]

PHainta loading.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

You're talking like they've got Ambrose and Walsh sitting out there

na man, i wont. I dont like Tapmad deducting money without my knowledge. Its a matter of principal

 

[Bhaijaan]

Naseem has to get a wicket. This is wastage of bounce and wind on offer.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Not good this... Need to do better Naseem

 

[Buzzinga]

Whats happening!!! Just tuned in to see the stands empty in a Pak match. Looks like there isn't much hype for an ICC tournament in Karachi.

Regarding the playing conditions, outfield doesn't look like of international standard.

 

[followed]

Lol it's gonna be the repeat of 2023 world cup where they scored 400 runs against pakistan.

 

[Major]

so? we still won that game

Try tamasha, i heard they dont charge

Especially with the home team playing.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Are there any fitness standards to even begin with

 

[Omer2002]

Young couldnt score a run b4 and now will hit a century..can anybody tell me what is diff btw naseem and faheems bowling

 

[jamie smith]

paindu bowling as usual.

 

[mominsaigol]

so? we still won that game

No fakhar this time. Hopefully he isn't injured

 

[Mohraheem]

Introduce spin!

 

[followed]

so? we still won that game

Lol yeah by luck and fakhar zaman's destructive innings. They won't chase more than 320 here.

 

[jamie smith]

he was mots in indian tests

Young couldnt score a run b4 and now will hit a century..can anybody tell me what is diff btw naseem and faheems bowling

 

[Slim]

Y’all need to relax and give it some time before you bleed your wrists dry.

 

[PakFan2010]

This is the cycle of Pakistan

1. Play bilateral ODI series vs weakened teams
2. Win bilaterial ODI seriess and gain confidence, Babar and Rizwan score lots of runs.
3. Turn up to ICC events and play full-strength teams.
4. Lose in ICC events.

Shaheen 145 kph good stuff. He is bowling with good pace for last few matches.

 

[jamie smith]

145 kph from shaheen.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan matches in Bharat had more seats filled out during CWC 2023 bro.

People of Karachi better show some love to the home team and fill the stadium by half time.

 

[Mohraheem]

Yaaaaaar off per fielders rakhai haain.. aur leg per bowling or wa rahai hai ho! What is this ??

 

[jamie smith]

Shaheen 145 kph good stuff. He is bowling with good pace for last few matches.

we need wickets.

 

[Shafi]

You're talking like they've got Ambrose and Walsh sitting out there

Anyone better than Naseem. Pakistan has at least 3-5 better bowlers than Naseem and Hasnain. Shaheen doesn't have any desire to perform. He is after captaincy.

 

[Mohraheem]

Off per rakhooooo

 

[jamie smith]

need a wicket asap.

 

[Major]

Lol yeah by luck and fakhar zaman's destructive innings. They won't chase more than 320 here.

but we still won.

saud is embarrassing.
It boils my blood to see him playing another icc tournament after failing so hard in world cup 2023.

 

[Dr_Bassim]

so? we still won that game

That was never a full game.

And yes I agree, without Fakhar we wouldnt have won the half game either.

Lets see if Fakhar is injured or not.

 

[BouncerGuy]

Phainta this is

Give it a hour or two, the crowd is getting louder by the minute.

Time for Babar, Rizwan, Fakhar, Shaheen, Naseem & Haris to perform or perish forever. These guys are occupying spots since 7-8 years and played so many ICC tournaments, if they can't win this time they have to leave

 

[Major]

good captancy by Rizwan, bringing in spin early

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pakistan make first bowling change.

Abrar comes on with the spin

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Not too hopeful looks like 300+ which is tough in such a big game

 

[Slim]

The outfield is blazing fast.

 

[Rana]

Fakhar been out since first over

What’s the rule for him to bat and what position? How long can he stay out for if he wants to open?

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Anyone better than Naseem. Pakistan has at least 3-5 better bowlers than Naseem and Hasnain. Shaheen doesn't have any desire to perform. He is after captaincy.

Name the 3

 

[jamie smith]

nerd abrar into the attack.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Give it a hour or two, the crowd is getting louder by the minute.

Guess so.
Pakistan should have batted first here.

 

[FearlessRoar]

The mystery spinner is on

 

[Omer2002]

What a bad move bringing abrar..i wud.have tried agha first abrar is uselesss and in power play not good

Asking the important questions

 

[pakistani pride]

Powder puff bowling attack.
SSA cant wait to get away and play the T5 in Somalia.

 

[YousafTheBeast]

Our 2 new ball bowlers can"t bowl 140+, am I an Indian?
