We’ve got a good idea as to how Pakistan approach things: Devon Conway


New Zealand batter, Devon Conway, has expressed his views on confronting Pakistan in white-ball cricket, ahead of the upcoming five-match T20I series scheduled to start on January 12 in Auckland.

In a recent video released by New Zealand Cricket on the social media platform ‘X,’ Conway highlighted Pakistan’s formidable skills with both bat and ball, emphasizing the quality of their fast bowling and top-order batters.

“We have played a lot of cricket against Pakistan, particularly in white ball cricket. They’re a very skillful unit with bat and ball,” Conway said.

“You know, they’ve got some really quality fast bowling and some quality batters up front. So, you know, for us, we’ve got a good idea as to how they approach things. And, you know, it’s always a good challenge playing against Pakistan, specifically in white ball cricket,” he added.
