The first Twenty20I between Pakistan and New Zealand ended in a washout as the rain gods let loose their fury on the cricket pitch. In the inaugural Twenty20 International, just two balls were bowled; the rest was washed away by the rain.
Even in those two bowls, Shaheen Shah stole the show when he castled through the defenses of the debutant opener Tim Robinson in the second bowl of the match before the rain hampered the contest.
Now, after a disappointing outing in the first contest due to bad weather, both teams will be out with most of their expectations for clear and playable weather conditions in the second T20I.
