Former cricketer Basit Ali apologized for his incorrect prediction about Pakistan reaching the Champions Trophy final after their early exit. Pakistan was eliminated in the group stage following losses to New Zealand and India.

Pakistan cricketers have been docked 5% of their match fees for a slow over rate against New Zealand during the opening game of the Champions Trophy in Karachi.

New Zealand coach Gary Stead on Tuesday said the team is raring to go in its next set of Champions Trophy matches after having aced pressure moments in the first two wins.
