THE LOWDOWN
PAKISTAN
Pakistan made light work of New Zealand yesterday, with rain failing to prevent them from dominating on this occasion. Bowling first, the hosts rolled the Black Caps over for just 90 from 18.1 overs, which saw Pakistan display ruthless effectiveness both in terms of taking wickets, but also preventing any consistent flow of runs. Babar Azam’s ultimately chased their target down with seven wickets remaining.
NEW ZEALAND
It goes without saying that New Zealand will need to bat significantly better this time around if they are to stand any chance of levelling the series. Several players are missing from their first-choice starting line-up and that ultimately was telling against quality opposition. Only four batters managed to reach double figures, whilst the bowlers lacked potency.
THE PREDICTION
You would expect a significant improved batting performance from New Zealand on this occasion but there is no denying that the difference in quality between these two teams is vast in regards to this series due to those missing New Zealand stars. Pakistan won’t rest on their laurels and should ram home their advantage by sealing another victory.
