New Zealand to Begin T20 Series Against Pakistan in Rawalpindi

The T20 World Cup looms large as New Zealand prepares to face hosts Pakistan in a five-match T20I series, commencing on April 18. The Blackcaps have dominated recent encounters against Pakistan, winning four out of the last five matches, setting the stage for an exciting series.

Pakistan, boasting a head-to-head record of 21 wins from 39 matches against New Zealand, will be fielding a squad resembling their potential T20 World Cup lineup. Key bowlers like Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim are back in action, adding to Pakistan’s strength.

On the other side, New Zealand is expected to field a secondary team as many of their regular players are currently participating in the Indian Premier League. This gives an opportunity for younger talents to showcase their skills and stake a claim in the national side.

The first T20I match between Pakistan and New Zealand is scheduled for April 18 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Pakistan. The Blackcaps will be looking to fine-tune their strategies ahead of the T20 World Cup, while Pakistan aims to maintain their dominance over New Zealand.

Unfortunately for viewers in India, the Pakistan vs. New Zealand T20I series will not be broadcasted on any television channel. However, fans can catch the live action on the FanCode app, where the matches will be streamed live.
