Pakistan is playing 5 ODIs and 3 T20 in New Zealand starting from tonight at 10:00 PM GMT (Jan 05). Tough to beat New Zealand in New Zealand as Pakistan only managed to win 7 ODIs out of 20 ODIs.
"A number of guys are not big names, but they have a great record to back them, like Azhar and Babar. [Fakhar] is another exciting player who likes to get on with it. He's had a great start to his international career but hasn't toured New Zealand, so there will be challenges adapting to different conditions" - Tim Southee.
"It's unfortunate that three of our key bowlers are injured but we still have good bowlers who can trouble New Zealand. Apart from opener Fakhar Zaman, all other players have played in New Zealand before so they know about the tough conditions and about the New Zealand team. So we are ready for the challenges" - Sarfraz.
Teams (from):
New Zealand: Kane Williamson(c), Martin Guptill, Colin Munro, Ross Taylor, Tom Latham (wk), Henry Nicholls, Mitchell Santner, Tim Southee, Trent Boult, Matt Henry, Todd Astle, Lockie Ferguson, George Worker.
Pakistan: Sarfraz Ahmed(c, wk), Azhar Ali, Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Hafeez, Haris Sohail, Faheem Ashraf, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Amir, Hasan Ali, Aamer Yamin, Rumman Raees.
