Unpredictable Pakistan Loose Tri-Series Final Against New Zealand: Commit Series of Blunders, Watch

Shaheen Afridi Drops Tom Latham, DRS Decision Costs Pakistan Ahead of Champions Trophy 2025

Pakistan’s unpredictable cricketing nature was on full display in the Tri-Nation Series Final against New Zealand, just days ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025. From missing a crucial DRS call to dropping a sitter, the Men in Green made several costly errors as New Zealand secured a comfortable victory.

📌 Pakistan’s Two Big Blunders:

1️⃣ DRS Shock – Abrar Ahmed trapped Tom Latham LBW, but Pakistan chose not to review. Hawk-eye confirmed the ball would’ve hit the stumps—a wasted opportunity.
2️⃣ Dropped Catch – A few overs later, Shaheen Afridi had a chance to dismiss Latham again, but he failed to hold onto an easy return catch when Latham was on 15.

Latham capitalized on these mistakes, scoring a crucial 56 runs before getting dismissed, helping New Zealand cruise to a five-wicket win.

New Zealand’s chase: Tom Latham (56), Daryl Mitchell (57), Devon Conway (48), and Kane Williamson (34) ensured a dominant victory.
Pakistan’s total: Set 242 runs, with Mohammad Rizwan & Salman Ali Agha rescuing the innings. Late cameos from Tayyab Tahir, Faheem Ashraf, and Naseem Shah added some respectability.

Despite Pakistan’s rollercoaster tournament, their fielding lapses and decision-making errors cost them in the final.
