Kiwis speedster ready to attack Fakhar Zaman

Pakistan would officially be kicking off their tour of New Zealand on Saturday, as they would play their One Day International (ODI) of the five match series against the Black Caps at Wellington.

New Zealand bowling spearhead Tim Southee has picked up his bunny for the series and that is none other than Pakistan’s opening batsman Fakhar Zaman.

"He is obviously an exciting player, who likes to get on with it. Hopefully we can change that record he's got," Southee said, quoted NZ Newswire.

The fast bowler was of the view that Zaman’s inexperience in New Zealand would be a challenge for the batsman, who marked his name in international cricket after a sensational batting display at Champions Trophy.

"It's a great start to his international career but he's never toured New Zealand, so there are a few challenges for him to adapt to different conditions," said Southee.

Pakistan will play five-match ODI series followed by a three-match T20I series against New Zealand, commencing from January 6 to January 28.
