    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    To be fair to Babar, Fakhar was supposed to be the aggressor but his innings ended up stalling the chase instead (not for lack of trying I know). Dotting up at both ends is fatal.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    One definite gap in the absence of Boult/Ferguson is someone who can land yorkers in at the death.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    I'm a bit sceptical of how NZ's bowling will go against the better batting sides, Pakistan are somehow a favourable matchup for their attack in this format and they've managed to boss them more than you'd expect. That said it's a better attack than the one put out in the 2023 WC, Bracewell and...

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    It seems to have played similar to the tri-series final, there too NZ didn't have a particularly easy chase, and got to the target with some help from Pakistan.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Yeah will concede this, with the exception of Young and Salman no one has hit the ground running. In which case we probably need to question the decision to field first.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Held his own against some fine newball bowling but his continued trend of getting tied down by the offspinners hasn’t helped at all. Puts Young’s effort in perspective you feel.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    That Smith short ball does surprise batsmen quite a bit

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Nah this would be getting carried away IMO. Can see other sides making it much harder for NZ’s spinners. i don’t mind Smith coming on now, Salman is playing very well and is looking in command against spin. Probably left with too much to do but Pakistan are just starting to find momentum.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Not the first outfield catch Conway's dropped from recent memory. In the middle of weird little holding pattern here. Hope Santner comes in right away. Not necessary to shield himself from the Fakhar threat and he's better off bowling to Babar before he gets truly stuck in.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Fakhar determined to have a major say here, fun to see. The spinners should all just do what Bracewell has done for a few balls already, slow it down and bowl to the offside field. Looks like he's picking on any opportunity to target the square leg/midwicket boundary.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Hasn't found his niche in the IPL yet, mainly because SRH don't play him in the first XI with the likes of Head, Cummins, Brook, Markram and others generally starting. Also he's still viewed as a bit of a curiosity in India, despite the recent test series Indian crowds are yet to see the best of...

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Possibly, but Crowe turning to gentle medium pace plus Patel was also because the likes of Morrison were getting hit around just before that tournament. Guess it's a big what if, but Inzi and Miandad were freakishly good that day.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Yeah Rohit at Dharmasala in the 2023 WC was a good example of what to do against Henry. Pretty much a dream start for NZ, impressive with the new ball.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Good stuff so far with the new ball WOR. His role is pretty significant given NZ are in a major tournament without Boult or Ferguson after a long time.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Class innings, looks disappointed he didn't go further but had the right idea. Good platform for Phillips and Bracewell to hopefully close things out.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    This is the sort of innings which really should be Latham's regular contribution. Guess the chancy 50 in the previous game did bat him into much better form.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    His game has definitely evolved when it comes to slower conditions. The India tour was an obvious example, but in the SL ODIs too he looked in top form even if he didnt have the high scores to show for it.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Yuss! A Will Young century, and a top innings at that. Had to do all the heavy lifting himself and looked quite serene.

    1st Match - Pakistan v New Zealand

    Good testing over from Rauf but Latham responded well after the drop. Played a good innings here apart from that chance.
