Speaking at the toss, Pakistan captain Babar said, We are going to bowl first because of the dew factor in Lahore. 170-180 is a par score here. We need to take early wickets and restrict them to 150-160. A few changes in the team. Fakhar is in. Amir also comes in, Afridi misses.
BlackCaps skipper for this series, Michael Bracewell concluded, "We would have bowled first as well. It's a new venue, need to adapt quickly. We got three changes in our team. Josh Clarkson is in, Seifert is out."
