If you’re chasing the hottest cricket stories, you’ve landed in the right spot. This tag gathers every match recap, player spotlight and tournament preview that matters to fans across Africa and beyond.
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 kicked off with a bang when Pakistan hosted New Zealand in Karachi. The hosts chose to bowl first, letting the Kiwi opener Will Young smash a century against a fierce Pakistani pace attack. That innings set the tone for an electric showdown and reminded us why Pakistan’s return to big‑stage hosting is such a big deal.
Just days later the 2025 Tri‑Series saw New Zealand pile up 262/6 against Pakistan, thanks largely to Glenn Phillips’ half‑century. Pakistan now faces a steep chase of 331 runs – a test for their middle order and a chance for bowlers like Shaheen Afridi to make an impact.
The cricket calendar is packed. After the Champions Trophy, the focus shifts to the next round of bilateral series, with South Africa gearing up for home tests against England and India eyeing a summer tour of Australia. Keep an eye on squad announcements – injuries often open doors for fresh talent.
For fans who love stats, the upcoming matches will feature key battles: Babar Azam versus Mitchell Santner in the tri‑series, and Pakistan’s Mohammad Rizwan leading his side in high‑pressure chases. These duels give a clear picture of form heading into the World Cup qualifiers.
