On Wednesday, January 11, Pakistan will play New Zealand in the second one-day international at the National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi. Pakistan took a crucial 1-0 lead in the three-match series after winning the first match by six wickets. While bowling first, the young pacer Naseem Shah took five wickets to keep New Zealand at 255/9. Michael Bracewell scored the most runs for New Zealand with 43, while Tom Latham scored 42.
The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium is where Pakistan and New Zealand will play the first one-day international of their five-match series. After a drawn T20I series, the two groups would need to demonstrate their control in the 50-over design. This track created some engaging matches in Pakistan Super Association 2022. While pursuing, Pakistan’s top-request began well with Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam crushing fifties however it was Mohammad Rizwan’s 77* off 86 balls thump which directed Pakistan to a simple success with 11 balls remaining. Pakistan is favored to win this match as well, having won three of their previous five ODI matches against New Zealand.
Pitch report
The National Bank Cricket Arena in Karachi has a surface that is good for batting and an average first-innings score of 247 runs. In the first ODI played here, New Zealand scored more than 250 runs, but Pakistan easily chased the target in the second innings with little help from the bowlers.
The contribute Rawalpindi is a flat out belter to bat on. There are no demons to be seen on this flat track. The ball will go onto the bat pleasantly and the hitters will actually want to play their shots freely. There is no assistance for any sort of bowlers here.
In the city, PSL 2022 matches featured some extremely high-scoring contests. Runs flowed in the previous Twenty20 International match between these two teams, which was also played at the same location. The limits are tiny here and we can anticipate a great deal of limits and sixes in this match.
At this venue, the average first-innings ODI score is only 236 runs, which is surprising. To have any chance of winning the match, the teams that bat first will aim for a much higher total. After winning the toss, both captains would love to chase because batting under lights can be easier. There will be a run-scoring encounter once more.
