HAMILTON: Pakistan hope to bounce back in their second T20 International here on Sunday (today), having lost the first without putting up much of a fight on Friday.
While Pakistan will be without their regular captain Babar Azam, whose thumb injury is likely to keep him away from action for as long as the end of their first Test, the hosts are bolstered by the return of their captain Kane Williamson, and experienced pacers Tim Southee and Trent Boult.
Pakistan are expected to do better as Seddon Park is unlikely to be as bouncy as Eden Park where they lost their first four wickets for just 20 runs. But it is tough for an inexperienced side to quickly adjust to the New Zealand conditions, stand-in captain Shadab Khan has said.

WELLINGTON: Veteran New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor has been dropped for the Twenty20 International series against Pakistan, while Kane Williamson and Trent Boult have been recalled after they were rested for last month’s series against West Indies.
Glenn Phillips and Devon Conway, who featured in a Twenty20 International world record 181 partnership for the third wicket against the West Indies last month, have retained their places in the side leaving no room for the 36-year-old Taylor, selector Gavin Larsen said in a statement on Saturday.
“This was, as you’d imagine, a very tough decision as Ross has been a consistent performer for us,” Larsen said. “But unfortunately we just couldn’t find room in the squad for him due to the quality and form of the other batsmen.”
