Preview

Pakistan (PAK) will host New Zealand (NZ) in the second match of the Test Series on Monday. This match will be played at the National Stadium in Karachi. The series is tied at 0-0 after the opening match ended in a draw. After opting to bat first on a pretty flat wicket Pakistan managed to score 438 runs on the back of Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed and a century from Salman Ali Agha. In reply, New Zealand started strong with both openers laying the platform and Williamson scored a double hundred as the visitors ended up with 612/9. They declared the innings and did try their best to bundle out Pakistan in the final day. They were close but Saud Shakeel ensure that the home team had no hiccups as he ensured a draw. Babar Azam made a brave decision to declare with 15 overs remaining and New Zealand were set a target of 138. They were cruising along at 61/1 before bad light stopped play and ensure a draw match.

7.5

Shan Masood

PAK | BAT

Shan Masood has struggled in the previous few matches in this format and can be avoided for this match.
