ODI Tri-Series: Ton-Up Glenn Phillips Helps New Zealand Beat Pakistan By 78 Runs In Opener
Glenn Phillips warmed up for the Champions Trophy with his first one-day international century as New Zealand beat Pakistan by 78 runs in the opening game of the tri-nation cricket series in Lahore on Saturday (February 8, 2025). Phillips smashed an unbeaten 106 off 74 balls, including six fours and seven sixes, at a newly renovated Gaddafi Stadium. The No. 6 batter propelled New Zealand to 330-6 in their 50 overs on a flat wicket, with Daryl Mitchell (81) and Kane Williamson (58) also getting the feel of the wickets for the upcoming Champions Trophy with half centuries. In reply, Fakhar Zaman, playing his first international in more than seven months because of illness, made a belligerent 84 off 69 but the rest of the top-order batters struggled against spin. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 252 in 47.5 overs.
