Pakistan aims to rebound against New Zealand in the first ODI of a three-match series starting on March 29, 2025, after a crushing 4-1 defeat in the recent T20I series.
Pakistan welcomes back stars Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan to strengthen their squad. This series marks their first 50-over matches since a disappointing group-stage exit at the Champions Trophy 2025, which was held on home turf. However, recent away ODI victories against Australia and South Africa provide hope for a strong performance.
New Zealand, hosting the match at McLean Park in Napier, aims to extend its dominance over Pakistan. Fans can anticipate an exciting clash as both teams begin the series with high stakes.
