Pak vs NZ: ‘Where will the end, start from there, Pakistan with expectations ..! Kiwi will be able to defeat the team’s challenge: Can Kiwi overcome Pakistan’s expectations?

Jaipur: The TRAI Nation Series being played in Pakistan before the Champions Trophy 2025 has reached the thrilling phase. The host Pakistan had become the center of all -round criticism after the defeat to the Kiwi team in the first match. Many former players of the country were expressing anger over the team management over the reshuffle made in the batting order of the team. Even after opening Babar Azam, many former captains took out their anger. But, on Wednesday, Pakistan captain and vice-captain not only stopped speaking everyone with their best game, but also gave the message of ‘stay’ to all the teams before the Champions Trophy. Pakistan on Wednesday achieved a target of 353 runs with one over remaining, beating the African team by 6 wickets, breaking all the records made so far in the ‘do or die’ match. Now in the final to be held tomorrow, Pakistan will face Kiwi team New Zealand, who defeated it in the first match.

The finals before the Champions Trophy will be a kind of rehearsal for Pakistan or say that Pakistan will start the Tri -series from where the Champions will start the Trophy. The Kiwi team will compete with the Kiwi team in the final and then in the opening match of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s clash will also be held by the Kiwi team.

Was the final outline prepared already?

In Pakistan, when this tri -series was planned before the Champions Trophy, perhaps the outline of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the players to reach the finals was prepared. On one hand, where the Kiwi team was the best team of the tournament with the best performance, now New Zealand will have to plan a separate plan for the final. Because Pakistan has turned all the equations of the Kiwi team by showing the best game before the final.

Middle order is strengthened, Babur will be monitored

Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Agha have warned the Keyis and all the teams playing in the Champions Trophy by making a huge partnership of 260 runs for the fourth wicket against the African team not to make any team forgetting Pakistan as weak. Prior to the Champions Trophy, Pakistan’s team has got a new life in a way. Till some time ago, the middle order of Pakistan was completely failing and Babar Azam’s form was also a matter of concern. But in the opening, Fakhar Zaman’s constant enhancing and the unmatched combination of Rizwan and Salman Aga in the middle order can bring the team to new heights.

Bowlers are fiercely run in death overs

However, Pakistan’s bowling in the death overs still remains a matter of concern, which they have to improve. Pakistani bowlers gave 98 runs in the final 6 overs against New Zealand and 87 runs in the last 7 overs against the African team. Pakistan’s fast bowling has always been strong, but in this series, Pakistan has not been able to show wonders in bowling, for which the Pakistani team is known. Along with Shaheen Shah Afridi, Nasim Shah and Mohammad Hasnain will have to land on the bowling front with a new plan, only then Pakistan will be able to beat the Kiwi team, otherwise the Kiwi team will leave no stone unturned to enter as the winner in the Champions Trophy.
