LAHORE: Pakistan recovered from a dismal start to hand New Zealand a close defeat in the first PAK vs NZ T20I of the five-match series here at Iconic Gaddafi Stadium.
Opting to bat first, Pakistan failed to script a solid start as their dependable opening pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan perished cheaply.
New Zealand’s right-arm speedster Adam Milne trapped Rizwan with a couple of out-swingers before hitting his pads plumb to draw first success for New Zealand in the second over.
The right-arm pacer kept using his pace to pose threats to the host’s batters and eventually claimed the prized scalp of skipper Babar Azam; castling the latter on seven.
