Pakistan vs New Zealand, first Test: live streaming, when and where to watch and squads

The first Test of New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan will begin on Monday (December 26) at the National Stadium in Karachi. The match will be played exactly two years after Pakistan visited New Zealand for a two-match series and was humiliated. New Zealand has won the last three Tests against Pakistan and, under a new captain, Tim Southee, will not settle for anything less than success in the upcoming matches. Pakistan’s back is already against the wall following a thrashing by England earlier this month.

England trounced Pakistan in their most recent home series. Pakistan lost the three-match series 3-0 and must find serious solutions to their problems. It will be intriguing to see how they respond after seeming stupid throughout the series against England. New Zealand, on the other hand, will play a test match in a few months. They most recently played a series against England in June, which they also defeated 3-0. As a result, they would have something to prove as well and would try to play out of their skins to go past Pakistan.
