During the Pakistan vs New Zealand match in Karachi, the Indian flag was seen flying in the stadium. This came after a controversy over missing flags of non-participating teams at Pakistan venues. Fans had mixed reactions. Some Indian supporters took to social media to troll Pakistan, while Pakistani fans said it showed their sportsmanship. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier said only flags of teams playing in Pakistan were raised. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) responded, saying all participant nations’ flags should be displayed. The Champions Trophy 2025 is being played in a hybrid format.
