New Zealand won the toss and opted to bowl first at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Sunday, March 16. Kyle Jamieson, making his T20I return after nearly two years, gave the hosts a perfect start with a wicket-maiden. He dismissed Mohammad Haris for a duck. Debutant Hasan Nawaz also departed for a duck.
Tim Robinson took a stunning catch at backward point to dismiss Shadab Khan, reminiscent of Glenn Phillips’ brilliance in the Champions Trophy. Kyle Jamieson picked up his third wicket as Pakistan slumped to 11-4 in the series opener.
New Zealand's fielding brilliance continues to be a key asset. Glenn Phillips has developed a habit of taking spectacular catches in the same region, notably dismissing Muhammad Rizwan and Virat Kohli in the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Pakistan Register Unwanted Batting Record in First T20I Against New Zealand
Pakistan failed to recover from their early batting collapse against New Zealand's seam attack. They were bowled out for just 91 in 18.4 overs. Khushdil Shah was the top scorer with 32 runs, one of only three batters to reach double figures.
In response, New Zealand openers Finn Allen and Tim Seifert provided a solid start with a 53-run partnership in the powerplay. Tim Robinson then played a quick cameo to seal the chase, as the hosts secured victory with more than nine overs to spare.
We Weren't Up to the Mark - Salman Ali Agha
"It was difficult, we weren't up to the mark, but we need to regather (ahead of Dunedin). They bowled really well, in great areas, there was a bit of seam movement as well. We will sit down, have a chat and think about the next game. We had three debutants, the more games they play, they'll learn more," newly appointed captain Salman Ali Agha said during the post-match presentation (via Cricbuzz).
