The first of three ODIs will resume ODI rivalry between these two teams for the first time since ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Although Pakistan have a slightly better head-to-head ODI record against the Kiwis, they wouldn’t be want to take the visitors lightly especially after watching the advantageous manner in which they participated in the recently concluded two-match Test series.
In what is going to be their last assignment of this home winter season, Babar Azam and his men have a lot to prove especially after not winning a single Test match lately. With a new selection committee having picked this 16-member ODI squad, the home team will have a lot at stake during an ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League Series.
