New Zealand is the same team that rejected to play in opposition to Pakistan at the eleventh hour quoting ‘security reasons’, putting up and going about an hour ahead of their first one-dayer last month. After that England too had canceled its tour to Pakistan.
Pakistani captain Babar Azam and coach Saqlain Mushtaq also highlighted in post-match talks with the team to celebrate victory versus arch-rival India but remain engaged on the next match.
Specialists said that Pakistan will need to rapidly adapt from the area of high pressure of their historic win.
For the Pakistan cricket team, beating India was like going the monkey around off their back, and now is the time to aim at the next game next to New Zealand.
Kiwis captain Kane Williamson remembering the postponement of the Pakistan tour just prior to the T20 World Cup said,” “There are a lot of good relationships in the two teams. Over the years they’ve been a lot compared to each other, and a total of players have played with each other, as well.”
