1. T20I Preview: New Zealand will face Pakistan in the first T20I of the three-game series at Eden Park in Auckland on Friday.
Babar Azam and Kane Williamson, the skipper from Pakistan respectively. New Zealand, will not be represented for their teams. Babar was banned from the T20I series after breaking his thumb while Williamson is on paternity leave.
All-rounder Shadab Khan will lead the guests in Babar’s absence, while spinner Mitchell Santner will act as captain for the hosts. For the Kiwis, Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Kyle Jamieson rested for the opening competition, while Lockie Ferguson is out due to injury.
Pakistan had some difficult weeks leading up to the T20Is after some of its players tested positive for COVID-19 . And without Babar and Imam-ul-Haq, visitors might find it difficult to navigate New Zealand’s fast, bouncy routes.
The Black Caps, on the other hand, are inflated because they whitewashed West Indies in the test series and are given their home advantage.
New Zealand: Mitchell Santner (Captain), Tim Seifert (Wicket Keeper), Martin Guptill, Devon Conway, Glenn Phillips, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Scott Kuggelejin, Doug Bracewell, Todd Astle, Ish Sodhi, Blair Tickner, Jacob Duffy ,
