Pakistan and New Zealand are all set to clash in the first match of their five-game T20I series. The match will take place on March 16 at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. Both teams have made significant changes to their squads, making this an exciting contest to watch.

Pakistan led by Salman Ali Agha have made some bold decisions after their disappointing performance in the Champions Trophy, where they were knocked out in the group stage after losing to New Zealand and India. As a result, key players like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been left out of the squad.

In their place, Pakistan have given opportunities to young talents like Abdul Samad, Hasan Nawaz, and Mohammad Ali, who earned their call-ups after strong performances in domestic cricket.

New Zealand, on the other hand, will be captained by Michael Bracewell. Several of their regular T20 stars, including Devon Conway, Lockie Ferguson, Glenn Phillips, Rachin Ravindra, and Mitchell Santner, will miss the series due to their commitments in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
