Want to carry forward the winning momentum: Sarfraz Ahmed
DUBAI (92 News) - After Pakistan won their 10th straight Twenty20 International series, captain Sarfraz Ahmed said he wants his side to "carry forward the winning momentum" in the upcoming assignments against New Zealand.
"Obviously, Pakistan are a strong side. That’s something we've known for a long time," said Williamson. "I think last time we played them was at home in New Zealand, it was a tough series. Coming over here they're extremely strong in these conditions and their world ranking suggests that as well, and they've had a lot of success in recent times, so we know it's a tough challenge but one we're looking forward to.
New Zealand will be playing an international game after a gap of almost seven months and their first T20I in nine months.
"Yes, it an unusually long time between internationals,” Williamson admitted. "But there is a lot of cricket being played in different competitions and also the guys have had some cricket. I guess it makes the guys very excited to get back involved and a great country to come to play cricket against Pakistan, who are one of the strongest teams in the world at the moment."
