00:10The 9th edition of the Men's ICC Champions Trophy, the first ICC event hosted in Pakistan in 29 years.
00:18Right, just a reminder of what has happened here. Pakistan have won the toss. They'll be bowling first.
00:23It's really, really special. Let's get it going. The Champions Trophy is underway.
00:35Drive from Young. So that'll be the first runs. They'll get a couple. It wasn't perfectly timed.
00:40But the outfield is very, very fast. In fact, they'll come back for three.
00:45Missed time from Conway, but he'll get away with it. A hand comes off the bat, which is a bit
00:49of a trademark.
00:50It'll be the first boundary of this Champions Trophy, and it was a miscue.
01:00And here's an example of that. There's another shot from Conway, which wasn't perfectly timed.
01:06Deep backwards square could not get round to it.
01:08And already they've got problems, Pakistan. They're leaking runs too early.
01:14That'll be four. You cannot get onto the pads. Ian Bishop said, scarce on the onside are the fielders.
01:21You cannot bowl that line.
01:25Glorious drive. Shot of the day so far from Will Young. A boundary to end the over.
01:34Pace off, but he just chips it over cover.
01:38We're in one just behind square on the next side.
01:41Filed him. Beautiful wrong in.
01:43What a terrific delivery. A great start for Abra.
01:46Tidy first and he's picked up in his second.
01:50And there's that length again. He just goes on the back foot.
01:53But I guess he's not red this.
01:56It is the one that just leaves the left-hander.
02:02Big wicket.
02:06And that one just sort of went straight on.
02:11It actually not turned. It was the Karam ball, but it's just gone straight on.
02:15But the length was key again.
02:19Pakistan happy. Captain happy.
02:22First wicket. And that goes to spin.
02:25One way out for ten. It's 39 for one.
02:31Oh, a little edge. A little edge.
02:34Williamson on his way. Brilliant.
02:36From Nassim.
02:37And a good take from the skipper behind as well.
02:40Back to back for Pakistan.
02:42Pakistan flying. So is Nassim.
02:46Huge wicket.
02:48Williamson has just played two deliveries.
02:52Nassim Shah with that back of a length.
02:55Hitting the surface.
02:57Into the pitch.
03:00Just off for enough.
03:02A faint little edge.
03:05And the crowd erupts.
03:07Rizwan erupts.
03:08Pakistan back in the game.
03:10Big time.
03:16Williamson just the one. It's 40 for two.
03:22And a released.
03:25Half volley.
03:26Leg stump.
03:26Put away.
03:28He ends the ninth over.
03:34And this is a glove or not.
03:37The keen. The keen.
03:38If you're that keen.
03:40Might want to go to the third umpire.
03:46And at the moment.
03:48Abrar is really stifling the opposition.
03:51The inside edge.
03:52Outfield does the rest.
03:57High and gone.
03:58That's a big side of the ground.
04:00And that's disappeared by some margin.
04:06He's wide on the crease as well.
04:08He's on the extremes of the crease.
04:10And still gets that to hold significantly.
04:16Easily done.
04:17Harris Ralf is well and truly back.
04:21That's pace and hustle.
04:23And the end of Mitchell.
04:27Trying to get back into the pocket to create a link that suited him to hit square.
04:32Darrell Mitchell.
04:32And that's been his downfall in the end.
04:35Getting tied under.
04:3710 off 24.
04:38But the extra bit of pace.
04:41Bounces well.
04:43High on the back.
04:44Trying to hit it up and over.
04:46Fantastic delivery.
04:48Just picking up wickets regular here.
04:49Pakistan.
04:51That's what it means to him.
04:53Welcome back.
04:57Mitchell's gone for 10.
04:5873 for 3 New Zealand.
05:02That is on 49 now.
05:07Nicely compiled half century.
05:10For Will Young.
05:12Will Young is 11th in ODIs.
05:15And it's seizing the opportunity.
05:20Glorious.
05:21Absolutely nailed that, Will Young.
05:24Wow.
05:25Clicked the link very, very quickly.
05:28I'm coming up.
05:29I'm coming up with it.
05:29Go ahead.
05:31Beautifully swept.
05:32And this outfield is lightning quick.
05:35If you get it past the fielder, you're going to get big benefits.
05:40Nice shot.
05:41It's all about the placement there for Will Young.
05:44He had to beat mid-wicket.
05:45He did it with consummate ease.
05:48Yes.
05:51Into the gap.
05:51It's a fast outfield.
05:53They'll run away to the boundary.
05:57Very good shot.
05:59Struck sweetly down the ground.
06:01Minimal fuss and maximum game.
06:08Chance at the non-strike again.
06:10I think he's hit the stance.
06:11Definitely hit the stance.
06:13What is it going to be as he made his ground?
06:18This is touch and go.
06:20Good drama out there.
06:22I'm looking at the triscreen now.
06:25Battsman is safely grounded.
06:27Bills are off.
06:28I have a decision for the big screen.
06:30I'm sure we'll see a knot out.
06:31But it was a tight single.
06:34But that's how New Zealand hit.
06:40That's such a good shot.
06:42Into the gap in four runs.
06:47Another sweep shot.
06:48Another glorious sweep shot.
06:50He ends this over.
06:51On a massive high.
06:53Two fours.
06:55New Zealand.
06:56148 for three.
07:02Don't think so.
07:03He did hit him outside the stops.
07:10Jabbing it down.
07:11It gets it past Rizwan.
07:12Probably hit the fence as well.
07:16Dare I say again.
07:17It's a lightning fast outfield.
07:20Backfielder didn't have any hope.
07:22159 for three.
07:27Has that been taken?
07:28Rizwan is pretty keen.
07:31Has been given as a wide.
07:36On a flat line at the moment.
07:38Flat line.
07:38It's passing the glove now.
07:40Flat line.
07:41Flat line.
07:42Keep going.
07:43Flat line.
07:43I'm satisfied that there's no bat involved.
07:46Richard, you'll be staying with your original decision of not out.
07:49Stand by.
07:55Shot ball put away for four.
07:59Plays a sweep shot.
08:01Gets it out.
08:03To deep square leg.
08:05And Will Young writes his name into the history books as the first player in this edition of the Champions
08:13Trophy to score 100.
08:15A magnificent, faultless display setting New Zealand up.
08:22Take a bow.
08:23That's a magnificent 100.
08:27Glorious shot.
08:29Placement.
08:30Absolutely superb.
08:34It's a real loosener from Shane Charafridi.
08:36First ball.
08:38Gives himself room.
08:40Will Young and plays a glorious shot through the offside.
08:44That is the sign of a man at the top of his game.
08:49Side.
08:50Oh, boy.
08:52This has gone high.
08:53It's a chance.
08:54It's an opportunity.
08:55It's a catch taken safely.
08:57They have broken the partnership.
09:04Bajimashra.
09:04Bajimashra.
09:05Steady.
09:06Under.
09:07A high ball.
09:08Which could prove crucial.
09:10Yeah.
09:12Again.
09:13Looking to go big.
09:14Looking to go up and under.
09:16Get it over the shorter leg side boundary.
09:20Bajimashra had to make some good ground.
09:23In the end, he takes a comfortable catch to the substitute fielder.
09:28But what a century from Will Young.
09:32Soak up the applause.
09:33It's a brilliant 107.
09:39Bajimashra goes over the top.
09:40And successfully so as well.
09:43Deep square leg was back, but not far enough.
09:45Straight away, if you're a newcomer.
09:49That's into the gap.
09:51And well stopped.
09:52So Yathaya there doing a good job.
09:57That would be a real competitive score on this pitch.
10:00While stopping, spinning at times.
10:03Really well done by Hayes.
10:05Tidy.
10:07Yeah, lovely.
10:08Down the ground.
10:09Power from Phillips.
10:12I was about to say, I have not seen a shot down the ground like this.
10:16Not a lot of spin.
10:17And they're so good at it now.
10:18Anchoring and still being able to snap their wrists through the ball.
10:23That has gone fine enough and far enough for another six for Tom Latham.
10:33Fielder's gone a bit finer, but he's not fine enough.
10:36Same line again.
10:39And now, Skipper not happy.
10:43Nice!
10:44Oh, that's gone fine and a race away for four more.
10:47A little bit of good fortune for Latham to finish the over.
10:50And that's a big one.
10:53Tidy.
10:55Yeah, lovely.
10:56Down the ground.
10:57Power from Phillips.
10:59I was about to say, I have not seen a shot down the ground like this.
11:03Not a lot of spin.
11:04Just a natural angle.
11:06Snap their wrists through the ball.
11:10That has gone fine enough and far enough for another six for Tom Latham.
11:17That's been the hallmark of his batting, the sweep shots.
11:20Latham.
11:23Fielder's gone a bit finer, but he's not fine enough.
11:27Same line again.
11:31Nice!
11:32Oh, that's gone fine and a race away for four more.
11:35A little bit of good fortune for Latham
11:37to finish the over.
11:39And that's a big one.
11:43Oh, beautifully timed and placed.
11:47Four to Phillips.
11:51Oh, that has just been powered down the ground from Phillips.
11:56Goodness me.
11:57We've seen some good ones today, but that is a high-quality shot.
12:01Huge advantage.
12:04Clever.
12:04Very clever indeed from Latham.
12:07Moves into the 90s with that.
12:11Special innings.
12:14Edged and away through the gap.
12:17Latham to 99.
12:24He eases it down to long on, an eight.
12:27One-day international century for New Zealand's keeper, Banner Tom Latham.
12:33Special moment for him here.
12:34It's the fifth time.
12:37The men's champion trophy cricket that the side has scored two hundreds in an innings.
12:44And that is a special one for Tom Latham.
12:48Yes, it's a special tournament.
12:50We're talking about champion trophy.
12:53The standard is high and so he's breezed into that hundred really without really breaking a sweat.
13:02Oh, wow, he's hit that hard.
13:05Yeah, very hard.
13:05It was quite flat.
13:07Momentarily thought Deepman Wicket had a chance, but not to be.
13:11He's a powerhouse, isn't he?
13:12Flying a softer, slower ball, not working.
13:17Goes again and six more.
13:19Big side or not.
13:23Goes back to back is Phillips.
13:29Straight to the man.
13:30Over the man for six.
13:32He was in off the boundary a little way.
13:35And downwind, not sure that's necessary.
13:4350 for Glenn Phillips.
13:45Powerful one at that of just 34 deliveries.
13:50Yeah, magnificent innings.
13:53Talk about also in the short time is quite patient early.
14:01That is a terrific shot.
14:04It's a brilliant ball, balling, bit of bowling.
14:09I'm going to go straight.
14:11Don't worry about the lap if you can do that.
14:13Yeah, just got it slightly wrong.
14:16Two superb deliveries, which...
14:21How good is that?
14:22Bullet lag drive.
14:24It's such an incredible innings from Phillips
14:26and they don't have an answer how to control him.
14:32Straight up.
14:33Should be taken.
14:34Is taken.
14:36Bukha Zaman with the catch.
14:38And the end of a partnership.
14:40But it's been a brilliant one
14:41from New Zealand's point of view
14:43as Phillips goes.
14:46New Zealanders had positioned themselves for a Phillips blitz.
14:51And, well, the idea was right.
14:54All he had to do was to maybe middle it a bit more.
14:57And he is absolutely just one-to-one.
15:01But he's got to go after playing.
15:06Oh, there's a gap leg.
15:08Oh, dear.
15:09Oh, well done.
15:09Well done.
15:11He might come back for three in the end.
15:14But it could easily have been four with a little miss field.
15:17And a bra doing the clean-up work.
15:20And that will mean a nice round number from New Zealand's point of view of 320.
15:26New Zealand sent into bat.
15:29And it was a brilliant hundred from Will Young.
15:31And so that is what Pakistan need.
15:34It's the opening encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy for 2025.
15:39It's got to be steady show up front.
15:43We've got a left-hander in South Shaquille opening the innings now.
15:46With Barbara Azan.
15:48Very secure upside field for the left-hander.
16:02Edge and taken.
16:04It really is a very good grab.
16:06Young there getting underneath the ball and making sure that he held on to it.
16:11So a slash ending South's existence at the crease.
16:16It's a good breakthrough.
16:19Matt Henry worth a great pair of hands.
16:22Time and time again.
16:24We say it.
16:24New Zealand very rarely let themselves down on the field.
16:28This is all about a little bit of extra pace.
16:31He's flashed hard.
16:33Just a tick over 140.
16:35Yeah.
16:36Safely above the ground there, Matt Henry.
16:40Ends South Shaquille's innings.
16:43New Zealand with an early breakthrough.
16:45Don't even think it's early enough for Faka to come out yet.
16:49Gone for six.
16:49Eight for one.
16:53That is glorious.
16:55That is...
16:57Typical Barbara Azan cover drive.
17:02What a long way to come and watch this.
17:08That's close.
17:09That is close, but maybe sliding down and then a run-out opportunity.
17:13It's all happening.
17:19Gets that one through.
17:20And the crowd will tell you that that'll be four.
17:24He's just been craving some wet butter as he finally gets one through.
17:31Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow.
17:34Get in the game, Glenn Phillips.
17:36And even O'Rourke just stands and smiles at that.
17:40That is an unbelievable grab.
17:43New Zealand are sitting standards early in this tournament.
17:50How often do we see it from Glenn Phillips?
17:55That's hammered from Rizwan.
17:58That's in the top corner.
18:03That's great camera work.
18:07Every single time the ball is in the air near Glenn Phillips, you know that he's a chance.
18:13It's a painful three gone for Rizwan.
18:23That's some intent from Fakir Zaman.
18:26He's incredibly aggressive against spin.
18:29He won't allow Michael Bracewell to settle.
18:33He'll look to get after him.
18:35He's got to.
18:37He simply has to.
18:41Charges this time.
18:43It's a miscue.
18:44But it lands safely.
18:47Not if he can't run, though.
18:48That's the problem.
18:49He can't run.
18:53That's a great shot.
18:55Magnificent timing.
18:57Gosh, that's clever.
19:02Crunched that.
19:02Crunched that just short.
19:04And the next list has gone through.
19:07Took a gamble.
19:08Deep point.
19:08Took a gamble.
19:13Charges.
19:13Straight down the ground for four.
19:24It's not right out of the middle.
19:26But it's still the boundary.
19:33He's gone.
19:34Fakir Zaman is gone.
19:35He's down on his haunches.
19:36He's in absolute agony here.
19:39He just can't continue, surely.
19:46Beats the fielder.
19:47That's nicely struck.
19:49He is good with that shot.
19:50The slot sweep or the original sweep.
19:54That's a natural arc for him.
19:57Please.
19:58Another sweep shot.
19:59Another four.
20:00This is now happening for Fakir.
20:03Solidly put away.
20:05Two boundaries and that over.
20:0649 for two.
20:15And yes.
20:18So momentum has certainly picked up.
20:2250 comes up for Pakistan.
20:25Barbara Azam hits the four.
20:26And the crowd erupts.
20:33Conviction until now.
20:38Yeah, he's a strong striker away through mid-wicket against the spin.
20:48And at the moment, his plan is, can he work it across?
20:51Close run out.
20:52This could be out.
20:55Oh, peaked on that.
20:56Maybe not.
20:57For the first time in a game where you're under pressure.
21:00That's kind of the reverse of what I was thinking.
21:02Like, looking at what you don't have.
21:06Boy, that's way closer than you expected.
21:15Catch it is the call.
21:16Will this be taken?
21:17It's a tough one.
21:18And he hit.
21:19Oh, he drops it.
21:21Conway there.
21:23For a moment, I felt that he had it covered.
21:26And he was walking off.
21:28Fakir.
21:31I think he lost it when he hit the ground, I think, Conway.
21:38Yes, he's gone now.
21:41Fakir Zaman once again trying that slot sweep.
21:44And it had to end because he was on the edge.
21:48He's really not motoring along.
21:51He's not comfortable out there at the crease.
21:53And so, took a risk.
21:56And this time, Bracewell hits the stumps.
21:59The ball not spinning.
22:01It's more the straighter line and a straighter ball.
22:03They hit the middle stump.
22:0624 of 41.
22:07Fakir did try extremely hard.
22:10A warrior, as he's known to his fans.
22:1324 of 41.
22:1469 for three.
22:17Oh!
22:19Bold.
22:21Beautifully bold again from Santner.
22:24He is a magician at the moment.
22:27He really is.
22:38Skids across the turf.
22:39Nathan Smith can't control that one and keep it in.
22:42So, welcome boundary for Solmanaga.
22:49Nice and fine.
22:50Nice and fine.
22:50This should be back to boundaries.
22:55Something for the locals to get excited about all of a sudden.
23:01Got to get him if they get half an opportunity and they've got one put away.
23:05Selman does well.
23:13Fortune's changing for what the brave may be.
23:17And that's what they say.
23:19Take a risk.
23:20And if it's your night, things may happen.
23:26Over the top of extra cover.
23:29That's a beautiful strike for six.
23:31It's gone the distance and Selman has kicked into gear here.
23:34Has he kicked Pakistan into gear?
23:40It's time over mid-wicket.
23:42Conway won't get anywhere near it.
23:43One bounce, four.
23:49All of a sudden.
23:54Nicely worked.
23:55And it's gone away.
23:57Things are changing for New Zealand.
23:59It's gone away from Will Young.
24:01And maybe that could be a boundary as well.
24:04They'll have a look at it.
24:10The change of bowling has worked.
24:13Selman, who had played reasonably well and aggressively,
24:17falls to about a quick enough short delivery from Smith.
24:23It's banged in.
24:25Mid on and mid off.
24:26Both up inside the circle.
24:29Selman looking to get down at Nathan Smith.
24:31Trying to put some pressure on the new bowler.
24:33But he's just laid on it.
24:35No control.
24:39You don't get many easier catches than that, Michael Bracewell.
24:45Flashy innings.
24:46Comes to an end.
24:48Selman goes for 42.
24:50It's 127 for four.
24:55Straight to mid-wicket.
24:59And good bowling.
25:03Brings reward.
25:08Changes the pace of Mitch Satin.
25:09It just goes hand in hand.
25:11This time 90k an hour.
25:13Flatter, harder into the wicket.
25:20Disappointment in the crowd.
25:23Just skidded on.
25:24Trying to get up and over the top of that field.
25:26It came Williamson in there.
25:28He has so much control through the middle phases.
25:31Mitch Satin.
25:31New Zealand picking up back-to-back wickets quickly here.
25:35So here going for one.
25:36128 for five.
25:38For Pakistan over ten.
25:40High in the air.
25:42Short side of the ground.
25:43And all the way for six.
25:44Six.
25:51Beautiful.
25:54This time played with much more power and precision.
26:03That's four.
26:07So a six for Bava not too long ago.
26:11And now another bold stroke of aggression.
26:19Should be taken.
26:21Kane Williamson pockets it.
26:24And Satin strikes again.
26:28The end of Baburazam.
26:34Mitchell Satin again.
26:38Such a tough player to swing across the line.
26:44The end of Baburazam.
26:44Baburazam.
26:46Boundary two balls before.
26:49Tries to repeat it.
26:56Kane Williamson is never going to drop that.
26:59Even with a bobble.
27:03Mitchell Sander is on fire.
27:06As drinks come onto the ground.
27:08Baburazam goes for 64.
27:10And with that maybe Pakistan's chances.
27:12It's 153 for six.
27:18Hit the gap nicely.
27:21Hit the gap nicely.
27:22Kushville Shah.
27:30Nice shot to bring up a boundary.
27:31Much more of that needed.
27:33From Pakistan.
27:34One six.
27:35Six for six.
27:40Over the top.
27:41It'll spin away.
27:42It might spin away for four.
27:44It does.
27:47Push ones.
27:48Run hard.
27:50Find a way to keep fighting.
27:53It's a good little performance here.
27:55Kush still.
27:56Striking the ball nicely.
28:01Ah, good from Shaheen.
28:05Straight down the ground for six.
28:08Yeah, I love that Simon do.
28:10I just figure that.
28:13If you're going to go down.
28:15And the ship is almost certainly sunk here.
28:17At least go down with that great intent.
28:20Find their way.
28:23Good shot.
28:24To the good, clean strike.
28:25Yes, it is.
28:29Kush still.
28:29So, it's a really proactive innings here.
28:31That's punished.
28:39Little edge through to Latham.
28:42And Henry's got his first of the night.
28:44Superb opening spell.
28:46And he's picked one up in his sixth over now.
28:54Yeah, the shot ball skidded off the surface.
28:56And just going away from Shaheen Shah Freedy.
29:00Big nick.
29:02Comfortable from Latham.
29:03But Henry's brilliant work in this game continues.
29:08Just rewards for him.
29:11Shaheen Shah.
29:12And Shaheen Shah Freedy.
29:13He's out for 14.
29:15200 for seven.
29:16Pakistan.
29:19Could be out.
29:21No, it's just tease Stephen Conway all night.
29:24I mean, it just has.
29:33It's a 50 for Kush Dele.
29:34He's under a lot of pressure to perform.
29:38Oh, their hand.
29:41Flat battered for four more.
29:46It's impressive, but it's too late.
29:51Yes, but in a way, good for Pakistan.
29:54The late order batsman is finding some form.
29:58There's always value to have if he's a left-hander.
30:09Found another gap.
30:11Absolutely found another gap.
30:13With precision.
30:18To catapult the innings.
30:21Over mid-off for four.
30:24And into the 60s goes Kush Dele.
30:30Try anything new.
30:34She's played well.
30:35He hasn't over-hit anything.
30:37He's just worked it into gaps.
30:39This is a gem of an innings, this.
30:43Boy, that's gone high.
30:46Has it gone far enough?
30:47I think it may have just.
30:50It was touch and go down there.
30:52Daryl Mitchell lined it up.
30:54Couldn't get the job done.
30:55A six to end the over.
30:58It's 2.36 for eight.
31:01Oh, boy.
31:02Some sort of shot that.
31:05My goodness me.
31:09Put that in the bag for magic moments.
31:14Six more.
31:18Having some fun at the end, Pakistan.
31:24Yeah, both loving it.
31:31Six more.
31:32They just keep flowing from the bats of the tail enders.
31:35Who are staring at the top-order players and saying,
31:38It can be done.
31:45Right.
31:46Mitchell in play this time.
31:48Mitchell safe.
31:49And that is the end of a very entertaining knock from Harris-Rolfe.
31:56Just couldn't get the timing this time around.
32:00He was always going to keep coming hard, Harris-Rolfe.
32:04This time, deciding to run down the wicket.
32:07Just no connection.
32:11Mitchell, as comfortable as you like.
32:15Santner gets his third with his last delivery.
32:18Ralph goes for 19.
32:23That's it.
32:24It's all over.
32:26Henry does the job.
32:27And New Zealand win this match convincingly by 60 runs.
32:33It's been a polished performance from the visitors.
32:37They go four in a row of recent times on Pakistan soil.
32:42And Mitch Santner has got a good unit here, finely tuned.
32:49Outstanding performance by New Zealand.
32:52They were clinical right throughout.
32:55If you'd have said to Mitchell Santner,
32:58particularly after losing the toss,
32:59that you'll win this game by 60 runs.
33:01And you'll win it a long way out as well.
33:04He'd have taken that deal any time.
33:06And that is actually the story.
33:08Mr. Durade Qureshi, CEO and founder of Hum Network,
33:12to award the medal for player of the match with Tom Latham, please.
33:17Tom with his fabulous 100.
33:20Thank you, please.
33:21Say a few words.
