The one who wreaked havoc across the world is back in cricket. Corona, which stopped cricket for a long time in 2020, has attacked cricket again. In fact, New Zealand's star all-rounder Mitchell Santner was infected with Corona and therefore could not play the first T20 against Pakistan.
The first match of the five-match T20 series between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played at Eden Park in Auckland. Mitchell Santner is not playing in this game. In fact, he has become Corona positive and that is why he is not playing the first T20 against Pakistan.
In the first T20 played in Auckland, Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl. However, at the time of writing, this decision by Pakistan appears to have been proven wrong. At the time of writing, New Zealand have scored 119 runs for two wickets in 12 overs. Kane Williamson and Daryl Mitchell play. Previously, Devon Conway was trailing by zero. While Finn Allen scored 35 runs in 15 balls with the help of 3 fours and 3 sixes.
Let us tell you that fast bowler Abbas Afridi and leg spinner Usama Mir have made their debut for Pakistan. Abbas Afridi also had a wicket in his debut game. Abbas fired Finn Allen. However, Usama Mir's debut is not going well.
