Pakistan vs New Zealand LIVE Cricket Score, Champions Trophy 2025: Fakhar Zaman cleaned up by Michael Bracewell, PAK lose 3rd wicket

Earlier, Will Young and Tom Latham scored centuries to help New Zealand score 320. Under the lights, Pakistan will have to chase 321. While Young departed for 107 runs after scoring his first century away from New Zealand, Latham made his century off just 95 balls. There was also a blitz from Glenn Phillips who scored 61 runs off 39 balls. For Young, it a remarkable turn of events since he probably would have missed out on playing in today’s game if Rachin Ravindra was fit. Earlier, Pakistan skipper Mohammad Rizwan had won the toss and opted to bowl first against Mitchell Santner’s New Zealand.

Pakistan, meanwhile, will look to take full advantage of their home conditions as they hope for a successful ICC campaign after their dismal performances in the 2023 ODI World Cup and the 2024 T20 World Cup. They will also be bolstered by the return of pacer Haris Rauf who will add a much-needed dimension to their seam attack.
