Pakistan elects to bowl again as they aim to keep T20 Series alive against New Zealand

Posted : 17 January 2024

In the third Twenty20 international between Pakistan and New Zealand in Dunedin, Pakistan won the toss and once again opted to bowl first. The Black Caps, having won the first two games comfortably by 46 and 21 runs, are in a position to secure the five-match series with another victory.

 

Pakistan's captain, Shaheen Shah Afridi, highlighted the overcast conditions as a favorable factor for bowling, expressing the team's readiness to win and keep the series alive.

 

New Zealand's stand-in captain, Mitchell Santner, mentioned that he, too, would have chosen to bowl first, expecting a high-scoring performance. The absence of regular captain Kane Williamson, initially rested for game three, will extend for the remainder of the series due to a hamstring injury.

 

Tim Seifert replaces Williamson, and additional bowling strength is introduced with the inclusion of Matt Henry and Lockie Ferguson. Notably, New Zealand has an impeccable record at Dunedin's University Oval, having never lost in 15 internationals at the venue.

 

The lineups for the match include players like Finn Allen, Devon Conway, and Tim Southee for New Zealand, while Pakistan features Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, and Shaheen Afridi. The clash in Dunedin becomes crucial for Pakistan to secure a win and keep their hopes alive in the series.
