Pakistan are bowled out for 91 - their lowest T20 total in New Zealand - in the series opener in Christchurch.

A new era for Pakistan white ball cricket got off to a rough start Sunday with a nine wicket loss to New Zealand in the first of five Twenty20 internationals. First time captain Salman Ali Agha led a new look team into the match which followed Pakistan's poor performance at home in the 50-overs Champions Trophy and began its buildup to the 2026 T20 World Cup.

Pakistan Cricket Board have made the move to make Agha T20I captain with their eyes on the next two marquee T20 tournaments - the Asia Cup in September 2025 and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in India next year.

With this win over Pakistan in the first T-20 by nine wickets, the Kiwis are 1-0 up in the five-match T20I series. After bundling Pakistan out for just 91 runs in 18.4 overs, NZ chased it down in just 10.
