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

[Slim]

Nz spinners licking their fingers after watching the behaviour of pitch.

Big day for Saud to show his skills against spinners.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Typical Rauf start

Exactly ... same way how he started the entire 2023 CWC ... giving away 32 runs in 2 overs and then keep catching up the RPO in the remaining overs and end up with 10-0-81-2

They need to get a proper score first

 

[Major]

Why the hell are there voice of spectators coming through the broadcast feed?

Khair hai na bro, the little child said she was standing beside.

 

[kingusama92]

Move the fans away from the cameras.

 

[Slim]

Why the hell are there voice of spectators coming through the broadcast feed?

its fixed now. The sound mixing guy hasnt been doing his job well. The crowd is much more louder than its showing on tv.

 

[followed]

Decent over by haris with good pace at an average 89 mph

Big day for Saud to show his skills against spinners.

If him and Abraar have a good tournament then chances of Pakistan progressing to the final stages of the tournament improves by leaps and bounds..

 

[Dr_Bassim]

300 wins it ?

Any one?

 

[m.shah]

Broadcasting quality looks good

 

[ask_analyse_act]

Decent over by haris with good pace at an average 89 mph

Nice to see that he clawed back, good over without a boundary... Under Rizwan there is a clear difference in guidance , Babar was clueless when haris was clobbered to all parts of the ground..

 

[Rana]

300 wins it ?

Any one?

Don’t think so buddy

I’m sticking to 330 with dew factor to play it’s role

 

[m.shah]

Fakhar injured? That's bad for Pakistan chances

 

[Human786]

300 wins it ?

Any one?

possible if Fakhar is unable to bat in top 5 .

 

[jamie smith]

Good start for pak.

 

[Major]

A request to Indians shut their TVs for 30 seconds, they just posted the 2017 score card

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is a 270-280 wicket just like Tri Series Final.

Rizwan needs to bring in Khushdil and Salman now to take 5th bowler quota out of equation. Can't be bowling 5th bowler in death overs.

 

[BouncerGuy]

THREAD IS NOT ABOUT PAKISTAN VS INDIA SO STOP DISCUSSING AND BRINING IRRELEVANT STUFF NOW

 

[Major]

Good captaincy by Rizwan brining in Khusdil.

 

[m.shah]

Parchi useless player ever to play for Pakistan into the attack'

 

[BouncerGuy]

Fakhar injured? That's bad for Pakistan chances

Update:
Fakhar Zaman is being assessed and examined for a muscular sprain and further updates will be provided in due course.

 

[aukhan]

Khushkdil Shah is a KPK quota selection.

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

Need to get another wicket soon

 

[hamzie]

Parchis numbers are horrible

 

[Rana]

How do slow/dry pitches work in India? They get harder to bat on even under lights+dew?

@Devadwal @Nikhil_cric

 

[BouncerGuy]

Saud has been poor in the field ... letting go singles.

 

[saimayubera]

A request to Indians shut their TVs for 30 seconds, they just posted the 2017 score card

well, using that logic you should your tv for the entirety of sunday.

 

[Major]

Khushkdil si getting some good turnnn

damnnn

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

its fixed now. The sound mixing guy hasnt been doing his job well. The crowd is much more louder than its showing on tv.

I still keep hearing it

 

[jamie smith]

fakedil is gonna be belted today.

 

[hamzie]

Parchis getting spin

 

[aukhan]

Saud has been poor in the field ... letting go singles.

he is a Poor fielder.

 

[Major]

well, using that logic you should your tv for the entirety of sunday.

making zero sense as always, my indian friend pretending to be a Pakistani...

 

[m.shah]

Imagine Santner bowling here after Khushdil getting such turn

 

[kingusama92]

Geez no one wants to hear the fans talking in the background.

 

[Rana]

Khushdil ripping it Ya Allah Khair!

 

[Devadwal]

How do slow/dry pitches work in India? They get harder to bat on even under lights+dew?

@Devadwal @Nikhil_cric

Under the dew batting will become easier. No grip and turn for the spinners.

 

[Human786]

get the feeling NZ will not go beyond 250-255 & PK will win the match . 73/2 in 16

 

[Major]

Very good over by Happyheart.

 

[Marooned]

This pitch is making me nervous.

Khushdil just turned it square.

 

[ask_analyse_act]

thats a serious turn.... Santner and Bracewell would see it as encouraging signs..

 

[Dr_Bassim]

Don’t think so buddy

I’m sticking to 330 with dew factor to play it’s role

Look at Khushdil turning it miles.

This doesnt look 330 to me.

 

[Rana]

Saud has been poor in the field ... letting go singles.

He wants a fight with someone from NZ

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Bring on Agha

 

[YousafTheBeast]

khushdilithran

 

[Slim]

Parchi is spinning it crazy, idk if to be happy or be fearful

 

[Human786]

OUTTTTTTTTTTT

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Rauf gets Mitchell

 

[Major]

Khushdil got alot of turn, so this pitch has something for spinners. I think If Khushdil bowls 10 overs, might aswell try Salman Agha. No need to bowl out Shaheenn


And as I type, Rauf got a wicket.

 

[Ahmed216]

khushdilithran

Khushdil Vettori

 

[m.shah]

Rauf gets Mitchell

 

[hamzie]

Harisssss

 

[BouncerGuy]

Haris strikes...... MITCHELL GONE>.........

 

[aukhan]

rowdy rauf

 

[shah9425]

Huge

 

[Major]

@Rana is not happy with that wicket. He is saying it was the 3rd boucner of the over

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

73/3

 

[Devadwal]

NZ is feeling the huge pressure now. Somthing is going to happen in next couple of over

 

[kingusama92]

RAUF!

Terrible shot from Mitchell.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This is what pace does for you. Haris RAUF is back baby

 

[Marooned]

What a poor dismissal. Mitchell of all guys.

Not complaining tho

Big big wicket, IM SO HAPPY LFGGG!!!!!!! Crowd on fireee. Mannnnn :’)))

This doesnt look 330 to me.

This is the point though. It might not turn anywhere near as good for NZ

Now Mitchell out

NZ in big trouble, 3 top batters in the hut

 

[aukhan]

Get Young out now.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Mitchell tormentor gone!!

 

[shamaan]

Express pace.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Latham has to be the easiest wicket in this line-up. And Rauf got him first ball last time too

 

[hamzie]

What's happening with fakhar
Need him back for the chase

 

[Slim]

Naseem had rattled Mitchell enough. Good stuff boys!

 

[shah9425]

Another wicket needed

 

[Deewana Mastana]

It is still a 330 pitch atleast.

Should've had 50k posts and 25k reactions by now

 

[Devadwal]

I said just before the wickets .

 

[Major]

Meanwhile sir @Dr_Bassim still praying for 400+

Guy bought a UHD for this match, only to wish NZ to score 400
