New Zealand beat Pakistan by five wickets in the first T20I and took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Pakistan's top order failed miserably against an inexperienced New Zealand bowling attack. Barring skipper Shadab Khan and Faheem Ashraf, no other Pakistan player could play an innings of substance which is why they were few runs short in the first T20I. The Pakistan batsmen will look to rectify their mistakes in the second T20I and put in a better performance to draw the series level.

On the other hand, New Zealand performed brilliantly in the first T20I in all three facets of the game. They were in total control of the game from the start to the end. Debutant Jacob Duffy put in a match-winning performance for them whereas Tim Seifert scored a fifty. The hosts will look to wrap the series up by winning the fixture on Sunday.
