New Zealand makes history with 3rd straight win on Pakistani soil

New Zealand vs Pakistan at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 created history, but not in a way Pakistani fans would like it. The Kiwis ran away with a 60-run victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opener at National Bank stadium in Karachi.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by ICC (@icc) Thus, New Zealand has now secured their 3rd consecutive win on Pakistani soil, for the first time ever.   A Record-Breaking Streak in just 11 days Prior to the Champions Trophy opener, New Zealand had never won 3 straight against the green shirts on a Pakistani pitch. This was true across all ICC international formats. They have now achieved this historic feat in just 11 days: February 8 – Tri-Series 2nd ODI: New Zealand won by 7 wickets, chasing 211 with 69 balls to spare. February 14 – Tri-Series Final: New Zealand won by 5 wickets, chasing 285 with 4 balls remaining. February 19 – ICC Champions Trophy 2025: New Zealand won by 60 runs, defending 320/5. Kiwis' training camp prior to the Champions Trophy 2025 on Pakistan's pitches is now paying dividends.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by ICC (@icc) Pressure on Pakistan Pakistan’s inability to counter New Zealand’s challenging total will certainly raise eyebrows. Muhammad Rizwan's team now faces mounting pressure, needing a swift turnaround on Sunday in the Pakistan vs India contest.         View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by ICC (@icc)
