RAWALPINDI: New Zealand captain Michael Bracewell has won the toss and decided to bat first against Pakistan in the first T20I match of the five-match series at the Pinid Cricket Stadium.
Earlier, the toss between Pakistan and New Zealand was delayed due to a wet outfield of the stadium due to heavy downpour on Thursday.
