Champions Trophy: Pakistan Win Toss, Opt To Bowl First Against New Zealand

February 19, 2025: The much-awaited opening match of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 is underway, with Pakistan and New Zealand facing off. Pakistan has won the toss and opted to field first, aiming to restrict New Zealand’s batting line-up and chase down the target effectively.

The Champions Trophy returns after an eight-year hiatus, and this edition is expected to be as exciting as ever. The competition is often seen as a “World Cup Lite,” bringing together the best teams in a more compact format, serving as a precursor to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027.

Both teams are eager to get off to a strong start, especially after India, the host nation, will also be aiming to dominate in the 50-over format after missing out on the ICC World Test Championship final.

Stay tuned for live score updates, key moments, and match highlights as the game unfolds!
