New Zealand will face Pakistan in the first game of the five-match T20I series on Friday. This game will be played at Eden Park, Auckland. This will be the start of preparations for both teams for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024.

Pakistan have made wholesome changes, and Shaheen Afridi will be leading the T20 team with Mohammad Rizwan as his deputy. Saim Ayub is likely to bat at the top, while Babar Azam will bat at No. 3. On the other hand, Kane Williamson is back, and he will lead New Zealand.
