Rizwan Confident in Batting First
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan, standing in as skipper, expressed confidence in his team's decision to bat first on a dry pitch.
"Want to bat first. Pitch looks dry. We are trying to do our best. I said in the press conference about the cultural problem, but we're trying to fix it," Rizwan stated.
Pakistan have made one change to their lineup for the final.

Karachi Pitch Report: A Slower Surface in the First Innings?
Experts Bazid Khan and Vernon Philander highlighted subtle differences in the surface compared to the previous game, suggesting it might play slightly two-paced in the first innings.
"It was brilliant chasing the other night, but looks slightly different today. There are a couple of dry spots, might be two-paced and scoring might be lower. I do feel it'll be better at night with dew. Don't think the surface will slow up that much in the evening," they observed.
New Zealand to Remain Cautious with Rachin Ravindra’s Return
New Zealand coach Gary Stead confirmed that Rachin Ravindra continues to recover from the head injury he sustained in the tournament opener. Though his headaches have subsided, the management is not looking to rush him back, especially with Devon Conway performing well as his replacement.
Meanwhile, fast bowler Lockie Ferguson, who suffered a hamstring injury during the ILT20, has resumed training and is gradually increasing his workload. Stead indicated that the team is likely to ease Ferguson back into action over the next two games, ensuring he regains full match fitness before returning to the XI.
