Against Pakistan, New Zealand scored 56 runs for the loss of one wicket in the first 11 overs.
In the match being played in Rawalpindi, the captain of the national cricket team, Babar Azam, won the toss and decided to field first.
On this occasion, Kiwi captain Tom Latham said that like T20, he will start the World Cup preparations by making a brilliant comeback in the ODI series.
The second match of the series between the two teams is scheduled on April 29 in Rawalpindi, while the remaining three matches are scheduled at the National Stadium in Karachi.
On the other hand, middle-order batsman Haris Sohail, who was injured during the practice session yesterday, is feeling a bit of pain in his left shoulder, so he was not included in the playing XI.
Pakistan Squad:
Captain Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Imamul Haq, Shan Masood, Muhammad Rizwan, Agha Salman, Shadab Khan, Muhammad Nawaz, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf are included.
