Pakistan have already taken a 1-0 lead in their five-match One-day International series against New Zealand. They will hope to replicate the performance in the second match, which is slated to be played on April 29 at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi. Opener Fakhar Zaman shone with the bat in the opening ODI, in which Pakistan registered a comprehensive 5-wicket victory.
Batting first, New Zealand put up a worth-fighting total of 288 runs thanks to a centurion knock by Daryll Mitchell and a half-century from opener Will Young. In response, Pakistan didn’t need to handle much pressure with Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq pulling off a perfect start to the chase. Captain Babar Azam missed the fifty for just one run but managed to anchor the innings quite well. In the end, an unbeaten 42 from Mohammad Rizwan got the job done for the hosts with 9 balls to spare.
