In the first T20I series against New Zealand, the revamped Pakistan team, captained by Salman Agha, had a disappointing start. Despite their decision to embrace a more aggressive approach in T20 cricket by moving on from traditional batters like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, the team struggled and was bowled out for just 91 runs. This not only marked their lowest-ever total on New Zealand soil but also their fifth-lowest overall. The hosts easily chased down the target, securing a convincing nine-wicket victory.
Pakistan will be aiming to script a comeback in the five-game series in Dunedin on Tuesday when they take on the Michael Bracewell-led side in the second T20I match.
The University Oval ground is a batter's paradise with shorter boundaries and flat pitches. In the last four matches played at the venue, the average first innings score has been 190. Not to forget, the Black Caps had smashed 224 the last time they faced Pakistan at this venue.
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.
