Pakistan and New Zealand clashed in an electrifying contest in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with both teams looking to kickstart their campaign on a high note. The match, held at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, saw early dominance from New Zealand before Pakistan’s fiery pace attack, led by Naseem Shah, turned the game on its head.
Naseem Shah’s Magic Delivery Stuns Kane Williamson
New Zealand, after being put into bat by Pakistan, started steadily with Devon Conway and Will Young. However, Naseem Shah produced a stunning delivery to dismiss Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson, breaking the visitors’ momentum. The ball, delivered at express pace, nipped back in sharply, leaving Williamson with no answers.
The early breakthroughs set the stage for Pakistan’s comeback, as Abrar Ahmed also chipped in by removing the dangerous Devon Conway. The Pakistani bowlers showcased their class, keeping the run rate in check while building pressure on New Zealand’s middle order.
