Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first against New Zealand

Pakistan have won the toss and elected to field first at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Babar Azam's men will look to take a 2-0 lead in the five match series after winning the first game by 5 wickets. Pakistan have made three changes to that side. Shan Masood has been replaced by Abdullah Shafique, Shadab Khan has dropped out out for Usama Mir and Shaheen Afridi is rested. That means Ihsanullah makes his ODI debut.

New Zealand also rested fast bowler Adam Milne, bringing in Henry Shipley in his place. James Neesham has come in to replace Blair Tickner.

Pakistan: Fakhar Zaman, Imam-Ul-Haq, Babar Azam (capt), Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Agha Salman, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Ihsanullah

New Zealand: Chad Bowes, Will Young, Daryl Mitchell, Tom Latham (capt & wk), Mark Chapman, Henry Nicholls, James Neesham, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Shipley, Ish Sodhi, Matt Henry
