Shadab and co went into the match without specialist openers and the rest is history
KARACHI:
There was never a doubt that Pakistan would find it difficult to beat New Zealand at the latter’s home and the theory was proven true when the Kiwis beat Men in Green by five wickets in the first T20I of the three-match series on Friday.
With the defeat, Pakistan will have to pull up their socks for the next two T20Is if they want to salvage the series and win it.
It was also a sad day for Pakistan stand-in captain Shadab Khan who lost the very first T20I, where he stood as captain.

Just need 2 more full season in Pakistan. You will notice alot of positive changes just wait and watchHonestly man. This years IPL was very entertaining but I thought the PSL was brilliant as well even though it has so many limitations and obstacles in comparison to the IPL. It also exposed so many of our mediocre players who get the nod from the Pak management but do not have much respect and value by the franchise owners/managements.
I was disappointed to see Rahat Ali and Mohammad Irfan to feature in the play offs for their side but I believe the Franchises didn’t have much choice because of how Covid has altered the plans now. Besides that, the tournament has been excellent.
