Betting Tips
- From Pakistan’s side, Babar Azam has scored 412 runs against the Kiwis. Babar also holds the record for the highest score at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore with an 87*. On the other hand, Ihsanullah, in his first T20 series against Afghanistan, was the highest wicket-taker with six wickets. In the opening T20I matchup with New Zealand, we anticipate the young bowler to take around 2 wickets.
- Against Pakistan, when Daryl Mitchell last assumed leadership with the bat, he smashed a fantastic score of 53* and scored 183 runs in 2023 alone. Adam Milne, on the other hand, has taken the most wickets.
- Given Milne’s ability to generate swing with the new ball, we anticipate him to claim over 2 wickets against Pakistan on Friday in Lahore.

Pakistan vs New Zealand 1st T20 Match Prediction & Betting
The first game of their five-game Twenty20 International series between Pakistan and New Zealand will take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. NZ will be aiming to get off to a strong start despite the fact that the home team is expected to be back at full strength after losing their previous series against Afghanistan.
For this T20I series, Pakistan will welcome players like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi. Saim Ayyub, Ihsanullah, Imad Wasim, and Zaman Khan from Pakistan’s previous series against Afghanistan in the UAE have also retained their place in the squad.
The majority of New Zealand’s top players are now competing in the IPL. So, the team’s young guns have made their way into the squad. However, facing a star-studded Pakistan team, James Neesham, Adam Milne, and Tom Latham will all be required to lead from the front.
