com/iSmtF1bYPl— Sitarah Anjum Official (@SitarahAnjum) April 5, 2025 Imam copped a blow on head so Pakistan will have option to name a replacement player for Imam. The team has Irfan Khan in the squad who could come in if Pakistan need and Imam is not fit to return. Meanwhile, New Zealand set a target of 265 runs to win for Pakistan.

The match was delayed due to wet outfield which resulted in the game getting curtailed to 42 overs. Debutant Rhys Mariu played a brilliant 58 run innings to give New Zealand a great start and 43 by Daryl Mitchell in the middle and a fiery 59 off 40 in final overs by captain Michael Bracewell helped New Zealand post a formidable total on the board.Pakistan have already lost the series after losing the first two games.

The team suffered a 4-1 defeat in the T20I series as well. The Men in Green named a young squad for the T20Is, however, they will full strength in ODIs and were expected to deliver a solid performance, but the team was a total letdown in the first two games..
