New Zealand defeated Pakistan by 60 runs in the first match of the Champions Trophy in Karachi on Wednesday. Tom Latham and Will Young both scored centuries, while Glenn Phillips smashed a quick fifty to help New Zealand post 320 for 5 in 50 overs.
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and chose to bowl first. The decision looked good at first, as the home team had New Zealand struggling at 73 for 3. However, a strong 118-run stand between Young (107) and Latham (118 not out) shifted the momentum in New Zealand¡¯s favour. Phillips¡¯ explosive 61 off 39 balls towards the end ensured they crossed the 300-run mark.
