Pakistan's team has reached New Zealand after the shameful performance of the Champions Trophy 2025. The tour started with a 5 -match T20 series. In this series, Salman Ali Aga is captaining Pakistan, who has recently been made the full time captain of T20. But the condition of the Pakistani team has not changed even. The Pakistani batting collapsed like cards in the first match of the T20 series at Hegley Oval of Christchurch. The batsmen saw such a bad condition that the whole team could not even score 100 runs.
The New Zealand team won the toss in this match and decided to bowl first, which also proved to be correct.
Pakistan's team appeared on the back foot from the first over. Their opener Mohammad Haris was dismissed in the first over without opening an account off 6 balls. After this, even the second opener Hasan Nawaz could not open the account. That is, Pakistan lost both their openers without scoring any runs. Then Pakistan got a third setback as Irfan Khan. He could also score 1 run. Pakistan had such a poor start that it could score 3 runs in the first 3 overs.After this, Pakistan also lost its fourth wicket by reaching the score of 11 runs.
He got this shock as Shadab Khan. After this, there was a small partnership between Salman Aga and Khushdil Shah. But the pair could not do much more and captain Salman Aga returned to the pavilion after scoring 18 runs. On the other hand, Khushdil Shah scored 32 runs, who also was the most run -scorer batting in this innings. Apart from him, Jahanadad Khan scored 17 runs, despite this, Pakistan's team was all out after scoring 91 runs in 18.4 overs.Let me tell you, Pakistan also lost 8 wickets to add 22 runs in this innings.
Actually, Pakistan's start 4 wickets fell on 11 runs. Then the last 4 wickets could also add 11 runs. The surprising thing was that during this innings, New Zealand also left 3 catches, despite Pakistan piled up within 100 runs.In this innings, Jacob Dafi and Kyle Jaymison were New Zealand's most successful bowlers. Jacob Dafi spent 14 runs in 3.4 overs and made 4 batsmen his victim. At the same time, Kyle Jaymison spent only 8 runs in 4 overs spells and took 3 wickets in his name. Ish Sodhi also was also a Kymab to take 2 wickets and Zakari Falcase got 1 success.
