The video was widely shared on social media, with cricket fans from both nations appreciating the warm gesture.
New Zealand-Pakistan T20I series
The two teams have already played four games of the five-match T20I series, with Pakistan leading the series 2-1.
The final match of the T20 series is scheduled to be held on April 24th, with Pakistan aiming to clinch the series.
However, the fourth T20I between Pakistan and New Zealand at the Pindi Cricket Stadium on Thursday evening was abandoned due to rain.
This is New Zealand’s first tour of Pakistan in 18 years, and their visit is being hailed as a major step in the revival of international cricket in the country.
The tour has been planned amid tight security measures to ensure the safety of the players and officials.
