Kyle Jamieson takes three wickets, Pakistan collapses

In the first T20I against New Zealand, Pakistan struggled without key players Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, ending the powerplay at 14 for 4. Fast bowler Kyle Jamieson took three wickets in 11 balls, dismantling the top order. Jamieson dismissed opener Mohammad Haris on the last ball of the first over and later took out Irfan Khan and Shadab Khan. Pakistan's selectors dropped Babar and Rizwan after a poor Champions Trophy performance to explore a new approach in T20 cricket. Despite their absence in the T20I series, Babar and Rizwan will play in the upcoming ODI series against New Zealand, starting on March 29.
