After a disastrous test series at home against England, the Pakistan cricket team gears up to host New Zealand in a two game test series. The first game takes place in Karachi where an under-fire Pakistan will be looking for an upliftment in performance. The Men in Green have always been brilliant at home and hence it was a surprise for many with the way they folded against the Englishmen. New Zealand pulled out of the Pakistan series citing security reasons in 2021 and hence their return this time has added an extra spice to the competition. The BlackCaps are fierce competitors, and they will feel it is an ideal opportunity to win an important away series. Pakistan versus New Zealand will be streamed on the Sony Sports network and streamed on Sony Liv app from 10:30 AM IST. Danish Kaneria Shares Shahid Afridi’s Old Photo of Ball Tampering After the Latter Being Named As Pakistan’s Interim Chief. 

Pakistan’s problem at the moment is their batting unit which consistently failed against England at crucial junctures. This is where Babar Azam will need to step up and show the way by leading from the front. His leadership skills have come under immense fire recently and he will hope it does not have an impact on his batting. Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq are other dependable players that banks on. In bowling, Abrar Ahmed will once again try and weave his magic after a brilliant outing against England.

Tim Southee is the new skipper of New Zealand test side after Kane Williamson stepped down. The Kiwi pacer has an excellent squad to chose his playing eleven from and will opt for a batting heavy side with Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, and Will Young all featuring.
