By Akshay - February 19, 2025 09:41 AMThere are only a few hours left for the start of the Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament will start with a match between Pakistan and New Zealand. However, before the match starts, the captains and coaches of both the teams will be under pressure to choose their best playing XI for this match.
Talking about Pakistan, their batting order has changed in the last few matches due to the injury of their regular opener Sam Ayub. Babar Azam, who regularly plays at number three for the team, can be seen opening in this match and Fakhar Zaman will support him there. At the same time, Saud Shakeel can get a chance at number three. Team captain Mohammad Rizwan will bat at number four while vice-captain Salman Ali Agha can be seen playing at number five. Tayyab Tahir and Faheem Ashraf can be seen playing the role of finishers at number 6 and number 7.
