Champions Trophy – Pak vs Nz – Fakhar suffers a scare of injury, Ravindra is not ready yet


New Zealand starter Will Young led Shaheen Afridi through the covers to overcome the painting, with Zaman starting in the search. He cut it before Palmar to Babar Azam to throw him back to the Guardian, but immediately seemed to feel discomfort in the lower back. He pointed out that he needed to be replaced and treated, and left the field with the physio, walking without help from the costumes.

Pakistan was hindered by an injury in Saim Ayub in similar circumstances, one that finally kept him out of the Champions Trophy. In a test against South Africa, he left in search of a ball to the limit, before twisting his ankle. It resulted in a fracture that will keep it out until at least in mid -March. Zaman, who until then was not part of Pakistan’s Odi plans, returned to the replacement of Ayub and had returned impressive, scoring 84 of 598 and 41 of 25 in his first two games on the side.

To Pakistan he received an impulse related to the fitness before the game, however, with Haris rauf enough to begin. He had stopped with a lateral tension in the opening game of the triangular series in which they participated in these two sides during the last fortnight. That day he had also seen a New Zealand player attacked in injuries, when Rachin Ravindra lost the trajectory of a ball in the air, which ended up hitting him on his forehead. He was treated with stitches, and although he trained yesterday and New Zealand said he did not show signs of delayed brain shock, he did not play against Pakistan. However, he was seen running drinks to the batters in New Zealand.

The game marks the return of the CRICKET of the ICC tournament to Pakistan for the first time since 1996, with large crowds accumulated outside the National Stadium in Karachi in the hours before the beginning. The opening ceremony was attended by the president of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari, and had an Airforce flying parade after the launch, which Pakistan won and asked New Zealand to hit.
