G11-Fantasy Cricket Prediction for Today's Match

ICC Champions Trophy 2025 starts today in Pakistan. The opening match is going on between Pakistan vs New Zealand at National Stadium in Karachi. Pakistan won the toss choice field first. Pakistan’s opening and left handed batsman Fakhar Zaman got injured  in a muscular sprain in the second ball of the 1st inning.   

What Happened To Fakhar Zaman?

On Shaheen Afridi's second delivery, the injury happened. Will Young, the opener for New Zealand, hit a full-length, wide ball into the covers. Sitting on the outfield, Fakhar Zaman made an incredible dive to save the ball from crossing the boundary. Despite saving the four runs, he landed awkwardly and held his lower back, displaying signs of discomfort right away. Given the critical nature of the situation, Zaman requested for medical help and then moved the field. He was replaced as a substitute in the field by Kamran Ghulam.

Fakhar Performance In International Cricket

At the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, Fakhar Zaman's statue on the global scene was cemented. He led Pakistan to a commanding 338/4 in the final against India at The Oval with a game-winning 114 off 106 balls. Pakistan won the Champions Trophy for the first time thanks in large part to this performance, which helped them win by 180 runs.

Will He Play India Vs Pakistan Match Or Not?

Now there's the question mark that he will play the India vs Pakistan match that will be played in Dubai on February 23.
