Pakistan produced an embarrassing batting performance in the first T20I against the New Zealand side as they got bundled out for a paltry 91 and couldn't push the Kiwis with the ball in hand as the home side took a 1-0 lead in the series and created a psychological dent in the Pakistan camp.

The Kiwis won the toss and on a spicy wicket, they put Pakistan into bat and the decision was the right move as the inexperienced batting lineup crumbled under pressure and only two players managed to cross the double digit mark in an shocking display of batting.

One player who had a weight of expectations was Mohammad Haris, who was making his comeback in the side and was touted to be the one to replace Babar Azam in the opening slot. However, the opener made a mockery of himself and got dismissed for a 6-ball duck.

Kyle Jamieson, who bowled the first over made Haris dance to his tunes and on the last ball of the over, he dugged it slightly short as Haris played away from the body and the keeper took a simple catch.

Pakistan register unwanted record against the Kiwis

There is not much that the bowlers could do after an average performance by the batters as the Kiwis raced away to a 9-wicket win. The Pakistan batting lineup lacked the cutting-edge and after getting bundled out for 91, they registered their fifth lowest total in T20Is as the home side made a light work of the Men in Green and will enter the second T20I as the favourites to clinch the win.
