In a below-par start to Pakistan's international season, New Zealand won the Champions Trophy opener by 60 runs in Karachi. The match was Pakistan's first ICC tournament in almost three decades, building up much hope among fans and officials. Though the occasion was historic, Pakistan's performance turned out to be subpar as a full-house crowd of 29,300 fans was left disappointed.


New Zealand posted an impressive target of 320 runs, led by magnificent centuries from Tom Latham and Will Young. Latham was especially outstanding, scoring an unbeaten 118 off 104 balls and claiming the Player of the Match award. Young added a respectable 107 from 113 balls, and the two shared an important partnership that stabilized the innings after initial failures, bringing their team back from 73 for 3.

Pakistan's reply was subdued, as they were unable to gain momentum in their pursuit. Khushdil Shah was the highlight of the Pakistani performance, leading the batting with a 69 off 49 balls. Babar Azam added a more controlled 64 runs, but the remaining batsmen collapsed, causing them to be bowled out for 260 runs in 47.2 overs. The New Zealand bowlers, especially Will O'Rourke and Mitchell Santner, played a key role in breaking down the Pakistani batting line.

The match was also of great importance because of Pakistan's long period of not hosting international cricket of major importance, mainly because of security issues. The last ICC event hosted by Pakistan was in the 1996 World Cup, when they co-hosted with India and Sri Lanka. The return to international cricket at home was celebrated with a big opening ceremony, with the Pakistan Air Force jets flying over the National Stadium.

This win saw New Zealand maintain their dominance against Pakistan, having already won two games in a tri-series a week earlier. The victory puts Pakistan in a difficult spot in Group A, as they are set to play their biggest rivals, India, in Dubai. The team will have to regroup in a hurry if they are to remain competitive in the tournament.


As the Champions Trophy continues, there is a lot at stake for all the teams. The top two teams from both groups will make it to the semi-finals, so every game is important. For Pakistan, the pressure to do well at home is particularly high, and the fans will be expecting a change in their next matches.

Palestine Cola’s demand surges amid Israel’s war on Gaza

  A Palestinian-Swedish drinks maker has seen its alternative to Coca-Cola and Pepsi take off massively as consumers boycott the US brands over perceived ties to Israel, UAE media reported on Monday.

Within just under two months, sales have skyrocketed to approximately four million cans. The three entrepreneurs from Malmo with Palestinian roots, Hussein, Mohammed, and Ahmad Hassoun took the initiative six months ago to create an alternative to popular soft drink brands like Pepsi and Coca-Cola. The brand they established has rapidly accumulated millions of engagements on social media and has captured the attention of companies globally, eager to distribute their cola product
