World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table: What a disastrous home season it has turned out for Pakistan! The Asian side which is known to dominate in home conditions failed to win even a single test match in the entire season on home soil. The lean run of Pakistan's test side continued as they drew the two-match test series against New Zealand in the National Stadium in Karachi.



Kiwi skipper Tim Southee called for a brave declaration late on day four which set the tone for an eventful final day of the 2nd test. Pakistan lost two early wickets on day four itself without adding a single run to the scoreboard and it seemed a total of 319 runs was far-fetched for the hosts.



On the final day of the 2nd Test, the Kiwis once again scalped three crucial wickets to further put a hole in Pakistan's batting unit. Half of Pakistan's batting unit was bundled at a score of 80 runs and it looked dark for the home side to show resistance against the scrutinizing bowling spells.



However, veteran batter Sarfaraz Ahmad showcased his batting brilliance in a time of adversity for Pakistan. Ahmad stitched a strong 100 runs partnership with Saud Shakeel and followed it with another 70-run stand with Salman Agha. In the process, the senior glovesman completed his century and kept Pakistan in the game till the very last moment.



As the game proceeded to its end, the light began fading away and it only meant that New Zealand will have to bowl spinners to complete the remaining overs. Although Sarfaraz eventually lost his wicket while six overs were yet to be bowled, the duo of Nasheem Shah and Abrar Ahmed held their sides and took the game to a draw.



With the draw, Pakistan's win percentage in the WTC test matches moved to 38.1. Through the World Test Championship 2021-23 cycle, Pakistan only managed to win four test matches and six times they ended up being on the losing side. Meanwhile, on four occasions, they took the game to a draw.



Pakistan's hopes for the World Test Championship Final are already over. They were never in contention for the summit clash following their embarrassing performance throughout the cycle.

PAK vs NZ 1st T20I: New Zealand is currently on a tour of Pakistan where the Blackcaps are all set to square off against Pakistan in a five-match T20I series followed by a five-match ODI series. The first T20I is slated for April 14 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore at 7:30 PM. Here we discuss PAK vs NZ Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report &amp; Injury Updates For 1st T20I.



The two teams last faced off in Sydney at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022 semi-final. New Zealand posted 152/4 in 20 overs, and Pakistan came out on top by seven wickets. In the forthcoming series, New Zealand will like to get payback for their heartbreaking loss.



For this home series, Pakistan has picked a full-strength squad. The Green Shirts, who lost 1-2 in a three-match series against Afghanistan, rested some of their key players and added some fresh faces in March. Pakistan will be expecting to deliver better performances against the Blackcaps, who will be missing skipper Kane Williamson, now that regular players are back in action.

The Lahore pitch is conducive to both bowlers and batsmen. The Pitch goes slow as the game goes and aids more to spinners and hence the chase has been tougher here if the target is over 170. Even in the just-wrapped PSL, spinners have shown to be useful as the game progresses.



Teams batting first will try to play it safe early on before going big in the end. The toss-winning team will choose to bowl first and restrict the opponent below 160. On this field, the first-inning average is 170.

PAK vs NZ Match Highlights: Babar Azam's century helped Pakistan beat New Zealand by 38 runs in the second T20 match

PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I: After clinching two consecutive matches, the dominating host, Pakistan, are all set to face off against the visitors, New Zealand, in the third T20I of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan 2023. The 3rd T20I will once again be played at the same venue, the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on the evening of 17th April. Here we discuss PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report For 3rd T20I.



Pakistan and New Zealand played two matches in two days back-to-back and Pakistan thoroughly outplayed the Blackcaps on both days. The difference between both sides could be easily understood by the fact that Pakistan's batters have hit five times 30+ scores which include one century from the skipper Babar Azam and one half-century from Rizwan, whereas, New Zealand's Mark Chapman is the lone batter to score 30+ and not only once. He scored 37 runs in the first and 65 in the second T20I.



In the first T20I, Pakistan bundled out New Zealand in just 94 runs in defense of 183 runs target. Similar scenes in the second T20I where Pakistan, batting first, put 192 runs on the board, and trapped the visitors within 154 in 20 overs. 



Haris Rauf has been the star for the Pakistan team as he claimed 4-4 crucial wickets in both matches. It seems like New Zealand have no answers to his shivering pace.

The pitch at Lahore is suitable for both bowlers and batsmen. The chase has been more difficult here if the target is over 170 because the pitch slows down as the game progresses and helps spinners more. Spinners are and have been effective as the game progresses, and it was evident even in the recently concluded PSL.



It is now clear that in Gaddafi Stadium, the batting first side gains more advantages of the surface in batting and bowling later. The first-inning average score here is 175 and that of the second-inning is 157.

PAK vs NZ 3rd T20I Dream11 Prediction, Playing XI, Pitch Report For 3rd T20I

pak-vs-nz-3rd-t20i-dream11-prediction-playing-xi-pitch-report-for-3rd-t20i

Babar Azam about to break Rohit Sharma's record in T20Is: Babar Azam produced an exceptional T20I century and established a couple of remarkable records during his unbeaten 101 off 58 balls in the second T20I in Lahore in his 101st T20I to help Pakistan grab a 2-0 lead in their home five-match series against New Zealand. 



Azam had struggled in the first T20I, as he was dismissed for only nine runs, but he came out firing in the second game, and his 174.14 strike rate helped him dominate the match.



In the 2nd match against the Kiwis, Pakistan won the toss and decided to bat first. Babar led his team to 192/4 in their 20 overs by hitting 11 fours and three sixes. In response, despite Mark Chapman's unbeaten 65 off 40 balls, <a href="https://www.nzc.nz/cricketnation" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Zealand</a> was restricted to 154/7.



Babar Azam's 58-ball century was his third T20I century. Interestingly, he is the only batter from Pakistan to hit more than one century in the format. Babar now ranks among the top hitters in terms of T20I tonnes with a hundred.



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/ICC/status/1647293136077479939
</div></figure>



With four T20I hundreds, Rohit Sharma tops the chart, followed by five other batsmen, including Babar, who has three hundreds just since recently. Incidentally, Virat Kohli, who has 38 50+ T20I scores, leads the tally of most 50+ scores, followed by Babar and Rohit with 33.



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Player</td><td>Country</td><td>T20I hundreds</td><td>T20I fifties</td></tr><tr><td>Rohit Sharma</td><td>India</td><td>4</td><td>29</td></tr><tr><td>Babar Azam</td><td>Pakistan</td><td>3</td><td>30</td></tr><tr><td>Sabawoon Davizi</td><td>Czech Republic</td><td>3</td><td>5</td></tr><tr><td>Glenn Maxwell</td><td>Australia</td><td>3</td><td>10</td></tr><tr><td>Colin Munro</td><td>New Zealand</td><td>3</td><td>11</td></tr><tr><td>Suryakumar Yadav</td><td>India</td><td>3</td><td>13</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



He is now tied for second place among players with the most T20I hundreds overall. He sits with two other players in the T20I format who have reached three tonnes: Colin Munro, and Suryakumar Yadav.



Babar has nine centuries overall in T20 cricket, six of which came while serving as captain in league cricket. Therefore, as a skipper in T20 cricket, he surpassed the records of five tonnes set by Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis. Michael Klinger of Australia, who has seven, sits in first.



He also equals the most T20I-winning captain record sharing 42 wins with Afghanistan's Asghar Afghan.

The wait for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to be over. The tournament will begin on 19th February, and the final will take place on 9th March. The India team, no doubt, will be one of the hot favourites to win the tournament, which will be played in a hybrid model. 
India will be playing all their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will be beginning their campaign against Bangladesh on 20th February, and, after that, will be playing Pakistan on 23rd February, followed by New Zealand on 2nd March. 
The departure date of India for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 also has been revealed. As per the reports in Times of India, it is learned that the Rohit Sharma-led side will be travelling to Dubai on 15th February. The reports added that more clarity on the same will come in the coming days. 
<h2>India won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
Not only this, it is learned that India also won't be playing any warmup matches ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because all the teams will be in Pakistan, and hence, it will be difficult for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to arrange the warmup match. 
The reports added that India team management is happy with the net session ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because they will be playing the three-match ODI series against England, which will begin on 6th February across three venues in India. 
Apart from this, it is reported that the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 won't be having a captain photoshoot because of the different challenges along with the different arrivals of the team. This means that Rohit Sharma won't be travelling to Pakistan for this and will be staying in Dubai with the team. 
The opening ceremony of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be held in Lahore. There were talks of having the event in Karachi but the Pakistan Cricket Board decided to host it in Lahore.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India to travel to Dubai on this date; unlikely to play warmup game

India batter Shubman Gill has started his preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The premier batter has returned to nets for the white-ball practice as he was named in the Indian team for the ODI series against England and the ICC tournament. 
Shubman Gill has been under a lot of pressure for his poor outings with the bat, especially in Test cricket. With the emergence of Yashasvi Jaiswal, who delivered consistent performances, there were a lot of questions about the place of Gill, even in the ODIs. 
Several fans and experts also have backed Yashasvi Jaiswal to open the innings for India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 along with Rohit Sharma. However, amid all this Shubman Gill is making sure that he gives his best to train for the tournament. 
With England ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner, Shubman Gill was seen batting in the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium. He was seen batting with the white-ball ahead of the tournament and the video can be seen at the end of the article. 
Shubman Gill looked in golden touch with the bat as he played a pull towards the four before blocking the balls. The batter would be eager to make a strong comeback and reply to all the criticism in style with his performances in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
Shubman Gill recently played the Ranji Trophy 2024-25 for Punjab. The batter was the lone warrior for his team as he hit a magnificent century and returned to form after having a poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, where he played just three games. 
Shubman Gill would want to carry on his form and help a team win. He has been one of the best batters for India in ODIs. He also has been named as the vice-captain of the team for the tournament and with added responsibility under his belt, a lot will be reliant on him.

Pakistan batter Babar Azam has been in the news for the last few days, especially with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 around the corner. The batter's name has been discussed a lot related to making him open, especially with no clarity over Saim Ayub. 
Pakistan is the only team that has yet to announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Since the last few days, he has been in the news as there have been a lot of reports that have suggested that there are chances that he might open the innings for the team. 
However, the fresh reports in Cricket Pakistan have revealed that there are no plans to make Babar Azam open the innings. The reports added that the selection committee has not given the green signal to the development as they feel that batter will be best suited in the middle order. 
<h2>Selectors want a proper opener in the role; Babar Azam to at in middle-order</h2>
The reports claimed that selectors want a proper opener in the role. One of the openers that has been finalized by the management is Fakhar Zaman. However, with Saim Ayub likely to miss out, it is learned that Imam-ul-Haq is also in contention to take the role. 
Babar Azam has been the best batter for Pakistan in ODIs. The batter has mustered truckloads of runs for the team in the format while batting at No.3 and he will be extremely crucial for his team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in Pakistan with India games to be played in India. 
Babar Azam also has been a decent opener as well. He has been opening for the team in T20Is and has achieved massive success as well. He also opened in Test cricket during the recent South Africa series and aced that challenge as well, slamming two half-centuries in two innings. 
But, in white-ball cricket, Babar Azam has been criticised a lot for opening in T20Is. This is because he has failed to maximise the powerplay and has been batting with a low strike rate. It remains to be seen where he will be batting for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

India assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided a massive fitness update about batter Rinku Singh ahead of the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. He mentioned that the left-hander has gained full fitness and will be playing the next match of the five-match T20I series. 
India and England are all set to lock horns with each other in the fourth match of the T20I series. The game is all set to be played at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Thursday (30th January). The series is currently at 2-1, with hosts in the lead. 
India has been without the services of Rinku Singh for the last two games of the IND vs ENG series. The left-hander sustained a low back spasm while fielding in the first game and was then ruled out of the next two games of the series as he was under the observation of the BCCI medical team. 
In his place, the India team added Dhruv Jurel to the XI, and the move didn't pay off. The keeper-batter batted lower down the order and struggled to get going in both games, and it potentially cost them the last match of the series. 
<h2>Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow - Ryan Ten Doeschate</h2>
However, in what will be a massive boost, Rinku Singh has been declared fit for the next two games. The development was confirmed by assistant coach Ryan Ten Doeschate, who said that the batter hit nets and will be playing. He told reporters. 
"Rinku Singh is fit and ready to play tomorrow. He batted yesterday night" 
Rinku Singh has been India's one of the best batters in the T20Is. His absence was felt in the last two games as well, but now, with him being fit, it is expected that he would walk straight into the XI and is likely to add Dhruv Jurel to the team. 
The fourth IND vs ENG T20I will be a great opportunity for India to to seal the series, but they need to make some corrections before heading into the next IND vs ENG match. 
India faced a disappointing 26-run loss in the last match at Rajkot. Their batting was one of the main reasons behind the loss and they would be hoping to make a strong comeback.
