Big image: Second chance for Pakistan

The emphasis will remain on Pakistan’s striker as the action passes from Christchurch to Dunedin in the Male T20i series of five games. The new captain of Pakistan Salman Agha had asked for the “high -risk” cricket “, but he did not go out Sunday in the first T20i. Pakistan, in fact, has reached a new hollow in this match after being overthrown for 91, which New Zealand then hunted comfortably in 10.1 overs.

In the absence of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, who were abandoned, and Saim Ayub, who always recalls an ankle injury, Pakistan has given Hasan Nawaz a start to Hasan Nawaz and opened with Mohammad Haris, who played a T20i after almost two years, with Salman Sloting. Skores with a Khushdil Shah score with 32 out of 30 balls. How will Pakistan take place in the second match after the failure of the first?

Although New Zealand lacks key players due to their IPL commitments, they punch the ball during the first game, thanks to Kyle Jamieson and Jacob Duffy, who shared seven gohets with each other at the end. Tim Seifert, Finn Allen and Tim Robinson then torn the attack on Pakistan.

As they build their reservations, New Zealand will also seek to continue their domination. And Jimmy Neesham, who has not played for New Zealand since June 2024, may have to wait for his turn.
