 "NZ vs PAK T20 series")
New Zealand and Pakistan are set to face off in a five-match T20I series, beginning Sunday, March 16, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. With Mitchell Santner unavailable due to his IPL commitments with Mumbai Indians, the Black Caps will be captained by Michael Bracewell.
Fast bowler Matt Henry returns to the squad after missing the Champions Trophy final against India in Dubai. In the fast bowling department, Will O’Rourke and Kyle Jamieson will lead the attack in the first three games, followed by Zak Foulkes and Henry in the last two matches. Kane Williamson has opted out of the series.
Pakistan, meanwhile, will be led by Salman Ali Agha after the exclusion of Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. Shadab Khan will serve as vice-captain after making his T20I return, eight months after the T20 World Cup. Pakistan will be looking to bounce back after their disappointing failure to qualify for the Champions Trophy semifinals.
