New Zealand vs Pakistan, T20 Tri-Series Live Score Updates: Upbeat Pakistan to face host New Zealand and Updates
The Babar Azam-led Pakistan vs. the Kane Williamson-led New Zealand first T20I match is scheduled for today, October 8, 2022, at 11.30 IST.
Pakistan post the win
Pakistan would be seeking to upset hosts New Zealand and extend their winning streak after defeating Bangladesh in the opening match of the T20 tri-series.
As a result of Daryl Mitchell’s, all-rounder, hand injury, he will not be able to play in the T20 Tri-Series, dealing a severe setback to New Zealand. Dane Cleaver, a batsman and wicketkeeper, has now been selected for the New Zealand team.
The initial game of the tri-nation series
In the opening game of the current tri-nation series, which also features Bangladesh, the hosts New Zealand would play Pakistan. The match will take place at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval. It’s going to be intriguing to see how Trent Boult, as well as Tim Southee, compare to competitors like Babar Azam as well as Mohammad Rizwan.
At the same location on Friday, Pakistan overcame Bangladesh to win the tri-series opener. Prior to the forthcoming T20 World Cup, which will be played throughout Australia, both countries will be hoping to find their ideal playing lineup.
Men in Green
In the first match of the tri-series, the Men in Green got off to a somewhat slow start and then were 52 posts 7.1 overs until they lost Babar Azam as the first wicket. The skipper of Pakistan scored 22 out of 25. Mohammad Rizwan’s unbeaten 78 off 50 deliveries helped Pakistan post a score of 167/5 which ended up being enough to win the match.
Mohammad Wasim Jr. successfully handled the ball and scored three goals. Bangladesh was limited to 146/8 in 20 overs by the remaining bowlers, who controlled the economy rate.
New Zealand team
New Zealand will begin the match as the favourites because they are a powerful team. Trent Boult will play for the Black Caps, while Daryl Mitchell has been knocked out of the series. In addition to having a fractured finger, his participation in the T20 World Cup is uncertain.
The performance of their skipper Kane Williamson, that has not had a fantastic year with the bat, is amongst New Zealand’s major areas of concern. Additionally, he has suffered from an elbow issue. The Blackcaps will be hopeful that their captain regains some form in time for the massive event, which starts this month in the neighbouring nation of Australia.
Daryl Mitchell is replaced by Dane Cleaver
Daryl Mitchell, who is injured, is replaced by Dane Cleaver in New Zealand’s Tri-Series team. To replace the ailing Daryl Mitchell for the T20 Tri-Series, Dane Cleaver has been added to the New Zealand team. Mitchell’s availability for the ICC T20 World Cup must be determined quickly by the Kiwi team, which is expected to leave for Australia on October 15 and needs plenty of time.
Cleaver, who made his international debut earlier this year, will discuss how the team came together to win in Christchurch on Saturday before the team’s traditional Tri-Series match against Pakistan astatine Hagley Oval.
A statement made by Gary Stead, Head Coach of New Zealand
As Gary Stead gave an update on Mitchell, he made the following statement “It’s a real shame for Daryl to suffer this injury on the eve of an exciting period of cricket for the side. Daryl’s become a really important player to our T20 unit and we’re certainly going to miss his all-around skills and versatility in the tri-series. With our first game of the World Cup in just over two weeks, we need to take some to consider Daryl’s recovery timeline and his potential involvement in the tournament.”
