Toss Pakistan opt to bowl vs New Zealand
Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl in the first ODI against New Zealand in Karachi.
Shipley, on the other hand, was expected to fill in the position left vacant by the tall Kyle Jamieson, who is sidelined due to injury. New Zealand also opted to play two spinners in Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner and they have the option of part-timers Glenn Phillips and captain Kane Williamson to fall back on.
