Pakistan will face New Zealand in the 1st match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on 19 February 2025, at National Stadium, Karachi. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the PAK vs NZ match.

Match Preview

Pakistan will take on New Zealand in the opening match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 19. This will be a rematch of the recent tri-nation series final, where New Zealand defeated Pakistan on February 14.

Pakistan, playing at home, will have the advantage of familiar conditions. However, injuries are a big concern, especially the absence of opener Saim Ayub.

New Zealand also has injury troubles, with key pacer Lockie Ferguson ruled out. In a high-pressure ICC event, one mistake can be costly, and a single defeat could push teams closer to elimination.
