Pakistan Playing 11 vs New Zealand - 1st ODI, Pakistan ODI tri-series 2025:
With Saim Ayub injured and Abdullah Shafique dropped, Pakistan are likely to have a new opening pair for the upcoming game. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam are likely to be the openers in the Pakistan Playing 11 and the onus will be on the senior duo to give their team a good start.
On the other hand, Babar recently failed to impress in the two home Tests against West Indies and will look to bounce back.
Middle-order batsmen and allrounders: Mohammad Rizwan (c), Kamran Ghulam, Saud Shakeel, Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir
While Kamran Ghulam could not impress against West Indies, he made an impact in South Africa. He will be looking to start the series on a good note. Saud Shakeel has been in good touch in Tests in recent times and would be hoping to perform in the same manner in ODIs too. Tayyab Tahir is another batting option in the Pakistan middle-order.
Bowlers: Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
Pakistan are likely to play the game with three frontline pacers and one pacer. Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, and Naseem Shah have been the preferred pace trio in the Pakistan Playing 11 while Abrar Ahmed is expected to be the the frontline spinner of the team.
