Pakistan (PAK) enters the second game against New Zealand (NZ) with a 1-0 advantage in the five-match One-Day International (ODI) series. The second ODI will take place in Rawalpindi, the site of the first game on Thursday, in which the team led by Babar Azam defeated Tom Latham and company by five wickets.
On Thursday, Team Pakistan performed a faultless game in which both their batting and bowling were on point. Once more, the fielding staff gave off the impression of being careless, which might have cost them runs but didn’t.
On this white-ball tour, New Zealand’s collective batting has not been up to par. The club has survived thanks to individual flashes of brilliance, with Mark Chapman and Daryl Mitchell currently standing out.
