Champions trophy 2025: Pakistan vs New Zealand Live Streaming: Where & how to watch PAK VS NZ match online for free
Srinagar, Feb 19: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 kicks off today, February 19, with hosts Pakistan facing New Zealand at the National Stadium in Karachi. This marks Pakistan's first time hosting an ICC tournament since 1996 and the return of the Champions Trophy after an eight-year hiatus. It’s also the first multi-team ICC event on Pakistani soil since the 2009 terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team.
As hosts, Pakistan will enjoy the familiar comforts of home, but New Zealand are no pushovers. Under the leadership of Mitchell Santner, the Kiwis are in scintillating form, having recently clinched the Tri-Nation series against Pakistan and South Africa.
However, New Zealand will be without key pacers Ben Sears and Lockie Ferguson, who were ruled out at the last moment due to injuries. Jacob Duffy and Kyle Jamieson have stepped in as their replacements.
