ISLAMABAD: Pakistan is facing a major challenge when it is ready to face New Zealand in the opening match of the Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Stadium in Karachi today (Wednesday).

After consecutive one -day losses in the Tri -series, the home team will have to develop a creative strategy to prevent the third defeat and, more critically, have to establish a solid foundation for their knockout stage.

The recent disadvantages to New Zealand were far from ideal preparations. With the incoming tournament in the movement, Pakistan cannot afford any sales, especially consider investing for them in the infrastructure.

On Wednesday (today), a win will make them a great contender for the semi -finals, while the poor display can leave them on the edge. Pakistan should be cleansed by falling into New Zealand nets, as they did twice last week. Qi’is has well analyzed the powers and weaknesses of Pakistan, which allows his fielding captain to effectively manage the dismissal.

Fakhr Zaman, one of the leading one -day setup, has been constantly drawn into misunderstandings and drawbacks, which is suffering from strategic fielders. The difficulty against Babar Azam’s cutter and left -wing spinners has become an important concern. Saud Shakeel, usually a lazy collector, had to face pressure to play aggressively, causing his wicket to get cheap on both occasions.

With the lack of upper order, to save the innings, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha have fallen. However, Pakistan cannot rely on the bravery of the last minute permanently. More discipline and strategic approach is very important to overcome the pressure on the middle sequence.

Pakistan’s bowling unit has not yet achieved its success. Although it is expected that the return of Homs will strengthen the attack, Shaheen Shah Afridi has struggled with consistency.

Naseem Shah has shown the brightness of the talent, but against a capable Kiwi batting lineup, permanent pressure is very important. Salman Ali Agha’s partnerships will also be important as the fifth bowler.

The purpose of the first batting decision in the final of the Pakistan Try Series was to gain experience, but it would be a better choice to pursue, especially on the slow pitches where it affects. The National Stadium, Karachi pitch, is expected to provide opportunities for a variety of bowlers, which requires the implementation of the right strategy.

For everyone in New Zealand, complex plans have a competitive benefit. On the contrary, Pakistan has faced challenges with field strategy. Their coaching staff will have to enter the Kiwi batting lineup and present tactics to overcome the dangers posed by Mitchell Sentner’s spin and William and Raurke.

One of the basic rule against high quality bowlers is to continue the scoreboard. Rotate the strike with singles and two, while the occasional killing is more effective than the negligence aggression. New Zealand regularly leads to progress by taking wickets. When they struggle to claim wickets, they begin to feel pressure. Pakistan should use it soon, ensuring the safety of wickets and the permanent flow of runs.

Wednesday’s match is not just an opening clash. It can set up Pakistan’s Champions Trophy campaign. Unlike Pakistan, New Zealand can afford a slip -up and still make the tournament penture. However, the losing of the match, a losing match, will set a challenging road ahead, which will approach a difficult conflict against India in Dubai. The stake cannot be high. The experience phase is over. If Pakistan’s purpose is to influence, they must start their projects effectively.
