The first ODI match between the two teams will be played on January 24, 2016 at basin reserve wellington. It is a fast pitch with bounce and can provide assistance to bowlers provided they stick line and length and do not go awry in excitement. Match with start at 10: 00 PM GMT with a capacity crowd of 11,000 joining the fun. Last time when the two teams played on this pitch New Zealand chased the total in excess of 250 against Pakistan. KIWI bowlers would try to restrict the scoring rate of the Touring team while the Pakistani counterparts would be looking for wickets to defeat the black caps. All said and done, it will be riveting contest.
