Shake Pakistan Choose hit vs. New Zealand
Pakistan won the raffle and chose to hit the Tri-Series series in Karachi, five days before the two teams meet again in the first trophy match in the same place.
Henry rested as a precautionary measure due to a small knee plain.
The New Zealand rhythm spearhead, Ferguson, has resumed the bowling after hurting their hamstrings while playing in the ILT20 in the EAU but was not ready to play in the final of the Tri-series series. On the eve of the final, Chief coach Gary Stead was optimistic about Ferguson’s progress, saying “I was tracking well.”
