After 9 overs, New Zealand going with 4.4 runs per over and their runs forecast is 258 runs at the moment. Khushdil Shah is once again back in the squad and it's time for him to prove that he really deserved to be in the squad otherwise selectors won't give him more chances. Pakistan is playing this match with experienced players along with few young faces. Outcome of this match will give an idea of Pakistan preparation for upcoming ICC CT 2025.
