For the T20I, Pakistan Cricket Board has appointed a new captain for the T20 format, Salman Agha. Salman Agha who had good performances in the 1st and 2nd T20I backs his team, especially the youngsters for their performances. With the T20 format giving youngsters their deserved chance to prove themselves and grab a constant spot in the national team, this is a good initiative, but with New Zealand landing some punches against this team. Youngster inclusion has been backfiring the results. Pakistan’s team if they strike a balance they can grab themselves some wins and gain confidence in this format.
What should we expect in the coming games?
New Zealand is a strong team, which they have showcased as the runner ups of Champions Trophy. And winning against them will demand a strong and tough squad and mentality. Pakistan needs to carry themselves with a strong motive and a clear game plan to gain some momentum against New Zealand.
While New Zealand on the other hand, needs to carry their momentum with balance and find a sweet spot and maintain their winning streak. The upcoming T20I will be crucial in deciding who will win the series and who will be a strong team overall.
