New Zealand beat Pakistan by 60 runs in the Champions Trophy opener on Wednesday.
KARACHI – New Zealand rode on brilliant hundreds from Tom Latham and Will Young to beat Pakistan by 60 runs in the Champions Trophy opener on Wednesday, spoiling the country's historic return to hosting global events after three decades.
Pakistan were never in the chase despite Khushdil Shah top-scoring with a fiery 49-ball 69, including 10 boundaries and a six, while Babar Azam scored a more sedate 64 from 90 balls that had a six and six boundaries. "We were thinking of 260-280, but it shows what you can do if you have a platform and wickets in hand," said Santner.
The eight-nation event got underway with Pakistan's Air Force flying over the stadium to mark the occasion and President Zardari in attendance. Young and Latham revived the innings from 73-3 with a 118-run fourth wicket stand, helping their team overcome the early loss of Devon Conway , Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell .
Latham hit 10 boundaries and three sixes in his eighth one-day hundred while Phillips's robust knock had four sixes and three boundaries.
