The 2nd Test match between Pakistan & New Zealand was a riveting one. The Black Caps would be disappointed that they couldn’t take the final wicket after working so hard on a conducive pitch. The skipper Tim Southee was spot on with his field placings where he made Pakistan batters work hard for every run.

Sarfaraz Ahmed smashed a staggering century against all odds and almost took Pakistan over the finish line. The batter now has made a strong case for himself in the Test Arena, where PCB would be hoping that the batter works on his wicket-keeping skills a bit.

Matt Henry Injured Ahead of Pakistan ODIs

The right-arm speedster Matt Henry is out of the ODI series after surviving an abdominal strain during the 5th day of the 2nd Test Match.  The management would be worried as earlier Adam Milne withdrew due to lack of preparation and now Matt Henry where their bowling attack looks a bit fragile and the onus would be on Tim Southee.

Intriguing Series on Cards

Both Pakistan & New Zealand have qualified for the marquee ODI World Cup 2023. Skipper Kane Williamson would be well aware of the fact that they cannot take Pakistan lightly as they have a surprise element in them. A lot will depend on how Lockie Ferguson fares as the pacer has got some sheer pace.

This ODI Series promises to be an exciting contest as both the teams are evenly matched and all the matches are going to be played in Karachi where we can expect high-scoring thrillers. The fans would be hoping that the men in Green end their home season on a high note.
