PAK vs NZ 1st T20I Preview
The much-anticipated New Zealand tour of Pakistan kicks off on April 18th, 2024, with the 1st T20I match set to be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. This series promises to be a cracker, with both teams boasting strong T20I lineups.
Last Match Summary
Pakistan will be looking to bounce back from a recent 4-1 series defeat against New Zealand in New Zealand. While the scoreline suggests dominance from the Kiwis, some close encounters kept the series interesting. Pakistan will be buoyed by the fact that this upcoming series will be played on home soil, where they tend to be a much stronger force.
Head-to-Head in T20Is
The head-to-head record in T20Is between Pakistan and New Zealand is quite close. In the 24 T20I matches played between these two sides, New Zealand holds a slight edge with 13 wins compared to Pakistan’s 10. One match ended with no result.
Pakistan’s Form
Despite the recent series loss, Pakistan shouldn’t be underestimated. They are currently ranked 5th in the ICC Men’s T20I Team Rankings and have a strong squad at their disposal. The return of the experienced all-rounder Imad Wasim to the national setup adds depth to their batting and bowling attack. Left-arm pacer Zaman Khan has also been in impressive form and will be crucial in the death overs.
New Zealand’s Form
New Zealand, ranked 2nd in the world, come into the series on the back of a convincing series win against Pakistan. Their batting lineup is packed with firepower, with the likes of Martin Guptill and Kane Williamson in top form. Their bowling attack is equally balanced, with experienced campaigners like Tim Southee and Trent Boult leading the way.
Home Advantage for Pakistan?
While New Zealand cannot be disregarded, Pakistan will fancy their chances in familiar conditions. The Rawalpindi pitch is known to be batting-friendly, which could favor the likes of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. However, New Zealand’s bowling attack has the experience to handle any challenge.
