9 days ago | 5 Views
The revamped Pakistan team, under the captaincy of Salman Agha, experienced a challenging beginning to the T20I series against New Zealand on Sunday. The team's shift towards a more aggressive style of play, following the departure of traditional players Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, resulted in a disappointing total of just 91 runs. This marked Pakistan's lowest score ever recorded on New Zealand soil and the fifth-lowest in their T20I history, allowing the home team to secure a nine-wicket victory.
Pakistan will seek to rebound in the five-match series when they face the Michael Bracewell-led New Zealand side in the second T20I in Dunedin on Tuesday.
The University Oval is known for its favorable conditions for batsmen, featuring shorter boundaries and flat pitches. In the last four matches held at this venue, the average first innings score has been 190. Notably, the Black Caps had previously scored 224 runs against Pakistan at this location.
Squads:
New Zealand: Michael Bracewell (c), Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Mitchell Hay, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Will O'Rourke, Tim Robinson, Ben Sears, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi.
