Pakistan’s ICC Champions Trophy title defence begins on Wednesday
Karachi, 18 February 2025: The ninth edition of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will commence in Pakistan on Wednesday, 19 February, with winners of the 2017 edition, Pakistan, taking on New Zealand in the opening match of the tournament at the National Stadium in Karachi. The first ball of the match will be bowled at 2pm PKT.
The eight-team tournament will be played across three venues in Pakistan – Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi – as well as in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) from 19 February to 9 March.
Pakistan is all set to host an ICC event for the first time since the ICC Cricket World Cup 1996, which concluded with the final at the Gaddafi Stadium, where Sri Lanka defeated Australia by seven wickets.
In the lead-up to the ICC Champions Trophy, the three venues in Pakistan – Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, National Stadium Karachi and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium – have undergone major upgradation, offering players and spectators world-class facilities.
Pakistan enter the tournament as the defending champions, having beaten India in the final of the 2017 edition, led by Sarfaraz Ahmed. Fakhar Zaman was the player of the final for his imperious 114 off 106 deliveries, while Hasan Ali was named the player of the tournament for his tally of 13 wickets in five games.
The eight participating teams have been divided into two groups with hosts Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and New Zealand pooled in Group A while Group B comprises Afghanistan, current ODI World Cup champions Australia, England and South Africa.
Following their opening encounter against New Zealand, Pakistan will play their next two group matches on 23 February against India in Dubai and on 27 February against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi.
In the group stage, three matches apiece will be played in Dubai, Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi.
The first semi-final will be played on 4 March in Dubai. The newly-upgraded Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host the second semi-final on 5 March. If India do not qualify, the final will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium on 9 March, however, if they qualify, it will be held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Apart from winning this tournament in 2017, Pakistan has also reached the semi-finals of this competition on three occasions: 2000, 2004 and 2009.
Pakistan captain, Mohammad Rizwan: “A global event has come to Pakistan after 29 years, so I believe the entire nation is celebrating this historic occasion. There are no doubts about our performance, we have worked hard and learned from our mistakes. We hope that we play well tomorrow Insha’Allah.
“Our sole focus is on winning the tournament for the country and our people and we hope that we achieve the desired results.”
Pakistan’s 15-player squad:
Mohammad Rizwan (captain & wicket-keeper), Abrar Ahmed, Babar Azam, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Kamran Ghulam, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hasnain, Naseem Shah, Salman Ali Agha (vice-captain), Saud Shakeel, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Tayyab Tahir and Usman Khan.

LIVE: Pakistan vs New Zealand – ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Despite being hit for a first-ball boundary, the left-arm quick comes back superbly by bowling all dots for the remainder of the over.
Shaheen is re-introduced into the attack.
He overpitches on his first ball, with Latham leaning into a sumptuous drive through the covers.
Latham keeps strike with a single worked away to the leg side.
With an aerial clip over midwicket, the left-hand batter brings up a fine fifty off 61 balls.
It has been an excellent supporting hand as New Zealand look well placed for a challenging total.
Just the two runs so far from his first three balls.
With a single to the leg side, the New Zealand opener reaches 100 off 107 balls. He has been the glue that has held this innings so far, especially when you consider the tricky batting surface.
The 100-run partnership between these two is soon reached after off just 111 deliveries. The 35th over soon ends with the visitors 175 for 3.
Latham gets away the pull this time, finding the long leg boundary with ease.
New Zealand are currently projected to reach 251, but with seven wickets in hand, they will want to aim higher.
Latham pulls a shorter one from Rauf straight to the fielder at silly mid-off. The fielder jumps up for it but fails to hold onto the chance. The opportunity is met with groans from the crowd.
Then, off the very next ball, he cramps the left-hander as Latham offers up a chance nearby, but there is no one in the vicinity to claim it.
After replays confirm Latham had failed to make any contact, the original wide decision stands.
Pakistan are down to one review.
Latham goes after a slanting delivery down the leg side with a pull. He fails to connect, but Rizwan and Rauf are excited as they think he made contact with the ball.
It is initially wided by the umpire, but after some discussion, Rizwan signals for a review.
The world’s top-ranked ODI team, the holders and the 2000 champions firming as favourites to lift the trophy once again.
