Well played Muhammad Abbas.

[BLACKCAPS @BLACKCAPS]

#StatChat | 21-year-old Muhammad Abbas rocketed to the fast-ever fifty on ODI debut. His fifty came from just 24 balls, beating the record of 26 balls previously held by Krunal Pandya. #NZvPAK #CricketNation 📷 = @PhotosportNZ

There are political tensions between the 2 nations & #India has refused to travel to or play against #Pakistan for over 15 years.
Remaining 6 nations were aware of this before they agreed to participate in the tournament. They could have asked to move the tournament to UAE.

[Billy Bowden @BillyBowdenNZ]

When @BCCI & #TeamIndia refused to participate in the #ChampionsTrophy the rest of the teams wanted #India to play. Why didn't they object to the schedule at the start of the tournament?
These same people do not complain about the money they get from #IPL or @BCCI

Is this fair?

Should @RishabhPant17 be made captain of the Indian Cricket Team?

@ESPNcricinfo 19 wickets on Day 2 and another
17 in half of Day 3

This culture of pitch doctoring, to give advantage to the home team, needs to stop

How is it different to match fixing?

Why can't @ICC hire neutral curators, just like the umpires?

#PAKvWI #ICC #Cricket #ChampionsTrophy2025

19 wickets on Day 2
17 wickets on Day 3

Was this pitch justified for a 5 day test match?

By celebrating the return of your Men's cricket team you are basically rubbing it in the faces of your women cricketers.

Afghanistan men's cricket team needs to support the women's team.

#TeamIndia and @BCCI need to look after their "freak" and reduce pressure on @Jaspritbumrah93.

Definitely a contender for the best catch of the year.

@FoxCricket This should shut all the Australian Fans accusing @ICC of being biased and being controlled by @BCCI because @JayShah is the new Chairman.

If #ICC was biased then the #SCG pitch would have been rated unfit or unsatisfactory.
