Match Details:
 Match: | PAK vs NZ – 1st T20 |
 Date: | Apr 14, Fri, 2023 |
 Time: | 04:00 PM (GMT) |
 Venue: | Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore |
 Toss: | Pakistan, Bat 1st |
Pitch Report: Gaddafi Stadium has mostly offered a batting-friendly surface in recent times and bowlers have been taken to the cleaners more often than not. In the last 10 T20Is played at the venue, the chasing side has won the game on six occasions. Therefore, the team winning the toss in the upcoming encounter might look to bowl first.
Babar: I wasn’t expecting this (my 100th T20I game), grateful that I have achieved this feat. It was a team effort. We lost early wickets, but Fakhar and Ayub built the innings. Saim has been improving day by day, wish him good luck. I think our batters set up a good total on this wicket. We had a good bowling line-up, Rauf bowled well and so did the other bowlers. It’s good when you have many options. It was a collective effort as the bowler stuck to their plans.
Latham: Preparation wasn’t ideal, but you got to adapt to the situation. The score was about par and the required rate increased quickly. I knew he got a hat-trick, a special milestone for him. We get another opportunity later on today.
TEAMS SQUAD:
Pakistan: Mohammad Rizwan(w), Babar Azam(c), Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Zaman Khan
