Pakistan is all set to defend the title as Champions Trophy 2025 is set to begin at the National Stadium today.
The mini-world cup will be played in Karachi, Lahore and Dubai till March 1.
As the city braces for the opening match — marking the beginning of the first ICC event since the 1996 ODI Cricket World Cup hosted by the country — between the national side and New Zealand, traffic police have issued a detailed traffic plan to facilitate cricket fans and commuters.
Both lanes of Sir Shah Suleman Road will remain open for traffic, while the National Coaching Centre and China Ground have been designated for parking.
Heavy traffic will be restricted from Sohrab Goth to NIPA, Liaquatabad No. 10 to Hassan Square, and from PP Chowrangi to University Road, as well as from Karsaz to the Stadium Millennium area.
