New Zealand have beaten Pakistan to win the Tri-Series 2025! What a performance it has been from the Black Caps, who have geared up for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in some style! The win for New Zealand was set by the bowlers with Will ORourke took four wickets while Michael Bracewell and captain Mitchell Santner took two wickets each as Pakistan were bowled out for 242 runs in 49.3 overs. For Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan scored 46, Salman Ali Agha chipped in with 45 and Tayyab Tahir hit 38 runs and these were the positives for the Green Shirts in the first innings. In response, New Zealand had contributions from the top and middle-order with Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham hitting half-centuries. Naseem Shah was Pakistan's best bowler, taking two wickets but it was a comprehensive win for the Black Caps in the end. These two teams meet in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener at the same venue (National Bank Stadium, Karachi) on February 19!

OUT! Shaheen Afridi has dismissed Tom Latham and Abrar Ahmed has taken the catch but not before suffering a bit of injury to his neck. This wicket, one has to believe, has come late for Pakistan with only 11 runs left for them to defend. Tom Latham c Abrar Ahmed b Shaheen Afridi 56(64)

14 Feb, 21:57 (IST)

FIFTY for Tom Latham, who has held this chase strongly with a good knock. New Zealand need 11 more runs and all what Pakistan can do is delay the inevitable here.

14 Feb, 21:42 (IST)

Tom Latham has been joined by Glenn Phillips in the middle and the two will look to guide New Zealand past the finish line. Daryl Mitchell was dismissed soon after getting to his half-century and Phillips, who smashed his maiden ODI hundred few days ago, will look to replicate that form.

14 Feb, 21:24 (IST)

Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham have batted well and they have put New Zealand in a good position. The Kiwis need 69 more runs off 78 deliveries and Pakistan need wickets to win this match from here on.

14 Feb, 21:02 (IST)

Daryl Mitchell and Tom Latham are out in the middle and they have kept New Zealand in the hunt. The two batters have spent some time at the crease and with the team needing 98 runs in 17 overs, they will look to do it with ease. Pakistan on the other hand, would hope for some early wickets.

14 Feb, 20:25 (IST)

OUT! Naseem Shah has provided Pakistan with the big wicket of Devon Conway! The left-hander has spent a considerable amount of time at the crease and has fallen in an attempt to increase the scoring rate. Devon Conway c Abrar Ahmed b Naseem Shah 48(74)

14 Feb, 20:15 (IST)

So 22 overs are done and Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway are out in the middle. Both players will aim at building a partnership and also hit the occasional boundary to keep the required run rate in check.

14 Feb, 20:01 (IST)

OUT! Kane Williamson has been dismissed and it is Salman Ali Agha who has provided Pakistan with the breakthrough! The right-hander came down the track but missed the ball which crashed into his stumps. A big moment in this match as Kane Williamson was batting well. Kane Williamson b Salman Agha 34(49)

14 Feb, 19:49 (IST)

Kane Williamson and Devon Conway have built a strong partnership that has yielded 67 runs and the two will look to take the game away from Pakistan. The hosts need to break this partnership or else this game can slip away quickly.
