1st T20I, Rawalpindi, April 18, 2024, 08:00 PM New Zealand 2/1(0.2ov) Pakistan Match Abandoned Summary Score Card Commentary Graphs Teams Commentry That is all from this game. Just the two balls played in this one. Join us for the second match on the 20th of this month at 8 pm IST (2.30 pm GMT). Join us earlier for the build up. Cheers. Mark Chapman walks to the middle. Chapman comes in and brings some rain as well. We think that should be the end of the game.  Yes, players are shaking hands. Not the comeback we were hoping for to international cricket. The rain gods have the upper hand. Not the resumption we wanted but that is all from this game. NO RESULT. In over# 1 0W 2lb Shaheen Afridi 0/1(0.2) 0.2 W OUT! TIMBER! Cleans him up. Trademark Afridi. This is full and he gets it to shape back in. It comes back in late. Robinson looks to hit it down the ground but this sneaks between the gap of bat and pad and hits the stumps. Perfect start for the hosts. 0.1 2lb Two leg byes! New Zealand are underway! Full and on the leg pole. Comes back in. Robinson looks to flick but misses. It hits the pad and goes towards fine leg for two. Time for the action to begin! Out come the players again. Tim Robinson and Tim Seifert are the openers. Shaheen Afridi to bowl the first over. Here we go... Update 10.40 pm IST (05.30 pm GMT) - We have the best news for you by far, it is a 5 over contest and the game should start soon. Update - 10.08 pm IST (4.38 pm GMT) - Some movement on the ground. The covers are slowly coming off but we have lost a lot of time already. Let's hope we get positive news. Update - 9.30 pm IST (4 pm GMT) - The rain has eased off, it actually has almost gone. The covers are still in place though. The wait continues. Update (9.03 pm IST) (3.33 pm GMT) - It continues to rain and there was sights of thunder also nearby. The delay seems a lengthy one. All we can do for now is keep our fingers crossed and hope. Update - 8.30 pm IST (3 pm GMT) - Well, just as the first ball was being bowled, it has started to drizzle and the covers are on. It has gotten heavier now as well as we write. The players run back to the dug out but it seems a passing shower. Time for action to unfold. It's time for national anthems first. The players have lined up and it will be the visitors' national anthem first followed by the hosts. All set now. Tim Robinson and Tim Seifert to open for the Kiwis. Shaheen Afridi to bowl first. Let's go... New Zealand (Playing XI) - Tim Seifert, Tim Robinson, Dean Foxcroft, Mark Chapman, James Neesham, Michael Bracewell (C), Josh Clarkson, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy, Ben Sears, Benjamin Lister. Pakistan (Playing XI) - Babar Azam (C), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Rizwan (WK), Usman Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Irfan Khan, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir, Abrar Ahmed. Babar Azam says he is happy with the squad available for this series and it's a good opportunity to utilise and try some players. Shares they wanted to bowl first due to overcast conditions. Reckons the first six overs are going to be crucial. Michael Bracewell says it is a wonderful wicket and will put runs on the board. Adds Tim Robinson makes his debut and he is loking forward to the series after picking up an injury. TOSS - New Zealand have won the toss and will BAT. Update - 7.50 pm IST (2.20 pm GMT) - The rain has stopped! The action will start at 8.30 pm IST. The toss will happen in the next 10 minutes. Update - 7.25 pm IST (1.55 pm GMT) - The weather has not been supportive at Rawalpindi for the past few days and it's drizzling right now as well. Unfortunately, the toss has been delayed. Stay tuned.  It's time for international cricket to resume as we welcome you all for the clash between Pakistan and New Zealand. As the teams prepare for the upcoming T20 World Cup held in June, New Zealand will take on Pakistan for a 5-match T20I series. New Zealand have named a 'B' team as most of their players are performing in the Indian T20 League. Michael Bracewell is handed the captaincy role with quite a few new faces waiting to make an impact. New Zealand still have players like Tim Seifert, James Neesham, Ish Sodhi and Tom Blundell to gather some experience but to compare that to Pakistan, we feel the home team are the favourites to win the series. Babar Azam is back with the captaincy role after a small stint by Shaheen Afridi. Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim have come back from retirement after a successful PSL and are all set to help their team prepare for the T20I World Cup. Who do you think will win? Toss and team news next.
