Pakistan take on New Zealand in the first T20I of a five-match series at the Pindi Cricket Stadium. The series marks the return of Babar Azam as captain after PCB’s shock U-turn ended the short-lived reign of Shaheen Shah Afridi. Fast bowler Mohammad Amir and spin all-rounder Imad Wasim also return to international cricket in this series after coming out of retirement. Meanwhile, an understrength New Zealand side arrived in the country at the weekend, having sent a security team last month.

New Zealand are missing nine top players including skipper Kane Williamson because of the Indian Premier League. Stand-in skipper Michael Bracewell says it is a chance for the younger players.
