The first Test of the series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played at Mount Manganui from tomorrow and the national team will try to break the home team's winning streak in New Zealand. New Zealand, the world's number one Test team alongside
Australia has been a threat to the big teams at home for some time and has been outstanding in recent times. ۔New Zealand's best form can be gauged from the fact that they recently defeated the West Indies by an innings in both Test matches. New Zealand is currently eyeing the final of the World Test Championship, where they are third behind Australia and India, and a 0-2 victory in the series will take them to the top two. ۔ Australia is top of the World Test Championship with a maximum of 8 wins despite 324 points, India has 360 points but is second due to fewer wins than Australia while New Zealand has 300 points. With the third number. On the other hand, the national team has always been disappointed with the batting in the tour of New Zealand and this time with the form of New Zealand bowling attack as well as the best performance in the absence of captain Babar Azam should not be less than a big challenge for them.

Will In the absence of Babar Azam, the national team will be led by wicketkeeper-batsman Muhammad Rizwan.
New Zealand's best record at home can be gauged from the fact that no team other than Australia and South Africa has beaten him in a Test series since January 2011. But the good news for Pakistan is that before January 2011, apart from Australia and South Africa, Pakistan was the only team to beat New Zealand 0-1 in the Test series. For Pakistan, Ken Williamson XI will not be as Tarnawala as the West Indies because the Pakistan team is equipped with a better bowling line than the West Indies, the most important weapon of which is Muhammad Abbas, known for his authentic bowling. Will It is worth mentioning here that there is a lot of grass on this wicket and so far only one Test match has been played here and in this match played last year, New Zealand had beaten England by an innings. However, regardless of the grass, the line and length of the Pakistani bowlers will be of the utmost importance on this wicket as the West Indies also won the toss and elected to bat twice on the green wickets of New Zealand but continued to bowl well. Failure to do so resulted in an innings defeat in both matches. Pakistan will depend on Muhammad Abbas, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Naseem Shah, while the team management is reluctant to feed Yasir Shah and the fourth fast bowler due to Shadab Khan's injury. Shadab Khan will not be available for the first Test due to injury, which will require the team to reduce the number of batsmen to an all-rounder, but in favorable conditions for New Zealand bowlers. It will be a very difficult decision. The wicket for the match seems to be favorable for the bowlers as usual and the toss can play a decisive role as the team that wins the toss will decide to bowl first.
