New Zealand and United Arab Emirates (UAE) are set to clash in the first Twenty International (T20I) of a three-match series on Thursday in Dubai. This match marks the first-ever meeting between the two teams in the shortest format of the game.

The New Zealand squad, consisting of several players from their second-string lineup, will be led by fast bowler Tim Southee. On the other hand, UAE will be helmed by Muhammad Waseem, who will make his T20I captaincy debut.

The Black Caps are entering this series after a 2-2 draw against Pakistan away from home in April. Their performance in that series showcased their depth and ability to compete against strong opposition. UAE, on the other hand, faced a 1-2 defeat against Afghanistan at home in February, and they will be keen to bounce back with a strong showing against New Zealand.

Both teams will be looking to make an impact and gain valuable momentum ahead of the upcoming T20 World Cup, which is scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates and Oman in October-November this year. This series provides the teams with an opportunity to fine-tune their strategies and assess their players in the T20I format.

According to a report by Sportstar.thehindu.com, the first T20I between New Zealand and UAE will be telecast live on the Star Sports Network in India at 7:30 PM IST. Fans can also catch the action through live streaming on the FanCode app and website.
