Delhi: The poor form of Pakistan cricket team continues. After a disappointing performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the team is now on a New Zealand tour, where it has to play 5 T20 and 3 ODIs. The start of this tour was very poor for Pakistan, where the team faced a crushing defeat by 9 wickets under the captaincy of Salman Ali Aga in the first T20 match.
In the absence of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s batting collapsed badly and the entire team was reduced to just 91 runs.
Pakistan’s team came out to bat first, the New Zealand bowlers looked completely helpless. Pakistani batsmen returned to the pavilion one by one and the team was all out for 91 runs. The situation was so bad that 8 batsmen could not even touch the double figure.
In the absence of Babur and Rizwan, Pakistan gave three new players a chance to debut, but all flopped badly. The lack of experience in the batting of the guests was clearly visible, due to which Pakistani batsmen could not stand in front of Kiwi bowlers.
Khushdil Shah scored the highest 32 runs for Pakistan, while captain Salman Ali Aga could score 18 runs. For New Zealand, Jacob Dafi took 4 wickets, Kylie Jamison 3 and Ish Sodhi took 2 wickets.
The New Zealand team, chasing a small target of 91 runs, achieved the target in 10.1 overs without any hassle. Kiwi team opener Tim Sifart scored the highest 44 runs and gave his team an easy win.
