Pakistan came strong in the second ODI and defeated New Zealand by 6 wickets. With the first ODI being won by the Kiwis, Tomorrow’s match will be the series decider and both teams will put their best effort to win the series.
Batting first, New Zealand lost early wickets due to Shaheen’s brilliance with the ball. Ross Taylor was the only positive with the bat for New Zealand scoring unbeaten knock of 86 runs but no support from other end lead to a low target of 209. Shaheen Afridi took his consecutive four-wicket haul while Hasan Ali took two wickets. Economical spells from Shadab, Hafeez and Faheem ensured New Zealand could not pace their innings.

Imam Ul Haq got retired hurt but Fakhar ended his recent drought of runs in limited overs format by scoring 88 runs. Babar Azam also played a good knock of 46 runs.
