Pakistan Aims for Comeback in 2nd T20I Against New Zealand!

The Pakistan cricket team, led by Salman Agha, had a rough start in the T20I series against New Zealand on Sunday. The team decided to play more aggressively after moving on from their star players, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Unfortunately, Pakistan was all out for just 91 runs, marking their lowest score ever in New Zealand and the fifth-lowest in T20 history! New Zealand easily chased down the target, winning by nine wickets.

Now, Pakistan is looking to bounce back in the second game of the five-match series, which will be played in Dunedin on Tuesday. They will face a New Zealand team that is captained by Michael Bracewell. The University Oval is known for being great for batters, featuring short boundaries and flat pitches, where the average score in the last four matches has been around 190 runs. In fact, New Zealand scored a whopping 224 the last time they played Pakistan there.

Team Squads:
– New Zealand: Michael Bracewell (c), Finn Allen, Mark Chapman, Jacob Duffy, Mitchell Hay, Kyle Jamieson, Daryl Mitchell, James Neesham, Will O’Rourke, Tim Robinson, Ben Sears, Tim Seifert, Ish Sodhi.
