PAK vs NZ Dream11 1st T20I: Pakistan will take on New Zealand in the first T20I of the 5-match series at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on Thursday, April 18.

Pakistan have named a full-strength squad for the series with Babar Azam back as the captain. Mohammad Amir and Imad Wasim, who recently came out of retirement, have also found place in the 17-member squad. Haris Rauf has missed a berth due to his injury which he incurred during the PSL 2024.

New Zealand, on the other hand, would be playing with a second-string squad as their key players - Kane Williamson, Rachin Ravindra, Trent Boult, Glenn Phillips and others - are participating in the IPL 2024. Tim Southee has also been rested to manage his workload management.
