RAWALPINDI: Leg-spinner Zahid Mahmood was left out of the final IX for today's match against New Zealand, which was played at Pindi Cricket Stadium
The game begins at 2:30 p.m.
Senior sports writer Abdul Majid Bhatti told Geo News that Pakistan's spin bowling options include Shadab Khan and Usman Qaadir, both of whom are capable bowlers.
Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haris Rauf, Hassan Ali, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imam-ul-Haq, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakil, and Shaheen Shah Afridi are among the other players who will face the Black Caps.
Pakistan's team had agreed to play at least two wrist-spinners in the opening ODI, according to media reports. Pakistan was said to be able to field three spinners, although this was contingent on the status of the pitch.
“The surface will be dry to start with as well as good for the spinners,” a curator at the Pindi Stadium said, “but you never know what will be there in a day-night game.” Under these harsh conditions, the function of the seamen becomes even more critical. As a result, using three spinners and two-seamers is never a smart idea.”
“This is a three-match series, and the following two matches may see some adjustments. Right now, we can tell that these 12 are the finest for the job.
