New Zealand will commence their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Pakistan at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 19 (Sunday). The two teams were recently involved in the final of a tri-series, also involving South Africa, with New Zealand getting the better of Pakistan at the same venue, and that will give them a lot of confidence going into this encounter.
The Black Caps are placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh and India. Since the 2023 ODI World Cup, where they lost to India in the semis, New Zealand have played 12 ODIs and won seven of those games.
