Pakistan (PAK) will lock horns with New Zealand (NZ) in the 2nd T20I match of the New Zealand tour of Pakistan at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on April 15. In the first game, Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat. Pakistan lost both their openers very early. But a third-wicket partnership of 79 runs between Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub turned the game on its head. They lost a few more wickets and were bowled out for 182 runs. Each of the Kiwi bowlers picked at least one wicket.

New Zealand, when returned to chase the total, lost wickets regularly. Only four batters managed to make a double-digit score. Haris Rauf was the chief architect in destroying New Zealand’s batting lineup as he took away four wickets, giving away just 18 runs. New Zealand were bowled out for a mere score of 94; hence, Pakistan won the match by 88 runs.

Pitch Report

The track at the Gaddafi Stadium is a batting-friendly one, where the batters get full value for their shots. Meanwhile, bowlers will have to maintain tight lines and lengths to control the flow of runs. Chasing the total would be a preferred option here, with the average first innings score being 161.

9

Fakhar Zaman PAK | BAT

Zaman scored 47 runs as well from 34 balls at a strike rate of 138.23 in the last match. He should find a place in your fantasy team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

6

Chad Bowes
