As New Zealand prepares to face Pakistan in the Champions Trophy opener, team captain Kane Williamson took a moment to reflect on past encounters that have defined their rivalry. The Kiwi stalwart revisited memorable moments from previous matches, just ahead of this pivotal game in Karachi on Wednesday.
